Sh The surgeon won’t be in contact for another week or two. My general vet has an appt set for her on Tuesday to do a post op eval. (It will be 3.5wks at that point). When she was referred for surgery it was an emergency-whole my general vet does the implants she didn’t have time. They...

My 3yo faverolle Josephine just underwent emergency surgery to remove 5 eggs (1 stuck in oviduct but no signs of egg binding until X-rays) and part of her reproductive tract three weeks ago. The surgeon is on leave so I cannot ask but we think it was a salpingectomy? She laid an egg in my living...

My first and second group of birds were from hatcheries and vaccinated at birth. A cpl of broody hens hatched out eggs from two of these flock members (obviously I have a rooster). They aren’t vaccinated. Will turn 2yo this summer. Do not have Mareks.

Ordered. Hoping for the best. I was also told to try panacur…effective against worms of course and supposed to be helpful with giardia. I do have metronidazole but being an antibiotic I wanted to have more than a spitball reason. If no bug is there now could there have been one that cleared...

This was them at arrival…and 5wks later.

I’m frustrated. We’ve been in lockdown for winter storm heather and then indigo with arctic plunges. I posted on another thread about having received a juvenile pair of bantams in Dec that had been shedding intestinal lining since day1. The had been given a round of corid, a milk flush (per...

I’m frustrated. We’ve been in lockdown for winter storm heather and then indigo with arctic plunges. I thought the pair was doing better, some shedding but nothing crazy or scary looking. They run around acting like crazy birds eating drinking playing. The male loves to crow at the weather lady...

Did your pullet fully recover? And which did you use…stay with the corid of did you switch to the toltrazuril?

I posted on a few other forums and also as an alibi from another vet with one of my birds last year…meloxicam can cause/exacerbate GI issues like bleeding. I recal seeing spots like that on the patio one day. One of my older hens had been in the medication for several days after a fall and was...

They ran no tests beyond the fecal. Just parasites. They did say they could maybe send off a sample to a lab for better results but nothing was done att

Well the vet visit seemed ok-all the exotics were still on holiday leave. They ran fecals on both-fresh samples. They came back negative. They were both running a bit of a temp. Female 106 male 107 so they were sent home with meloxicam and enrofloxacin. The next morning make started to crow a...

This morning….droppings so far. The overnight are on paper towel in the middle and am on tissue along the side. Not as bad but there’s still weird blood colored jelly blobs in the cecal. I put a camera in but they sleep in a puppy pile so I can’t be positive whose it was. Still no crowing from...

Here’s the kicker. All this of course happened over holidays, the breeder after 10 days got back to me. First she said they were raised on wet mash and not dry food so after traveling and gorging it’s possible that was a factor. she also thought the pics looked like cocci and told me to do a...

This is pictures of the products the birds were raised on that I ordered to make a “smooth” transition. I didn’t know how big they’d be bug concur with the grit size. I was also worried about the additives in it-veg oil and lots of probiotic Latin. Possibly upset gut balance? I found a plain...

Oh to clarify I had seen worms with other animals in prior years all with negative tests…so my confidence in taking these guys in for the test is low. I’ve also gone to the trouble of bringing in birds with bloody droppings and had the vet refuse to do a fecal so…yeah.

How are your chicks? I just started a thread with a similar issue…

I can’t seem to upload video so here’s photos of them

Can someone help diagnose this mystery issue with my pair of new -indoor only pullet/cockerel? I have yet to hear anything from the breeder and I’m very worried. I ordered older birds specifically to avoid hatchery issues this time 😞 I ordered a mature pair of orpingtons bantams that arrived...

we have a lot of construction-farms and fields being bulldozed for hundreds of homes, townhomes, and strip malls. Less hunting grounds means more arial predators. A young hawk tried for my maran few years back. Missed, traumatized her and her witnessing flockmates. Lost my sentinel hen and 2...

Perhaps post an ad about the abandoned flock. I’ve seen such [terrible] things on Facebook forums for chickens. It’s sad but frequent people will get an animal then get bored with it/overwhelmed with the work or my personal favorite…move and just leave the animals behind/dump them. It happens...
