    Not eating, shakes head, gasps occasionally

    UPDATE: Lillian is fabulous! I wasn't able to get the Fish Zole, ordered it online, but it would not be here until last Monday. I kept tube feeding her electrolytes, broth and coconut milk, Tylan 50 on the mass. By Sunday, she was so bad and the mass in her throat had changed very little. I...

    Not eating, shakes head, gasps occasionally

    If I am successful in treating this and Lillian survives, what happens to the growth that is in the bottom of her mouth? Does it ever go away? She has such a hard time swallowing. Am I just prolonging her misery? I am worried that I am putting her through a huge ordeal that won't ever have a...

    Thank you, EVERYONE for helping me figure this out. Lillian and her cohort, Dorothy, are my first rescue chickens. I just ordered the meds, after a fruitless day trying to find them here. I am going to do my best to help Lillian beat this. Yes, dawg53, her breath is horrific! She has a hard...

    I forgot about aquarium meds being the same with no Rx. I'm heading over to an aquarium shop now!

    Thanks, because I was just at 2 TSCs, two local feed stores, at my vet now and they won't, called an avian vet and they don't see chickens. Do you need an RX from those web sites or can I just order? Thanks

    Not eating, shakes head, gasps occasionally

    Thank you. There are no other lesions. The reason I was thinking Wet Pox is because we are in central Florida and have tons of mosquitoes. Canker, from what I read is from doves and pigeons feeding in their food, but that isn't happening. We only have the two chickens. This one's coop mate has...

    This is what's happening. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Not eating, shakes head, gasps occasionally

    Sorry, I haven't been able to get back to you. Lillian is worse and I believe she has wet pox. I looked at previous forums and articles about it, trying to determine what is going on. Tonight I was able to get a better look inside her mouth. She has a large growth along the bottom of her mouth...

    Fat bellied 1 yr leghorn with xrays

    I'm not a vet, but I was an x-ray tech. In my unofficial opinion, I don't see broken egg shells, the colon looks empty. Her abdomen looks very distended, you said her abdomen feels like a water balloon... Does she have difficulty breathing? It looks like a lot between the vertebrae and the...

    Oh, OK, thanks. That won't be happening.

    Not eating, shakes head, gasps occasionally

    Hello! Unfortunately, my first post is about a sick chick. I have an adult hen, maybe a Bluebelle, I don't know how old she is because she is a rescue. Her rescue mate is not showing any symptoms. Anywho, for 3 days now Lillian doesn't want to eat her favorite foods, she shakes her head like...

    Greetings from Central Florida!

    Yes, I will be exploring chicken math more once the main coop is complete!

    Greetings from Central Florida!

    I have been visiting for a while, guess it's time to be official. We are relatively new to Florida. We have 12 acres and want to have a small farm type setup. I started with bees, and then adopted two chickens from Hurricane Irma...Dorothy and Lillian in my profile picture. A few days ago we...
