shock

I have a sapphire gem that had a severe vent prolapse and egg binding corrected with vet surgery yesterday afternoon. Since the procedure, she has seemed to be in shock from everything I have read. Lethargic, won’t move much, sleeping and breathing deeply. I have her in a large dog kennel in a...

Hello all. I am fairly new to chicken raising and could really use some advice. The other night, Saturday, while I was getting my chickens ready to go in their coop for the night, one (or possibly two) of my hens viciously attacked another one of my hens. I have two chicken species, Rhode Island...

Hello all, A while ago, my chickens and other poultry were being harassed by members of the canine group, and on three occasions I had come to find my birds in the drooling mouth of a dog and after chasing and rescuing my chicken from fate, I could clearly see they were in a shock. This is...

My hen fell in our swimming pool and was in there for almost an hour. I am in Florida, so it’s not very cold but definitely cool enough to cause hypothermia. She was floating when we found her, she seemed exhausted. We put her on a heating pad and put her in a box in a dark quiet room. She is...

I had this issue a while back and my bird made it through, he's now a healthy pet who will never go to freezer camp. Thought I'd share and help others in this emergency. Unbeknownst to me my juvenile turkeys were roosting on the edge of their water bucket because it was slightly higher than...

Long story short a bobcat attacked one of my hens. He grabbed onto her neck but my dad jumped out of the window and was able to get the bobcat to drop her and run off. There are no bad wounds, just some missing feathers and a little bit of blood but that is the extent of it. She is not acting...

Hi, I have a 2 year old silkie who was swooped by a magpie today and has caused an injury to her eye. Immediately after the attack she went into what I think is shock but it has now been over 6 hours and she is still laying in a basket of towels unresponsive. If I touch her she has what seems to...

Today one of my hens got attacked by a hawk or something, but I scared it away. She lost feathers on her back, but only one area seems to be injured, and it's not even bleeding. I put her in a separate cage, but when she was walking earlier, it seemed like each step was extremely heavy. Then she...

My rooster was attacked by another rooster, no injuries on the body but his head is in bad shape. Eyes are fine, however his comb is torn up and bleeding and missing most of his feathers on his head/neck area. I took him to an emergency vet immediately, however their exotic specialist was off...

(scroll to bottom if you dont want to read) So, I was with my mom and sister in our backyard taking care of our horse's hoof while my dad mowed the tall grass. All of our chickens were out running around and keeping from the mower.. (We have three coops and more than one rooster in each coop...

My baby rooster I think was attacked and when I went out to check on him was when he was attacked I think because he ran to me and I went to check what scared him but there was nothing, but afterwards he’s been really crazy? He runs into walls and runs around and stuff and he doesn’t recognize...

I don't normally free-range my flock, but with our warmer weather, I figured I could let them into our fenced garden to eat all the winter weeds. I tried to spend time out there with them as much as I could. On Sunday, we were inviting a couple friends over for a social distance backyard BBQ...

My banty rooster jumped into the yard with my dog. It did not end well for the rooster. He’s had quite a few feathers plucked and has a bite on his wing. I cleaned him up and doctored him with vetericyn. I now have him inside in a pet carrier with some water. I’m pretty sure he’s in shock...

My coturnix quail flew out of the cage and I found her on the floor all fluffed up, gasping and with a broken wing. I think she is in a shock so I put her back into the cage and put a hot water bottle next to her. What else should I do? Please help!

Just saw this story on Inside Edition. Pretty amazing! https://whdh.com/news/family-beloved-dog-survives-attack-after-electric-collar-zaps-coyote-in-mendon/

Last night, for the first time in 2 years, our gals (small backyard flock of four) didn't go up to roost for the night - we think because of the high gust winds they hid in the bushes. We have an automatic door on a timer and didn't see that they didn't go up roost until we heard what we thought...

My Wyandotte’s have been on the extreme side of being easily stressed. The first time we introduced new hens to the flock, the molted from stress and their feathers grew back brittle. They’re still brittle 2 years later. We’ve been giving them crumble per the vet to try and increase their...

The entire wing is gone. Most of its feathers are gone. This all happened around, I'd say, an hour ago. Maybe less than that. 10:20 AM or so, I believe. It's currently in shock right now. Opens its eyes a little bit but doesn't seem to register anything. Keep shivering and twitching. (By the...

I hate to make my appearance on this forum by introducing a sad situation but here goes. Last Saturday night, March 16, a predator, probably a fox, dug a hole under my shed, killed my duck and injured my drake. The drake's head and body seem fine but one leg seems injured. I took him to a vet...

My first time posting for help!!! I have found so much information here, it's great!! So, when I opened the coop as usual today at 7am to let the birds out, they all were excited as normal to get out, Rooster first, followed by the pullets, and two bit older bantam pullets. EXCEPT for one...
