    gapeworm?

    Okay - thanks you for all of that and for the links as well. I will check her crop first thing in the morning and compare her to the others. I didn't notice any smell when I looked down her throat, so I'm thinking it is not sour. I'll let you know what I find out.

    very worried about my sick young hen

    I am very happy to report that Agnes, after 4 days of Corid plus her Clavamox, watermelon, applesauce etc...is feeling lots better. She is walking around, stretching , eating her crumbles and generally being a chicken again. Thanks to everyone for their help, I know she wouldn't have made it...

    very worried about my sick young hen

    Tuesday morning my hen (who is about 16 weeks) didn't want to leave the coop. I let the others out at 7 and she was still in sleeping at 8:30. I petted her and she would cluck at me and sleep. I posted a thread and took her to the vet that afternoon. By the 1:40 appointment she was barely with...

    worried about my chicken

    Thanks for your reply. What is the EDC section? I am new to this forum. My chicken is young, too young to lay for at least 2 more months, so I doubt eggbound. I did take her to the vet who did an exam and put her on clavamox in case she had eaten something that gave her an infection. I also have...

    worried about my chicken

    Well, Agnes is eating the applesauce and drinking her water on her own, but otherwise much the same, very tired and not walking around. Should I have already seen improvement? I started her on the corid water yesterday afternoon.

    worried about my chicken

    worried about my chicken

    Great information - cannot thank you all enough. I am going out to get it now and will start giving her the water today. Any suggestions on how much I should get in her? I am using syringes to get food and water down her.

    worried about my chicken

    thank you, I hope so too. I am finding it very hard to find Corid anywhere nearby, only found it for cattle not poultry. Ugh - waiting to hear from the vet at noon, fingers crossed.

    worried about my chicken

    Also, after reading a bit about cocci it said an indication was bloody stools; no droppings have had blood in them. The coop, and now the run, are sand, and I scoop it regularly so I see the droppings clearly. My sick bird has runny stools but no blood.

    worried about my chicken

    THANKS for the reply! Where do I get corid? Can I give it to her while she is on the antibiotic? The bloody bowl movements will come because of the Corid or the cocci? sorry for my ignorance, I really appreciate your help.

    worried about my chicken

    Thanks for your reply. I did find a vet that sees small farm animals, and she is on an antibiotic and we are force feeding her. She is still not doing well. The other 6 are fine and happy. Agnes, however, is weak and tired and wont even stand. We are keeping her inside under a heat lamp. Has...
