3 month pullet sleeping & lethargy

[KemahBYC]

There are some things that can be given with Corid and some that cannot, so I'm not sure. I'll tag the experts. @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive

Thank you!

If you strongly suspect coccidiosis and you've done the first round of the five-day treatment and the chicken is still acting sick, then she may have a secondary infection in the intestines. The best antibiotic to use for coccidia caused infections in a sulfa antibiotic, and you will probably do best to get it from a vet. If you live where there are a lot of pet stores, a pigeon supply shop would sell pigeon sulfa. Get that if you can. The other alternative is to order it online but it may take too long to get that way. But you can order it here. https://jedds.com/products/trimethoprin-sulfa-medpet?_pos=1&_sid=83dcb7a2a&_ss=r

I don’t know what is wrong with her other than she fluffs up and sleeps standing up. She has some very normal behavior then goes to sleep standing up.

She is also due for the 2nd dose of Ivermectin on Tuesday.

What's the Ivermectin for?

Photos of her poop?

I'd try the sulfa drugs as @azygous mentioned.

Do check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

Why are you dosing with Ivermectin? I'm just curious.
Remember, you need to be very careful dosing Ivermectin with chickens. Make sure your accurately dosing according to the chickens weight or you could have a deadly result.

Ivermectin for worms. The dose was drawn up and given to us by the “chicken lady” where we got our hens.

Crop seemed empty this morning. No bulges or hard spots from her beak down to her breast. Her poop seems pretty normal.

Ordered some sulfa antibiotic this morning. Hoping it gets here soon!

Should I take her off corid and try poultry cell until the sulfa arrives?

 

[azygous]

If she hasn't completed the second five days of Corid, she needs to finish. This will kill any eggs that hatched since the first Corid round. Poultry cell is just vitamins but should not be given until her second round of Corid is completed.
