Frank blood in overnight excrement - help!

[SeemedLikeAGoodIdea]

Hello, I have a 12 week old Salmon Faverolle pullet who seems fine during the day but poops blood over night (there’s a splatter of red blood under where she roosts) and there is some blood in her poops in the morning. I’ve been treating her with amprolium for the past 3 days (this has been going on for 4 days) without seeing any change. I saw the dosage info here and also from the manufacturer. She’s currently inside and her sister seems fine. She’s fairly perky during the day - running around and eating and drinking. And she does have normal poops. It seems like something happens over night. I’m having trouble finding a vet that will see her. The best I could do was an appointment in a week. I’m not sure she will make it a week. Any thoughts about how I can help her would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked her vent for injury?

Thank you for the reply. Her vent looks pink and healthy.

Has she been eating anything red? Berries?

Thank you for the reply. No red berries -she’s been inside for the past week or so. but I am relieved to report that the blood has cleared. I cleaned the room where she has been staying really carefully - I think there may have been residual cat litter. Not sure if this was it but I also gave her the probiotics for chicks. Didn’t think she would survive something that looked so awful and went on for so many days but they both are really perky now.
