It's been rough the past few days. Between losing 3 of last month's chicks, and now a sick pullet, I'm losing my mind.
Anyhow, the afflicted little girl has been feeling quite poorly since Sunday....unfortunately, it took me until yesterday to possibly pinpoint her illness. White discharge from vent, crusted behind, foul odor, lethargy, and lack of appetite seem to point to vent gleet, right? Yogurt/ACV haven't made a vast difference thus far. Her condition seems to be worsening, sadly. She sat in a corner for over 3 hours tonight without moving an inch.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Nothing's worse than watching my precious little girl suffer.
