Hi there,
I have a very poorly hen. She has been sick for a long time but has rapidly escalated downhill in the past two days, possibly due to a heatwave we have had in the UK.
When I first got her, she began laying soft eggs that sometimes broke inside her. We upped her calcium but it continued.
Then the soft eggs stopped altogether and she started doing very small lash eggs.
This week she has been been doing watery yellow droppings, and began to get lethargic. We took her to the vets who did an xray and found small reminants of shell stuck inside her. They are not reachable.
He has put her on a week's worth of Tylan (injectable) and loxicam. She has unfortunatly gone rapidly downhill and has began pooping liquid with large amounts of blood in it, red clots, and some dark green matter.
She has been drinking lots, but sitting very still with her eyes closed. We are now suspecting coccidiosis. Yesterday I gave her a Harkers coxitab but she is still pooping lots of blood. We also have some Harkers coxoid (Corid) which she has not taken yet. The Coxitab was a pigeon dose.
Any help would be much appreciated as we feel she does not have long left. Her crop is emptying far too slowly and appears to be giving her discomfort. Her vent is clean.
Thank you
