    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Hey everyone, so it’s now been a full 5 days since the incident so I figured I’ve give a little update. Although my fiancé was giving me crap for spending so much on them, they seem to have made almost a full recovery and are back in the coupe doing great ! I say “almost” meaning the hen who was...

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Will do. So they gave me a steep estimate which would involve a catheter, injections, and keeping them here to watch over them. To be honest I don’t have that kind of money. And the vet really didn’t seem to optimistic about a solid answer. So I asked for the injections (calcium vitamin A & D)...

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    No not yet. I even tried giving some meal worms to them which they usually go crazy over. The only water they’ve had was what I gave them in the syringe. Was charged a $300 deposit to get them looked at so I’m hoping we get some sort of closure at least.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Ok they made it through the night. The one that was in worse shape seemed to be doing slightly better, holding her head up today. So now I’m at the vet and they are basically telling me they’re not sure what course of action to take seeing as there’s not really a test they can run to verify the...

    If she makes it through the night I am going to research for one around me.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Definitely does resemble them. Light in color, real small. Those little bastards.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Just unsure if I should be giving her molasses or if that would harm her more than she is already, or possibly make the vitamins in her water pointless. She is still really weak and can not really hold her head up.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    I watched her eat one today, was going to stop her and my fiancé said it was fine lol. She first pecked it a few times until it stopped moving then she ate it. These two follow each other around the yard everywhere so whatever they got into ofc they both got.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    I just wish I knew what it was to prevent any future issues. So is it only if a scorpion stings them they can be toxic? If they were poisonous and ate them is that okay?

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Wow that’s interesting. All of the ones I see around here are small light and have small pincers. And they definitely ate a couple today. Those little pricks I hate them. I’ve been slowly giving her molasses in small amounts I just am scared of feeding to much and having her breathe some in.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    That’s my biggest worry is to mistreat them. One has her head up and still panting the other is just laid out looks to be on her last leg. While cleaning out the coupe we did find some white fungi/mold under a cabinet we had in there. We cleaned it immediately, but they were kind of roaming...

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Hmm ok. Was just a guess since they both kind of went down at the same time. Any ideas what it might be? They started walking around sort of like they were drunk then like a weird sort of squeaking squawk. Seems as if it’s slowly getting worse. I have them isolated from the others and in a...

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Currently my one hen does not want to even open her mouth let alone hold up her head to take the syringe of water. The other is holding her head up and kind of takes the water. I read something about giving molasses to flush their system. :(

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Maybe about a minute or so. Currently both hold their heads up. One of them pooped in my lap, was solid and with a white cap. The other has not yet, however seems she has a little more energy. They seem to be breathing, just more like panting through their mouth.

    Possible scorpion poisoning/paralyzed hens

    Hi we live in Las Vegas and just a few hours ago our beautiful girls started squawking like I’ve never heard. Shortly after they both kind of passed out. Not sure how poisonous they are, but I watched them eat a scorpion or two while cleaning the coupe out. So far we’ve given them some water w...
