911 help sick chicken

[OhioChickenChoreLady]

All chickens have parasites to a certain degree, have you ever wormed her?

i have not, what do i need for that? i didn't see any worms, all of my other chickens are fine as well. its wracking my brain ugh poor girl I'm trying to upload a pic

I'm sorry, it sounds like heat stroke or some sort of circulation problem .
Can she stand? Walk?
Keep her on a wet mash and try to rehydrate her.

We're surrounded on three sides by farm fields so know what you mean about the smell. It doesn't harm our silkies who sometimes venture in there on searches for bugs.

On the off-chance she's egg-bound, I'd give her a calcium or Tums. Just open her beak and pop it in. I just gave a Tums to a hen I don't know what's wrong with too, as it was higher than the calcium I had (500 mg vs 300 mg).

Being egg-bound is fatal if they don't expel the egg, so I'd at least eliminate that being the issue. You can give her another tomorrow too.

I hope she turns around and gets better!

here is a video, of how shes acting, dont mind my garage i have to clean it from yesterday. shes isolated herself in there

Is her abdomen distended and hard?

 

[Shelleyfitz]

Can you feel any food in her crop or is her crop spongy like a balloon?

it felt fine when i bathed her, her skin looked great, ill have to check here in a little bit

 

[Shelleyfitz]

If her crop feels like a water balloon, she may be crop bound. If that's the case, you could use some cooking oil (little bit) orally and see if you can get the blockage to move through. You could also try some baking soda and water to try to neutralize the fermenting and then try to move things along. If her abdomen is distended, she could have egg yolk peritonitis. Just trying to think of things it might be. Has she been coughing or sneezing lately? If so, it could also be respiratory.

no I haven't I looked for the right stuff at tractor supply and i ended up with a bag of pellet food with something to help her guts and intestines, and powder for her water. is it helping? idk doesn't seem like it and she wont eat the pellets. will flock 911 work????

You're going to want liquid valbzen for goats, and dose by weight.
Recover 911 isn't a wormer but electrolytes .
Have you tried the calcium?
I apologize if this has been asked , how old is she and what has her diet been up till now?

3 year old Plymouth rock, she has been laying around, with a pale comb, runny white poop almost clear, and closing her eyes. now she has isolated herself, only at night and now during the day.

she closes her eyes and opens her mouth then closes it. i don't know the last time she laid since they are free range.

gave her some antibiotics and a little ib prophane (i didn't have Tylenol) she has been this way going on ten days. I've spent 200$ on fruits, apple cider vinegar, worms, new bedding, mite begone, special food and probiotics and electrolytes. Shes super sweet I love her, her name is Ruby.

I'm sorry she's not well.

At 3 and not having laid eggs for a while, I would suspect that she may have some type of reproductive issue going on. Could be something with the liver or some other organ dysfunction, it can be hard to know.

I would try the Extra Calcium as suggested. Give 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily right into the beak for 5days.

Cut out the vinegar and focus on her eating her normal feed as much as possible.

You're giving some antibiotics - what are you giving, the dosage and duration?

You are treating for lice/mites? Do you see bugs on her?

Check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. IF the crop has not emptied, then address that symptom according to the article linked below. If you find that she does need some oil, give chilled coconut oil instead of liquid oil which is easily aspirated.

Photos of the poop? Worms can sometimes cause some health issues if there's an infestation.

Fenbendazole or Albendazole are both good dewormers to use. Dosing is below.
