thanks for getting back to me, I'll try to get some in the morning

Hi All, I'm hoping to get some advice from one or more of you knowledgeable lot! About two weeks ago, I noticed my pet chicken Indie looked wasn't holding both her eyes fully open, she looked a bit angry. She and my other chicken have confirmed mycoplasma (mg), my initial thought was that her...

thanks for sharing this, sounds like a very rare case... it's hard to fully understand what was going on with her what with all the scientific language but sounds like some food was found trapped between her throat and crop? potentially they weren't connected in the way they should have been?

sounds like it's not ascites/waterbelly... the link @Fluffy_Feathers posted above about another chicken with confirmed hernia was an interesting read... sounds very similar to what you're describing

Has it grown in size since you first noticed it? And what does it feel like? Does it feel full of fluid?

sorry to hear she didnt make it... you did well to get her to a vet and put as much effort into helping her as you did. If you do end up getting a necropsy done, let us know what the results are

hmmm, but she was not well before you started to administer corid right? either way, at this point shes due to finish the corid treatment anyway. The regurgitation would mean her crop would be near full with liquid for some to come back up when you picked her up... I'm wondering if she had some...

hey - I'm new to your thread. A few weeks ago I had two 10 week old chicks with coccidiosis, both has very obvious blood in their poops, it got significantly worse with time. They both recovered and are doing well now. I wanted to add that I think you're right to question whether this could be...

one of my girls has had a secondary infection like this before, it does sound awful, it cleared up with doxycycline antibiotic, it took two days to take effect - you'd have to act quickly on getting access to it

I'm based in the UK, I had a vet do a blood test on my chicken for mycoplasma, they sent it off to a lab to check for antibodies, cost me around £40. Not sure whether this test would work if your birds have been vaccinated as theyd already have the antibodies from that. Theres also a swab test...

If I had a chicken with suspected coccidiosis or suspected worms and I had no access to the medication required, I would look up natural remedies for these two things and add that to their water. Do your own google research, as far as I'm aware, garlic, oregano, turmeric, are all supposed to be...

Ask your parents if theyd be concerned enough to take you to a doctor or get you some medicine if you started regularly pooping blood... or if theyd wait for your condition to deteriorate? I'm probably not the best person to ask when it comes to how to deal with parents... far too much sass!

definitely treat her for coccidiosis asap, the intestinal shedding in that one poop looks quite bad. my chicks had confirmed by a vet coccidiosis, their poops looked very similar to your first pic, and not every poop they did had the intestinal shedding in but it was in progressively more of...

that's pretty bad diarrhoea, near to no 'food poop' in it, she probably hasn't been eating much for a while I'm guessing? You said her crop is full considering shes not eating much, has it been emptying overnight? Because she has bad diarrhoea, you need to keep her hydrated, anything you can...

I'm sorry to hear that...

Prices do rack up with exotic vets, mainly because of their consultation fees, I cant see it doing any harm, if they're all living together its probably best to treat them all

I'm in the UK, are you US? Itll probably vary a bit but in the UK I bought Harkers Coxoid, cost around £15, that's a med that goes in their water for a week. I didnt end up using it, in the end I used vet prescribed baycox, cost around £20 (I got the entire bottle, far more than I needed, I have...

hows she doing now?

I've lost two of my chickens in the past month, to something unrelated to coccidia. They both ended up in a bad way before a decision was made to euthanize them. If yours is getting the treatment she needs now I'd give her body a chance to respond to the medication, keep her warm and comfortable...

send them over if you want! I dont mind having a look!
