My last older hen showed up with a drooping comb, slightly purple, and lethargic yesterday, was fine before that. I brought her in yesterday and treated her for worms, a common culprit here. Worming the whole flock. This morning she is wheezing a bit so I suspect an infection. I have soluble Tet HCA on hand, but since she's not drinking much can I inject it? I don't want to go to the expense of a vet bill, or buy more stuff. She's eating yogurt with wormer, but is really droopy. I'm going to keep her inside the rest of the day.
I could also mix some with applesauce later and try that? Any suggestions??? Thanks, she's a real sweetheart so I hope to pull her through...
