    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    Thanks. Apparently she had a tumor and lots of liquid in her belly that wasn’t ascites. She was four and had a happy life.

    Thank so much. Your advice helped me immensely. I looked forward to your replies as well as everyone else’s input. I felt less alone, helpless, and lost with this golden fluffy chicken who softly chirped at me when I was with her. I had never before witnessed a soft sound from that little lady...

    Hahaha. Mr 8p fox and family 🦊 would love that. Maybe when my life normalizes a bit. Things are too topsy turvy at the moment. When I settle somewhere- I will definitely consider it.

    Final update. Owner took chicken to vet who said there is a lot of fluid in her belly and it is probably a tumor. It is odd to me that there was No mention of the black stuff and wound. The chicken was euthanized because the prognosis was maybe a month to live with a lot of TLC. So sad, but with...

    She is not eating or drinking normally. I could feel her clavicle and see it stick out when I tried to lay her down on her back yesterday. She stands alert and grooms herself a bit. But she is not yet responding to warm eggs. I worry there are maggots inside her under all the black stuff. I...

    So sorry for your loss. It is so hard to put all your energy into something and not know the results. But I do believe in trying. I think there is something to trying and giving something your all. It is a process and a learning experience. Sometimes I think I have watched too many tv...

    My hope is to try all home care methods. My friend doesn’t know how to cull a chicken. I am sure there is an article or link somewhere. I couldn’t do it at this stage. Or he could ask the vet to cull if vets do such a thing? I am going to buy some of the items you suggested. If I were to find...

    I am going to the negative side after the past two phone conversations.

    I know her owner won’t pay for surgery if an X-ray is $100 and the ER vet visit is $106. Do you still think I should go buy some of those items and try what you suggested?

    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    I am so bummed. I had hope. Another person from the state poultry vet extension said she needs surgery to remove the necrotic tissue around the vent. I called a bunch of vets and no one has an emergency open and a vet that actually got on the phone told me I was wasting my time on a dying 4 year...

    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    After the bath I poured some very diluted p-iodine over the area. I stopped looking -debriding (am I spelling that right?) here -{see attached photo}-and put on a bunch of triple antibiotic ointment after a little blow dry to the area to get the feathers out of the way. Crossing my fingers. I...

    Ok. Help! I tried debriding and I uncovered something I am worried about. A deep gash to her insides. Should I buy liquid bandaid? Or gauze and tape it back up? I don’t know if you can see it? But you might get the gist.

    Bird has a black bottom and protrusion below the vent. I can’t tell if it a scab or dried poop. Can anyone advise?

    I am about to do soak 3. The debriding hasn’t been going so well with using a rag to gently rub it off. I wonder if I should place a bandage over the ointment to help soften the black stuff? Or will that be bad in case there are left over maggot eggs in the black stuff? Is that even possible...

    That link is great with the video. I did nothing like that. Lol. She was against my chest but I didn’t tilt her head. I simply put the syringe to the side of her beak til she seemed to move the upper and lower beak lips to hopefully swallow.

    I did the syringe as best I could with some electrolytes and probiotics (I didn’t do the gallon and the package mix. I just peppered a bit of the package’s contents in a jar and put that in a 12 ml syringe). I think 10ml went inside. I didn’t feel the water anywhere else. I heard her stomach or...

    It was hard to get them in focus - I am not an expert bird handler. She is getting more feisty than before. I think that is a good sign.

    I will try to take a photo of the bottom of her feet.m soon. Her feet did get a good soaking with the two epsom salt baths. I have to leave here soon and return to my house.

    Thanks. I wasn’t holding her when I tried the syringe at the side of her beak.

    Both foot pads have a black dot on the bottom arch or foot area before claws (does a chicken have an arch?). I think it is more her leg. also is normal to feel the front bone of the chest in a chicken?

    Update. Goldie is standing in one spot looking around. She is pooping a little more solids today though there is a mucus on top of the brown but. She isn’t really eating or drinking. I tried placing a dropper of water by her beak but she kept turning her head away. She is pecking the deck right...
