Im very sorry about your hen. We have had some like this too, thinking they were egg bound and they actually had water belly. What we did was drain them to help them feel more comfortable. You mentioned in your post that she’s swollen, has that swelling gone down with the antibiotic? If not it...
Good Evening,
I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out what could be wrong with my hen. She is about 2-3 years old, and hasn't had any problems until recently. The first thing we had noticed was she was limping suddenly so we treated her for mites, along with the other hens...
Thank you!!
I'm going to purchase it now. Did you give in water or inject them?
On the website it states that I should give probiotic and a liver support after this antibiotics. Do you think that would be necessary ?
she is walking around but you can tell she is having difficulty and very uncomfortable. I have notice she is having difficulty breathing or breathing harder than usual. She is not lethargic. I'm so bummed out. If I do have to put her down, I don't want to do it until I have exhausted all my...
I checked for an egg and nothing is there, no stuck egg. Her crop is not full but not empty I seen her grazing and I also did see her drinking water. Her lower belly is very enlarged, red and firm. Her poop is white with some green small bits of poop.
Thank you!
I was finally able to get to her. I will be checking in just a few. I need help because of my surgery. But this hen actually stop laying eggs about a year ago. She is about 6 years old. I thought it was old age. I will check and will let me know soon.
Hi!
Just wanted to say thank you again!
My hen is back to normal doing everything you advice me to do.
Sorry didn't keep you posted sooner. I had surgery and in recovery. Now I'm back home and a nother chicken is sick but I'm about 99% sure she is egg bound :(
They don't have the Tylan at the tractor store near me in norco,.ca.
Can I use the amoxicillin instead. They are tablets I would need to crush up. But how would I be able to feed it to her of she doesn't want to eat?
Thank you so, so much
