EE Pullet not Feeling Well

[JacinLarkwell]

Treating for coccidiosis can't hurt anything if it's the wrong diagnosis. It's like treating for shock or hypothermia can't hurt anything. I would try the Corid drench. That would be undiluted liquid Corid at .1ml per pound. Guessing her weight is good enough. Corid is simply a thiamine blocker, not an antibiotic. Give this once a day for three days. If she has coccidiosis, this often causes a dramatic improvement in 24 hours.

Hold back on the vitamins during this treatment, and also put the Corid in her drinking water at around a quarter teaspoon per quart.

A vet does not need to examine a bird to do a fecal float for us. Just assure them that the fecal float is all you require from them, not a treatment plan. They are usually fine with that. A float test for parasites should cost around $20 give or take.

Okay. I'll see if I can get some liquid corid when I go in for work. When I give her that, should I stop giving the Gatorade and just the corid infused water?

You can just put some sugar in the Corid drinking water you will be giving her. In fact, when professional flock managers treat coccidiosis, they sugar the water to counter the bitter taste to make sure their chickens drink it.

Okay. I think she enjoyed the taste of the Gatorade yesterday (green apple), she was quite enthusiastic drinking when she felt the spoon under her beak

You can continue the Gatoraid with the spoon as you were doing. She is likely still dehydrated, and it can't hurt. The only restriction is vitamin B-1 thiamine. Nothing else will interfere.

I hope she gets better soon!

Her crop feels big and kinda full of air. Like a balloon blown up but not stretched. She's not in the mood to drink right now like she was last night.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I do too. But she's starting to feel thin now. She hasn't eaten in over a day, and even with a heat lamp, it's cold out (it's only like 9F here right now).

I honestly wasn't expecting her to still be here when I checked.

Do you have miconazole? It's also a treatment that won't harm her regardless. I just pry open the beak and squirt a mouth full in sort of like squirting whipped cream. It has a neutral taste and chickens don't mind it at all. Some even like the taste. Do it twice a day for seven days.

I don't. I know that I should have these things, but I've never had a need before (yeah, bad excuse, I know). Is it something that is at TSC?

Walgreen, walmart, cvs, look in the feminine hygiene section. It's yeast infection cream
