HELP!!! My chicken ate some Clotrimazole!!

[americana-lover]

My hen Palm ate some Clotrimazole!!

I was trying to put some on her comb, another chicken has favus, so I was just preventing it from spreading, and some dropped off my finger, and she pecked at it!!

It was about the size of a pea, and I was so shocked I didnt know what to do, so I just wiped her beak, and tried to get her to spit some out. She just continued to sit on her roost, so I gave her some mealworms to make the fungi med taste go away.

Please help me! I dont know what to do! Tomorrow is my 5 girls' 2nd birthday, and I dont want her to be sick on her birthday! On the package, it said contact poison control, but I know they wont do anything for chickens. I do not have a vet near me, I live in the suburbs, so no one has chickens, so there is no chicken vet at all near me.

What should I do to help her? Will she be ok?!

I believe your hen will be ok since she didnt ingest a large amount of the cream. Just keep an eye on her for the next couple of days. If you see anything out of the ordinary...acting ill etc...consider giving her a molasses flush. Here's a link, scroll down to LAXATIVE SOLUTIONS:
