I have a Dark Brahma who has fallen very ill over the past few days. I need any advice or help!
1) What type of bird , age and weight.: Dark Brahma, 11 months old, unsure of weight but has lost a LOT in the last two days or so.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.: Very lathargic, not eating or drinking, having trouble moving or balancing. Eyes are bright, but her poop is bright green/yellow and liquid.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? 3-4 days
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. No
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. No idea
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Not eating or drinking but I force fed her all purpose made into a mash and scrambled eggs. Forcing water with syringe.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Runny, bright green/yellow
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Vitamin water, Apple Cider Vinegar water
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? Do it myself
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. No
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use. Pine shavings and a draft proof coop.
She has lost weight, and is just coming out of a molt. No interest in any food, and her balance seems off. But I know she is also very weak, the difficulty in balancing came on this morning so I assumed she was just very weak.
Any help would be appreciated...
