My three-year old Light Brahma Betty is sick again for the second time in the past few months. I nursed her through the last one by swiping some of my cat's antibiotics and giving them to her. It pulled her through what appeared to be certain death, and she has been fine until yesterday.
She's extremely lethargic, just wants to squat in a corner with her head facing the fence. She won't eat. Her poop has been normal until last night when it turned to green bile. But she hasn't been eating so it's not unusual. She can still stand, and her eyes are clear. She just doesn't want to eat or do anything but lie down.
Since the antibiotics seemed to help last time she was this way, I assume she has a recurring infection, and I'm just guessing it's in her egg duct since she hasn't laid in a long, long time, maybe a year.
I had a good cry, dripping all over her little head as I cuddled her in my arms, and now I figure to let nature take its course.
Unless someone has a good idea I could try to save her.
