So sorry you lost her. :hugs Necropsies are always helpful, especially if you have a place that can do them for you. You could also try doing one yourself, but I can understand why you might not want to. Again, sorry for your loss. -Kathy

50 mg once a day for five days is what I would give her. Mixing it in water is fine, or you could give it orally. Five days are needed to treat capillary worms in birds. -Kathy

Look for fenbendazole, albendazole or any *wormer* that ends in "zole". Any dog, cat, rabbit, goat, horse or cattle product that ends in zole will work if the correct amount is given. Any poop yet? -Kathy

You might want to get something like Safeguard or Valbazen. What country are you in? -Kathy

How is she? -Kathy

Some people call it DSS. -Kathy

You got all the letters right, that's a brand name. OP is not in US, so I thought I should say what the active ingredient was. :D -Kathy

It's the stool softener docusate. Probably won't hurt to give it with fluids. What dewormer do you have? -Kathy

Very important to give fluids again 60-90 minutes after initial treatment. -Kathy

Did the 30 ml loosen up the mass in her crop? -Kathy

Heat and hydration can be done 24/7. No need to wait until it wakes. -Kathy

Tubing is much easier. You could add a lttle sugar to he water, but I wouldn't give vitamins until her crop starts to clear. -Kathy

X2. Best to start with just fluids. A hen her size I would start with 30 ml, massage crop a little, then tube more fluids if the crop doesn't feel too full. Wait 60-90 minutes and tube fluids again if the majority of fluids have cleared the crop. What country do you live in? And what wormer do...
