Do I see blood in that poop?

It looked like there was a tiny bit in pic 2. And it was a tiny amount compared to what came out of the rear end.

#4 who had been the most alert, the most talkative, the most mobile just had a seizure and died. After his seizure, he expelled white/cream colored stuffs. See pic.

#3 moved from the back of the couch to the window sill, I think. #4 was seizing so I didn't track #3 cuz I was trying to help #4. Haven't heard a peep from #3 since the move.

I hate that I am not mobile right now. So hate it. The only good thing is that I can hold my babies while they journey to heaven.

#3 is still hanging in here. Since she got herself to the window sill, she's been sleeping, then waking up and unsteadily walking the length and back, then falling asleep. And she'll chirp, like she's looking for a friend. She can hear the other turkeys outside, but I don't think they can hear her.

I noticed her neck. It appeared to have a dark vein/spot where blood might be pooling under her skin. (Pic 1 & 2, 2 is close up) I also noticed she doesn't seem to have much fuzz on her neck. (Pic 1) I also noticed her feet seem to be purplish. (Pic 3)

She keeps moving to be more in the shade. Not much I can do for her. She's right by the open window. No more poop. Barely drinking. Not eating.

I know it's not looking good for her, but it seems like she's a fighter.

I would start treating for coccsidiosis using corid. What else are they getting feed wise?

 

[Sara Ranch]

These babies were introduced to the bug and grass buffet yesterday. (being outside in a covered run)

Organic, non GMO starter feed was also available.

Offered them fresh fruit a few days ago, but they said no thanks.

Apple cider vinegar water from day 2.

Garlic and oregano in bedding.

Babies 1, 2, and 4 have died.

Right now, #3 has sugar/acv water, syrup/garlic water, and feed/grass/meat. She's not touching any of it. I can get her to drink if I put her head in the water dish. After that, she gets up and walks away, to collapse down a short distance later. She's sleeping now, in front of an open window, doing 1/4 turns every 15-30 minutes. Occasional chirps.

Thank you for your suggestion of Corid. If she makes it through the night, maybe I can get some at TSC and provide it for her.

I wish honestly the best for your babies, It must be so painful to see them go through this.

One two and four are up in birdy heaven eating all the yummy treats.

What is the protein level of the feed?

 

[Sara Ranch]

Protein level 22%.

#3 just had an epsom salt bath, shook her self dry (and me wet!), and went back to sleep. She's lying on her drying towel, eyes closed, chirping. Checked her vent. Swollen, but clean. No blood. She "screams" when I touch her.

Made a safe bed in a large, deep tupperware container, so I can move her into the bedroom with me.

I am so praying she makes it through the night.
