10 weeks/ sick lethargic

[Kiki]

I have a nipple waterer too so I’d put both in there. Maybe some rest will do him good I have a large food thing too. I feel more settled with this decision. Just have to decide if inside or porch is better

Are you sure he is getting enough water with the nipple waterer?

Are you sure he is getting enough water with the nipple waterer?

No I think he prefers the normal waterer. I have both right now available for him in his hospital cage. So if for some reason the waterer gets dumped on vacation he will have the nipple one too. I have a huge 3 gallon waterer too I could always put in the trough instead..I just want him to have enough room and not sit in his poop once I get it put together I’ll see how much moving room there is big obviously the more food and water the better!

This is how he’s looking today. Still sitting on his hocks. Not puffy, still shaking a little and his left side is weaker and his wing drops a little on that side. Overall poop looks good! I worked today and work tomorrow. The weather next week is rain every day! Average temp 68 degrees. Our house is also set at 68. I don’t want to leave him and have him stuck in the rain. I’ll have to fashion some type of nesting box? Maybe a perch?

Today’s poop was a little bloody but solid. Intestinal lining poop? I sure hope I know it’s hard to tell from the picture

How much Corid are you using?
(I forget) and what day are you on?


I'm wondering if he is drinking enough water to actually be getting enough Corid in his body.

I did a corid drench for 5 days so last day was Monday and when I was doing the drench I also put in his water. Now I’ve just been putting in his water. I’ve been using the bottom part of a chick waterer and since it’s a small amount of water I’m putting about 3mls in about 120 mls. So the poop is concerning? I was hoping not. He’s feistier everyday and now flaps wildly when I’m putting him back in the cage. I’m moving him to the water trough tonight or tomorrow morning. More room so maybe he will move around more.

The poop picture is too blurry to see well.

Ignore this for now. I'm trying to do some math

 

[Jjdesmo11]

Got the hardware cloth and added a 3 gallon waterer for him. He’s still weak and wobbly and I’m worried being outside is hot and stressful with all the noise but he should be safe and has ample water and I hope ample food. Prayers he makes it through the week. Thanks for all the help. Sadly no beach chicken Haha but pretty sure it would be stressful and loud with all the kids.

Looks good.
Enjoy the beach!
