My favorite girl Jojo hasn't been acting herself since Monday/Tuesday, she could have been sick over the weekend but I wasn't home to see her. I noticed she was laying around the coop Monday but that is not unusual with the birds, it is a very large building and they hang out inside like they would under the trees sometimes. Tuesday at lunchtime I noticed she hadn't gotten off her roost so I brought her inside and gave her a once over. She seemed fairly thin but she has never been a heavy bird. She is a WC Black Polish. I'm not sure if she is a large bantam (she was supposed to be a bantam) or a smallish LF. Her wattles are fairly pale (never have been super red) and they actually went greyish for a bit.
I gave her a bath tuesday night checking her for a stuck egg but didn't feel one. She has barely eaten all week, mostly grapes and meal worms. I've offered her many different things but she isn't interested. I put Wazine in her water yesterday and I also dusted her with Sevin since she seemed a little itchy. She has never been an overly active bird but she is acting quiet even for her.
I don't hear her wheezing, nor do I notice any discharge from her nose. Giving her some antibiotics (I have duramycin) is the last thing I have in by bag of tricks.
Please! Anyone have any ideas? She is my favorite girl and I would be heartbroken if I lost her.
