Extreme uncontrollable pooping

[MissChick@dee]

Well I hope the worst of it is behind her (pun). I’ve seen some incredible unbelievable massive poops come out of my egg laying hens. She’s gotta feel better after passing that. Could be from the dewormer too. Be sure and tell your vet all the dates of the dewormer. You stated from the very first post that she’s drinking water this is very good. I’d be very curious what the vet says. We’re hoping for a full recovery. Keep us posted.

Ok, will do. I’ll post tomorrow about an update.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who offered advice or ideas. I really appreciate it!

Is she still doing okay? Initially, I was thinking you could try to give her a poultry safe anti-diarrhetic.
Right now I would focus on getting electrolytes into her and some fast calories like NutriDrench.

I agree. But take care with the nutridrench. I am pretty sure it has molasses and have heard this can cause diarrhea if too much is given.

She’s seems a bit more alert after drinking water, which is great. I’ve been using nutridrench, to hopefully get her to perk up. I didn’t know that was even a thing, I’ll check that out!

Ok, I’ll definitely be careful with it.

Were you able to offer rice and did she take any?

I unfortunately haven’t gotten to try it yet, since she had another accident that I had to clean up. She’s sleeping right now, do you think I should offer some rice now or wait until the morning?

I would not wake her. She needs to rest. That is, as long as she took some fluids, right? Water and nutridrench?
