Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about my silkie hen, I thought she may have a mild respiratory infection. I actually took her to the vet yesterday and now have some antibiotics. However the vet said her lungs are clear but she is very underweight. Having read everything I can on every forum I actually wonder if gape worm could be the problem. The vet asked if they had been wormed which they have with flubenvet. This is all that is available in the uk, but it seems that a lot of people don’t think it works for gapes???? Could anyone advise please. I understand that gapes can present as respiratory infection. None of the other hens are showing any signs of illness but on inspecting all of them last night I would say they all seem slightly under weight even thou they eat for England. Xxxx
