i have a 1.5 year old silkie hen that appears normal until you pick her up. everytime i check her, her crop is full, she eats like a pig, but she is nothing but bones, skin and feathers. her breast bone is protruding andi am extremely worried. this is what i have done so far for her in the last month or so trying to self diagnose her...
dewormed with ivermectin pour on twice 10 days apart, placing under wing directly on skin.
provided duramyacin 10 for her for 7 days
currently i am trying corid, i am on day 3
started feeding her hard boiled egg yolk twice a day, with a little greek yogurt, also on day 3. - she loves this!
she gets around normal, she is free range and chases bugs outside all day long. she has free choice of layer pellets and fresh water daily. i heard her sneeze yesterday, and noticed she is a little more standoffish. but once she realizes i have food, she is alert and quite aggressive about getting her egg yolk - she does not like to share.
any advise is appreciated. thanks in advance. i am taking a horse to the vet tomorrow for regular shots, and plan to hit the vet with this question as well. i will try to take a poop sample to him to test.
