Americauna/8 months shaking head and puffed up

Glad to hear she has an appetite again.
How does her crop feel now that she is eating?

Do you think she might have an internal fungal condition? There is a webpage on Fungal Infections on the website linked in my sig below.

A fungal infection in her digestive tract could make her grow thin over the course of several months.

Sometimes birds get fungal problems in their crops, too, but I don't know as much about the effects of those...

Candy is doing great now. She has her appetite back and is putting weight back on. I was so upset. I thought I was gonna lose her. So did the vet. She didn't think Candy was going to make it. She did! Thank you all for your support, suggestions, and kind words!

For all those who were concerned for Candy.....she continues to surprise me. She is absolutely wonderful. She has gained much of her former weight. She is doing great.

Glad she is regaining her health. Good for you for sticking with her!

Hooray!!

So glad--especially since she is a particularly special hen to you.

ALL my hens are particularly special to me! Thank you for your good wishes! She continues to do great. I don't know how but I sure am grateful we didn't lose her!
