Crop Feeding Sick Hen, Losing Wt, Slow Crop, Liquid from Beak, Wiggling Neck

[PostageStampRanch]

I have no idea what could be the problem, but if any of my flock get sick like that, I'm bringing them to you people for care! Excellent care! Best wishes, and I will pray for hen. and Cha Cha too.

Thank you! I really appreciate the support and knowledge here too!

My best guess as well...

Thank you for your feedback!

If you are near me I could hook you up with lots of stuff.

I'm in Northern CA and have Baytril on hand.

Okay, I am confused. did @PostageStampRanch say they were in California?

I'm going through the exact same thing right now with a turkey hen. Her crop gets so full that food and liquid pour out when she puts her head down. She's also doing that weird head and neck thing. I started her on Baytril, metronidazole, Valbazen, and Corid. Today I am going to add Nystatin and ketoconazole in case she has some yeast.

Your turkey hen is in good hands! You are loaded for bear when it comes to meds on hand.

The worst "refunding" I've experienced was back on 4/2 when she poured like, what felt like, a faucet upon picking her up. More recently is the little bits of food, though.

I haven't witnessed the "S" wiggle neck move since yesterday, one time. (Before that was also brief, 10 days ago.)

Maybe I should be looking into these other meds as well.

The feed store down the street has fish penicillin and fish amoxicillin. My local Tractor Supply store (California) is telling me they no longer carry antibiotics and I would need to go through a vet. I found Baytril as Enrofloxacin 10% (100ml) online (Jedds Fine Avian Products), but the fastest I can get it here is 2nd day air. Would that be too long to wait?

Okay, I'm not losing my mind.

I have found that this is probably the most frustrating part of tube feeding. Where in California are you?

I'm near Sacramento.

Anywhere near Sacramento by chance?
