911 chicken very sick

[Chandlerharris]

I just went out to find my 9 month old bantam pullet on the roost breathing quickly and eyes closed. Almost unresponsive but not quite. I checked her over totally and all I can find is her bottom area between her legs and up towards her vent is very swollen feeling. I felt around for an egg and felt no hard mass it’s just very squishy with fluid ??? and blown up feeling. Anyone have any idea? She seems like she won’t last the night. I currently have her tucked in a nesting box.

That sounds like a reproductive infection. You can try an oral antibiotic. I would. It could help. Sometimes it won't if the infection is too established. Look online for Fish mox.

TSC should have fish mox, also called FishBiotic. Get the 250 mg if you can. 500 should work, although you will probably have to split it.

It’s technically amoxicillin.

Not seeing that in stock online at my TSC anything else?

Are you looking online? There might be a pet rx thing that you click on and then search.

This is what it looks like for me. You should be able to click the red bar at the top and then search for the amoxicillin.

It should be "fish mox" online (at least it is for me) but in store it was FishBiotic
