Thank you so much, this will be my fourth chicken that has passed this year (note to self: do not get the sickest looking tractor supply chickens) but im just glad I’m able to make her comfortable while she passes.

haha my mom would never let me. i wish tho. i will give her until friday before i cull, i’ll put her out with her sisters on thursday so she gets some last time with them. i wish there was a way for me to put her out of her misery, i’ve seen people use tylenol, might try that, if not my dad...

think i’m going to let her go, she was a really good chicken but there’s not much more i CAN do at this point. small intestine is completely blocked, i’m not sure i feel comfortable mixing something that very clearly says “external use only” and feeding it to her, she hasn’t layed, nothing is...

fluid is also leaking from her mouth again, telling me her sour crop has returned

it’s in the area where the small intestine would be

ok so i’ve got her eating mash, but her crop still isn’t emptying, also slight problem, in feeling her abdomen the sides of it are hard like there’s bones there. i can’t tell if this is because she has lost a lot of weight or something else but it is concerning. it feels like one longer...

Could i just boil and mash some carrots with salt? Seems pretty similar with less time

i’ve come to the conclusion that she is probably starving because of her condition, so my number one priority should be stopping that. i’m going to give her the lowest enrofloxin dose i can, and tube feed her some sugar water because she needs to get her strength up. after that i’ve done all i...

I feel it is important to mention that my birds have already been through a bout of Cocci in May, one of my birds passed for it but i managed to get a fecal float and treat the rest. I know that this can predispose them to enteritis i am most worried not that the bacterial infection will not...

Update: we found an avian anti biotic at Walmart? says it’s intended for birds and can be used to treat digestive infections. Going to pick it up tomorrow and give it one last shot. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Morning-Bird-Enrotex-Antibiotic-Formula-for-Birds/654707015 edit: goodness i feel...

closest vet is an hour away, last time i got an app plus fecal float test and it was 225 dollars and the chicken died 48 hours later. then i went to an animal hospital the next time one of our girls got sick and we waited until 4am having come there at 7 and the chicken also died. i really wish...

@Banana01 @Eggcessive @ChickenLeg any ideas, getting a little desperate since it’s been a few days and she’s now plateaued

whelp, she’s not much better and not much worse. eating, a little bigger stools, but still pretty small. gave her the recommended probiotic, as well as some ACV. i poked around online and found that Bacitracin could be helpful? should i give it a shot? seems strange because most packages say...

she seems alert, my biggest problem is that she is just refusing to eat. what’s left in her crop feels like grit and water i should mention

eh, i think my parents are tired of me dragging what would be the fourth sick chicken to the vet. might try corid, i just worry that she’s still in the withdrawal period from the goat dewormer

it is the same chicken, her crop was hard and small, now it is small and wattery. i’ve been giving her apple cider vinegar, monostat, and sour cream (no yogurt) could i treat for worms again in 10 days? how long until i can treat for codociccous or however you spell it

I’ve had my adorable chicken “duck” for a year and 6 months now. recently she started getting fluffed up, losing weight, and had a crop that wouldn’t empty. i immediately treated for worms, and sour crop as it developed into thst. she was recovering and so i put her back with her sisters for a...
