Can you bring her inside where it's warm? Then post a picture of her poop?

The absolute most I would give a 6 pound hen is 0.15 ml. This dose will might treat roundworms.

From left to right:
Small = 0.1 ml = 1.87 mg ivermectin
Medium = 0.25 ml = 4.675 mg ivermectin
Large = 0.5 ml = 9.35 mg ivermectin
.


The blob next to the grain of rice is 0.025ml (0.4675 mg ivermectin)

Some of you might want to know this...

1 ml of paste = 1 ml of liquid
From left to right:

Small = 10mg - 1/10 cc (0.1 ml)
Medium = 25mg - 1/4 cc (.25 ml)
Large = 50mg - 1/2 cc (0.5 ml)

Can you bring het inside or use a heat lamp on her? Sick birds get very cold which only makes them sicker. About 80 to 85 degrees will help her.

 

[phoenix-silkie]

i don't think i can tonight.

 

[phoenix-silkie]

never mind i am bringing her in now.. should i give her some sugar water

 

[TwoCrows]

See if she will eat something solid like bread, crackers, warm oatmeal, something with calories. Even berries are good to help keep blood sugar up, hydrate her and give her calories.

Is there anything in her crop right now? Feel the right side of her breast where the crop is.

 

[phoenix-silkie]

i gave her some milk and some bread, i am going give her some sugar water in some crumble

 

[TwoCrows]

Good she is eating. Keep her warm and check her crop in the morning to make sure it emptied over night.

Keep us posted!
