Conjunctivitis and not responding to antibiotic

[azygous]

I just read back through the read. It sounded like she was responding to the Tylan 50. Might it be worth trying another round?

Lucy's been on amoxicillin for the past seven days. If she's battling a bacterial infection, it should no longer be an issue by now.

Hmm this is a stretch, but could her stomach be upset because of the antibiotics? That happens to my hens.

 

[azygous]

I suppose it's possible. Today was the last of the amoxicillin, so we'll see if she develops an interest in food after today.

Just checking in on Lucy. Any change?

 

[azygous]

If anything, she's failing. She's had no food or water since yesterday morning. I gave her a spoon full of yogurt and a dab of FF and she hasn't touched it in three hours.

 

[micstrachan]

I’m sorry.

I have never had a chicken who was alive, not dive for scratch, even if they had been ill and dying for weeks. Poor Lucy. Too bad she isn’t responding.

Sorry she is not well. Can you get your hands on some Baytril?

 

[azygous]

Lucy has already had a full round of Tylan 50 and a seven days of amoxicillin. If she hasn't responded to either of those, I doubt another antibiotic is going to make a difference.

I just tube fed her some cooked cereal and egg and some water. I just threw down some scratch for Lucy. Not interested. I'm probably going to be euthanizing her in the next day or so.

I wonder if something happened to her neurologically at some point.
Hugs, Carol...youve really done your best, no one would dispute that.
