I have a little americauna girl, about 4 yrs (?) She was real listless the other day & wouldn't venture out of the coop, so I brought her inside & looked her over. Her vent looked nasty & there was a fly, apparently trying to lay eggs, so I sprayed her with some Catron IV, let it work for awhile, then cleaned her up. The next day, I put some apple cider vinegar in her water & she drank quite a bit. I fed her a scrambled egg. She ate a little of it, but then later, gulfed one down in no time! Went to the grocery store & bought some unflavored Pedialyte, gave her some in a bowl & she drank quite a bit! I had also given her a baby asprin, earlier. She's been in the house for two & a half days now, hasn't laid an egg & will barely eat or drink. Could there be an infection from the fly & if so, what can I use to treat her. Her vent looks fine, but could she be egg bound? Not sure how to check for that. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!
