1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Silver Sussex 2 yrs she looks thinner as she's moulting!
2) What is the behavior, exactly. She has always had one smaller pupil but today I noticed it had gone lighter and it has a odd appearance!
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Only noticed today!
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No!
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. She has a slight limp, but they all seem to be regrowibg their scales after scaly leg nite last year.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. I don't know of anything.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Growers Pellets, layers mash, corn, kitchen scraps anything she can find.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
She free ranges so I can't tell!
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Nothing.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Treat myself!
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. I will!
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
The coop leaks and I use wood shavings
I am going away first thing tomorrow for 2 weeks so I dont want to make this too complicated for the friend that's looking after them.
