Acute growth on hens neck

Eating and drinking on her own is better.
Hopefully you can release a bit more air and it will resolve.

Air was released by itself today, here's a picture of her clavicle area. Looks like a bruise. Other side is beige.

Did you apply some antibiotic ointment on it? If not, it would be wise.

I will! She feels worse today. Very lethargic should I give her an Epsom salt bath?

Can you tell if she's got bruising anywhere else?

If she's very lethargic, then no, I would not give her a soak or bath, this may send her over the edge.

There's a couple of little ones near her crop. I've been trying to keep her hydrated, she's perkier today. But doesn't have much strength to stand, good news is her lump is almost gone.

She still fights me when I force feed her,. I'm guessing that's a good sign.

She's very weak. She drank on her own yesterday, I still had to force feed her.

She had much better poops last night. One looked almost normal, her crop feels better today too.

I had to deflate the air sac again last night.

Continue with the antibiotic.

Continue with the antibiotic.

I haven't stopped. Force fed her this morning, have been giving her nutri drench straight and then also giving her water.
