4.5 yo Orpington Still Struggling

[micstrachan]

I just gave her the warm Pedialyte. That was so much easier than I expected. I set the time for an hour for her next round.

Well done!!!

1719 gms today with an empty crop. That's up, but I'm wondering it I weighed he accurately.

I'm starting with 25 mL today, but I'll check her crop. If it's not full, I'll try more in a few hours.

She's standing this morning, but her tail is down.

Keep offering her a mash and some scrambled egg.

She's eating mash as I type.

How often should I hydrate her with the Pedialyte? Or water?

Is she drinking decently?

Is she drinking decently?

Not really. I think I need to get a better waterer in there. She lays down most of the time, so I need it to be more accessible. The one I have in there is just a ramekin, but I think the sides are too tall for it to be comfortable for her.

If she's not drinking enough, refer to @casportpony's thread for how much water they need a day. I was told that once they're hydrated, the formula counts as water too.

I'm assuming because it's so soupy.

I'm on it!

She does seem perkier today.
