botulism help

[Matthew01]

Ok I'll take it of how long should he be in there.

I would let him out several times a day, and move his legs some to keep his joints limber. You can also stand him up to see if he can walk. The sling is to get him up and out of his droppings, and to get him to eat and drink more often. They will sometimes try to get out or struggle, so make sure that he is safe. Keeping him inside if possible may help to keep an eye on him, but not absolutely necessary. Hopefully he will get better.

Thanks for the help.

 

[Eggcessive]

You're welcome. Let us know how he gets along.

 

[Matthew01]

Ok

Ok

Did your chook survive? If so, what did you do (loved the sling set up)? xx

 

[Matthew01]

He's getting Better not 100% but I let him go out with his friends burning the day.

That's wonderful news!!! Fingers crossed there's hope for me and my little one

So do you think it was botulism or something else? Did you end up giving them antibiotics? If so, which one was it? We're on day 3 of doxycycline and some improvement but still can't stand.

Still waiting on some advice from fellow BYC's... We're completely baffled and so so sad

He had frostbite then stoped drinking and eating.
