Again, thanks for all the information and directions. They truly are appreciated and so clear.
My daughter is a HS senior in AP biology. She and her teacher have done them for me before, so I may go that route
I'm hoping casportpony reads this and replies...I have no idea other than vitamin deficiency. Not sure corid it right either. I always hear to look for bloody poop before starting that. I'm sorry and hope you can get some answers to help your little girl...
Well....I lost her during the night. I'm afraid she was already shutting down. However, I learned a lot and tried my best, so it was not in vain. She was warm, had lived a few happy years with me, felt safe and relaxed with me stroking her back when it happened...could have been worse.
In the...
Ok, it was just a little reflux, but I will cut back some next time. She seems more comfortable now after a few more mins. passed, so she is probably digesting and has gotten some of the excess air out too. She's inside and warm :) Thanks for getting back to me and for all your guidance. Should...
Ok, I did my first tube feeding! It went well. I gave about 40-45ml. She took in on her own, about 35-40ml at one time yesterday. She did well but seems to have a lot of GI distress and some reflux was brought back up after a couple mins, but she had layed down and was putting pressure on her...
I should wait to worm her after she's better and not getting penicillin though, right?
To tube feed, I will have to force her beak open and slowly plunger it in, right?
I will be worming her and the others. I've hear diamataceous earth is good...any opinions?
Penny is still quite lethargic. She's drinking and pecking a bit at food, but I wouldn't call it eating. When she does drink, there are very loud and bizzare sounds comming from her like her "stomach" is...
The gurgling is mostly just after she takes a drink...like there's air getting in, but a little when she's just breathing too.
I went to a farm store before seeing the last post, and ended up with penicillin as the Tylan50 was marked cattle and swine. I pulled up penicillin online and saw it was...

I've had her for a couple years on this property. No worming schedule. Don't see signs of mites. Weight doesn't seem affected much if any, but hasn't been eating much for a few days. Comb is a little pale, but not too bad.
There do seem to be some swallowing issues and some gurgling sounds. If...
Penny is an older RIR around 3-4 years old. She and her sister joined my flock after they had been laying for a little while but I was told they were fairly young, so I'm guessing on the age. Recently she is withdrawn and stopped eating much, her crop was full but soft and malleable and I did...
