Hen gone downhill after suprelorin hormone implant

[stacey12345]

Our Isa brown hen got the suprelorin implant put in around 10 days ago. For the couple of days after she was quiet and sitting on her perch not leaving the coop which we thought may be normal however she is now not eating on her own or standing/walking. We have brought her inside so we can syringe feed her and give her water, we have given vitamin e and selenium and she still will not stand up and is super unsteady. On her feet. Has anyone experienced this after the implant.
She has the implant due to getting egg yolk peritonitis twice, both times treated with anti inflammatory and antibiotics

Hi,

There aren't a lot of folks that use implants, but when I searched, a number of threads came up.

Here's one that sounds similar to your hen's symptoms:

How is your little hen doing now? I hope that she is alright now.
