Try giving her plain boiled white rice mixed with buttermilk. Buttermilk is a much better probiotic than yogurt, it also coats intestinal lining. The boiled rice helps settle the digestive tract and besides, they look like maggots and chickens scoff it up.
Awesome thank you! I think we will have leftover rice tonight that I can give to her, and I think I have a whole pint go Buttermilk I need to use. Thanks so much!
Have you seen her eat?
I haven't been able to watch her 24/7 since she is out with the other birds. I assumed she wasn't eating, that is why I am mentioning a flat empty crop. I am almost certain she isn't giving weight.
Weighing them is probably the most helpful diagnostic tool one can have. You said she's on day five of the wormer, yes? How much did you give her?
I gave .23ml per pound which calculated to 1.15 since she weighted 5 pounds. I couldn't find 1.15 on the syringe, but I read in the thread that was kinked here that some people round up to .25ml without issues. So that is what I did. I got 1.25, and did a little less then 1 and a 1/4 on the syringe, since I rounded up.
I didn't get to weight her today, but I will defiantly do that tomorrow. All I know is that I have not seen her eat, before I hurt my foot when I picked her up, she didn't feel like she was gaining weight, and he crop was completely flat and empty at 3 in the afternoon.
