    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Ah-I see. Makes sense! I brought her to the vet today. She has lost 1.5 lb in just a few days. They said there is indefinitely something wrong with theWe aren’t able to do bloodwork and xray as they recommended because it’s nearly $800 😭 but we opted to have them treat her with some medications...

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Thanks so much for your response. I’ll keep a close eye and keep her on the crumbled feed and maybe tube feed to supplement for a few more days until she starts eating more on her own. Just curious-what makes you think it’s not sour crop? Or is it just that I should give more time before...

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Will keep trying different food options and stop the worm medication. This morning I felt her crop and it still had fluid in it, so now I’m thinking there is something else going on there. I can’t feel anything else but fluid but I’m not sure what to be looking for. Since her crop didn’t...

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Thank you so much. Will check her crop in the morning and try with treats again tomorrow and will also keep tube feeding. Should I continue the dewormer past the 5 days or stop after 5? She hasn’t shown any interest in eggs, mealworms, wet feed, etc. haven’t tried the beef liver...

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Would it be likely the other birds would also get sick from it? I know that’s crazy but it’s very difficult for me to give the medicine and to have to treat 9 birds for 5 days we are on day 4 on the roundworm treatment and she isn’t improving. The worms seem to be gone from her poop but it’s...

    Thank you! Any idea how long it takes to see improvement?

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    Thank you! I think I have the right dosage because she is 4 lbs so .25ml per pound would be 1 ml for her daily. I’m terrible at administering medicine because I find it really hard to do by myself. I just hold her and drip it on her beak one drop at a time and she basically swallows it once she...

    Need help identifying and treating worms in sick chicken!

    We have a sick chicken (our sweet Olive Egger) that stopped laying eggs a few days ago and I noticed she wasn’t eating or drinking much. I also saw a few small thin worms in her poop. I started her on safeguard yesterday. She gets 1ml per day. She is doing on day two and pooped a bunch more...

    16 week old hen sick again-is it yeast? Or something else?

    Our 16 week old Swedish Flower hen is sick again. She is started to fluff up and act tired, has had watery diarrhea with some spots of blood. No sign of crop issues yet. Still eating and drinking. Best picture I could get of poop: 2 months ago she stopped eating and drinking and developed a...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    Just getting home from the vet. No cocci or other infection present in stool but vet said to continue treatment of corid till course is finished. LOTS of yeast present which they gave us nystatin to treat. I am going to syringe feed her the medicine 2x per day. She said that may or may not be...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    Thank you. I was able to read through those articles. And may try the oil later today. She had an even bloodier poop this morning after eating. With mucus. Seems like over night and towards the end of the day her poops are more normal looking. She is almost totally normal in the morning, eats...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    Thank you! I tried yesterday again and they won’t do one for us because they don’t see chickens. I did reach out to another vet that seems like they may do birds so fingers crossed they can and it’s not too expensive. On another note I think she may have a slightly impacted crop. This morning...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    We started noticing around 4-5 weeks she was slower growing and eventually became the smallest bird…by a larger margin now.

    So after her morning of normal poops, she stopped eating and drinking And then she just did this poop this afternoon.😥 I had just given her 3ml of corid water and she pooped like this shortly after. She hadn’t eaten in a while. I’m trying to encourage her to eat now. She is nibbling on some...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    This is her this morning. She does well in the mornings. Eats, drinks and acting almost 100%, but within a few hours she seems back to not eating or drinking much. This is her poop this morning. Back to normal I think! Yay. This was her poop on Saturday. This is how she is a few hours...

    Cocci or malnutrition?

    Need help with diagnosing our 8 week old chick sick symptoms! I posted this past Friday about her lethargy and lack of eating and drinking. [New to this group so I’m not sure how to link the prior post! ] She puffs herself up and sleeps a lot. She also had mucus poops. We were able to get CORID...

    Help! 8 week old chick stopped eating and drinking!

    Just seeing this after I wrote my last post asking about giving her the corid directly! If I have the 9.6% solution-not the powder—do you happen to know the dose for that I can give her to give her a boost in addition to the corid in the water? I tried dipping her beak in the corid water but...

    Help! 8 week old chick stopped eating and drinking!

    Thanks for checking in! She stopped drinking today but is eating ok. I started giving her the corid water by dropping it on her beak and then she gets little drops at a time. She seems a little more lethargic again today but still has moments where she gets up to forage with her friends or eat...
