I have no idea what I am doing

[Steven Mazzo]

I've been searching other threads looking for answers for you . . most of them seemed to self resolve with no clear answer as to why. hopefully she will get back to normal soon.

The last few threads I read were praising apple cider vinegar which we started this morning. Even the vet is stumped. Please say a prayer she starts eating her pellets. I'm going to try a warm mash of pellets and meal worms tonight before they go to bed

Has she been eating pellets all along? My chickens always balked at eating pellets. A lot of people say crumbles are preferred.

 

[Steven Mazzo]

She was eating crumbles until we got Flynn and he came with pellets. We were putting both out and she just started eating pellets immediately and has been ever since. I crushed a bunch up this morning thinking she might eat it but nothing

 

[Steven Mazzo]

Ok I tried crushing up the pellets and make a warm mash with dried meal worms and she wouldn't eat it. I did get her to eat a decent handful of the worms and we got a bit of poop but I'm still concerned about that bright green color. Does this look really bad? She might have had a tiny bit of kale this morning and picked on some grass which is all brown at this point. Even when she is ripping apart the lawn during summer I've never seen this night neon green. What go we think???

@casportpony poop pic!! ^^

Steven, I think you said the vet x-rayed her and said no eggs? Would they be visible if they weren't shelled yet? I mean, like if one was stuck. What all did they say about her in regards to eggs or laying? I still wonder if she may be about to lay.

Did the vet check her poop for bacteria?

I think the lime green is bile. . because of her not eating
Kathy. . correct me if I'm wrong.

Vet checked poop in the office and sent the sample to the lab and both were negative. There were no indications of an egg on the xray

The vet also thought the green was bile.

Did the vet do a gram stain?
