    Please help, out of ideas!

    We lost our hen today. She was gasping for breath and really suffering so I had to put her down. I had gotten three doses of the antibiotic in her and she hadn't perked up, so I assume whatever she had I found too late or it was just incurable. At least she's not suffering anymore. I would like...

    bumble foot

    @funkfairy have you tried spraying with Vetericyn spray after soaking? Or you could try blu-kote or something similar

    @casportpony I was a bit excited this morning to see some cecal poop, despite the fact her regular poop is just as watery as ever! Until I weighed her: 2lbs 5.4oz :( Despite my best efforts she is dying. I will try this antibiotic as a last ditch effort in the hope it works but I'm realizing...

    bumble foot

    What you are doing is exactly how we treated a case of bumble foot. The only other thing I know of that you might try is soaking every day for three days in very warm Epsom salt water for 20 minutes before you try expressing the infection out and then changing the dressing. After the third soak...

    Poop is exactly the same, mostly water. I was able to get 120mL in her today for the first time, hopefully that will help.

    @casportpony About 7 amox and 40-50 doxy, and I was mistaken the doxy are tablets not capsules

    Please help, out of ideas!

    @casportpony I've got 500mg Amoxicillin capsules, 100mg Doxycycline capsules, and 250mg Cephalexin capsules (only about 5 of these left), and levofloxacin 500mg tablets.

    @casportpony I have penicillin for IM injection, but that's all I have on hand. Are you thinking it might be bacterial or fungal?

    Please help, out of ideas!

    Were up to 80mL. Tried 60mL first time and noticed wet feathers down her chest about 20 mins later. Not sure if she regurgitated some of it, it looked and felt like mostly water. Going to try to get 120mL in her tomorrow. Only gained .4 oz so far. Started 5 day Corid drench today at 20mg/mL. She...

    @casportpony I weighed my girl this morning to get a baseline : 2 lb 10 oz! I began tube feeding, can you remind me how often I should tube her and how much per day she should be taking?

    Please help, out of ideas!

    Just sent you pics of hen and poo. I'm assuming from how thin she is she probably only weighs a pound or two at most. I'm on day 5 of the 7 day Corid treatment, so am I correct that I cannot give her Nutri Drench at the same time? I really feel like she needs it since she's wasting away.

    Does anyone know how long after dosing with Corid or Safeguard I should see improvement?

    Please help, out of ideas!

    I've tried everything I can think of to save this hen- 1 1/2 yr old Buff Orpington. Did a physical exam, not egg bound, no signs of egg yolk peritonitis, abdomen is normal but hen is just skin and bones, pale droopy comb, puffed up feathers, head pulled back into neck, lethargic, droopy tail...

    Urgent help needed!

    Thanks. I don't want to have to cull her, but I don't want her to suffer needlessly either. She has been losing weight for a couple weeks now, and her comb has gotten to the point of almost colorless over the past week. Tonight she is very weak, it breaks my heart!
