i have a 3 year old hen naned dorothy,
I noticed about 1 month ago she had lost alot of weight and checked i her poo she had a massive worm in it.
I wormed her and the flock twice, i cleaned all poop out of backyard mowed the lawns and everything seemed fine.
I noticed the other day that dorothy seems to be falling asleep everywhere she goes and somtimes loses balance i noticed she still has not put on weight, she is losing it again she is as light as a feather!!... i have put her in my laundry and i am trying to feed her all the treats she loves but she wont eat much it hurts her to poo she lets out a painful sounding cry.
Her poo is bright yellow and green.
I have checked her cavity to make sure she is not eggbound everything seems fine in there.
I have had a feel around her whole body it all seems normal apart from being so skinny that i can feel her bones.
Shes not sneezing or coughing
Her crop feels empty even after a handfull of mealworms.
Her bum is clean besides from a little bit of yellow crust, i have been putting anti fungal cream on it.
I have given her solvita for extra vitamins, pestine powder incase of mites and i have given her a re hydrating syrup in her water
I dont want to lose her she is my best friend and i dont get money until next week to take her to the vet .. now after this i will be putting money away incase of emergencies! My heart is broken
And im not sure if she has been bullied into not eating i have noticed my big isa brown likes to peck at dorothys beak thats why she has black on the top of her beak. Dorothy is a bantam.
