Our 2 yr old Lavender Orp won't eat. She went off her feed about 5 days ago. She had diarrhea overnight in the coop and just kind of stopped eating. She is fairly active, does scratch a bit around the yard, but we are giving her electrolytes and yogurt to keep her strength up.
Treatment tried: Wormed flock with safeguard (once, to repeat in 10 days per instructions for roundworms); CORID treatment in water and two days of beak drench (she almost died from cocci as a pullet), changed to new bag of feed, have bathed in epsom salts (she is pretty nasty bottomed).
Odd things observed: She has roughed up feathers on one side of her neck, but no sign of injuries or pecking? Stools are liquid, mucousy and white mostly although today first stool had some solids. She had a slightly swollen belly the first day but it's normal now. No straining. Hasn't laid but isn't a really great layer.
We hand-raised her and she is a beloved pet, often first out in the morning and goes to bed last of all.
We're worried/don't know what to do next.
