HELP! Sick Rooster!!

[casportpony]

I just got back from the vet. The vet said he has a very serious ear infection.

I'm guessing he gave you something like Baytril or Clavamox for him?

They gave him a lot of things! He said to feed him 40-80 mls through out the day of ensure to keep his weight since he isn't eating, I have to flush his ear twice a day,The vet gave me Baytril, Ciprofloxacin, Meloxicam, and the vet gave him fluids when he was there. It is a very serious infection, there was a lot of puss in his ear. He lost his eardrum in that ear, I believe it should grow back. He had an ear infection in November, I had taken him to the vet, they gave me Baytril. I kept him on it as long as they said to. I guess that wasn't long enough even though he seemed better at the time. Well, the infection spread, creating a serious infection. Poor guy!

He seems a little worse now.. Luckily he is eating. I had let him outside yesterday, the vet said it was fine to. Then I let him out today, and this afternoon I found him sleeping under a tree so I brought him in the house.

Oreo wasn't doing to well today, though he was crowing. Anyways, I dropped him off at the clinic so they can take care of him. I hope he is okay, I miss him already. Hopefully I will be able to take him home tonight, he is such a sweet rooster. I hope he isn't scared being away from home... He is very tame though.
