Just finished second round of antibiotics for a bad cough. cough seems better but she has slowed down a ton so I can just pick her up, and she eats but has gotten rail thin. I brought her inside the house and she’s in a dog carrier with a towel and some nutridrench and electrolytes with water and some soaked sweet bread. She has been eating so I really can’t understand the extensive weight loss especially since the cough improved. Her breast bone is so prominent and she’s barely walking but her eyes are bright. Any possibility to save her and what are your theories for what happened? Of course she’s my favorite chicken. She’s not even laying yet, only 6 months old Cochin. I used a few drops of ivermectin on her neck last week when I also saw a few mites but it was a mild case. I gave her some safeguard today in case it’s worms but poop looks normal. Cry.
