So he's not shooting in the dark with chickens which is great. And your poor guy has a bunch going on which is not.

Do we know the treatment of canker? I'm going to look it up after I feed the kids and see if maybe he's thinking fungal too. Does your vet see a lot of birds? Not questioning his training, just wondering.

That's why I asked if their was a swab taken. I just read a bunch of stuff about upper respiratory fungal infections in poultry and the symptoms if present include gasping, gaping and head shaking scratching, and maybe noise while breathing.

Gotcha, I'm glad you know what's going on with him. From what I near gape is something very hard to get rid of so it may take multiple wormings

With a bit of water to help it stick?

Depending on the form its in... I put paste on a piece of bread and gave it to each of them.

Is it a liquid or paste?

Fenbendazole 10% equine wormer.

Came across your other post, will the vet treat your whole flock or is it a wait for symptom and bring them in kind of deal?

So it is gapeworm? Sometimes your posts require a bit of reader translation so I want to make sure I understand.

So you don't plan on having a chicken dinner? Kidding.

At least the vet will see him tomorrow. Good luck.

Just read he's bad again. Did you test him? Is he back in general population?

Tested negative for gape. Wormed evwryone. Lots of energy and bright red face today. In fact, everyone is more chipper today.

Good to hear.

Please keep me posted, I'm rooting for him.

What's your treatment plan?

I'm a massage therapist and I have lots of silly animals and kids.observe and report is my motto. Take a deep breath and do the best you can, its all you can do. If he makes it through the night in this order do the test decide results and treat. If it is gape treat the whole flock. If you...

Electrolyte solution, if you have any sports drinks on hand that's what gatorade is. I honestly don't know what to tell you. Do the test for gape and then if its negative treat for a respiratory infection with a broad spectrum antibiotic and hope that helps but if its poisoning then you may not...

Gatorade. Yogurt, oatmeal. No fan. As ling as your house isn't above 80 degrees farenheit, I'm thinking yea good.
