    HELP!! Lethargic hen

    Fish antibiotics...amoxicillin 125mg x 3 a day. In pain? 1/2 a baby aspirin with the amoxicillin. It's pulled through a couple of my girls. Lethargic? Yes, time for the vet. One of mine just died from cancer. I cancelled my vet appointment and my girl suffered for 4 extra days. (She rallied...

    Antibiotics for chickens - suggestions?

    casportpony, you're correct, but I must use what I have on hand as I'm on a limited pension. You can go to the Tractor Supply Store and get injectable Tylan 50. Use 1/4 - 1/2cc injected into your chicken a couple of times a day. My vet told me that he'd use penicillin on my chicken, too. The...

    SEVERE Yeast in Crop - Treatment???

    Kefir is a wonderful food that's easy to digest for your sour crop chicken (health food store-goat milk based). It contains many good gut bacteria...loads more than yogurt. I've used it after draining my chicken with sour crop. Kefir brings the bacteria back into balance in her crop. Another...

    Health benefits for Coconut oil

    Coconut oil is good for getting rid of a yeast infection in your chickens, too. I'm giving a dropper full, once a day to my sick chicken with sour crop/thrush/candida. It gives her relief from the toxins in her crop and gives her a little energy boost.

    Leghorn survived peratinitus, now ill again

    Drumstick diva, good advice.... My girl is on tetracycline for the next 7 days. She has a raspy noise in her chest. Heart is going strong. She's had her first dose and is resting peacefully. That's good news. I'm mixing 2 teaspoons of powdered tetracycline (from the Tractor Supply Store) in...

    Leghorn survived peratinitus, now ill again

    Thank you, KikisGirls! Amazing draining articles. My chicken still looks normal. She's not bloated up like the sick birds in the draining articles. Wow!! She's also making smaller than usual poops, but normal in color and texture. I gave her some honey water this afternoon to give her some...

    Leghorn survived peratinitus, now ill again

    No, phoned the vet. He said I was doing everything he would do...Penicillin. Olive survived it. She's still a little swollen, but lately she's lethargic, participates in chicken activities, but tires quickly. Her breathing is more rapid than my other hen's, but not labored. Anyone know about...

    Olive survived peratinitus, but is showing signs of illness again- head down, tail down and sitting a lot. However, she still dust baths, eats and drinks. I'm worried about her. What's next to do? Please, help!!
