His joints aren't swollen. Thank you for the info though.

If it is a yeast issue what would treat it? ACV? I put garlic in his water, and he has the yogurt too. I am waiting on a call back from the vet to see if I need an exam to bring in the poo, if so then I can't get it done.

Can you get a poop sample to a vet or lab and have it checked for coccidia, worm eggs, bacteria and yeast?


-Kathy

I can call and see how much the test is. 

Actual tests shouldn't be more than $25 for a fecal float and $35 for a gram stain, but if they also want to see the bird, that will be another $45 - $65.

Curiously, what antibiotics did you try?

penicillian, denagard, and oxytetracycline, they are on sulmet for cocci. Each antibiotic had at least a week inbetween with probiotics given, but I think I still messed up. Hopefully I can fix it. If it is in fact something that can be fixed.

THe girl didn't get the penicillin and she seems to be doing alright.

THis vet exam fee is $80 but he's the only local I know of that treats chickens.

If it's yeast, I would give ketoconazole, which you can buy online without a prescription. Some people have used vaginal yeast medications, but I'm not sure I would. Another human drug you could use is fluconazole, it's the pill that doctors sometimes prescribe for vaginal yeast infections.
