1) What type of bird , BR age 22 Months and weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Daisy has just started to regrow her feathers after a heavy moult.
Yesterday she was pooping water, drinking excessively and spitting up and eating very little.
Hunched over with her eyes closed.
She is a little better today eating better but still drinking large amounts of water and very watery poop.
She was ruffling the feathers up on her back even though she is in the house now.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? About 3 days
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. She is limping slightly on her right foot, no sign of injury.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. I don't know.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. 24% Gamebird/Showbird feed since she started moulting.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Very Watery
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Offered yogurt, mealworms and vitamins/ electrotyes in her water.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? Treat myself
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use They have a ~ 4x4 coop and a small run which opens into a large run. The small run has a wooden floor and is covered with straw and partly covered in clear vinyl to keep out wind. Straw in the coop too. Neither get wet.
I need to know what to give her to stop the diarrhea. Please if someone could help I would appreciate it.
The vet confirmed that Daisy doesn't not have parasites. Now he suggests a gram negative stain to look for bacteria. What would he be looking for that causes diarrhea?
