Is My Chicken Dying?

[Wyorp Rock]

I would again look inside her beak for any canker or yeasty lesions and inside her ears for infection.
Coconut oil is usually easier to administer, I put it in the fridge and break it into pieces that the bird readily consumes.
She needs to be drinking well to help clear the crop. An antifungal may also help clear it.

She loved the coconut oil

Nothing is wrong with her mouth. She has started pooping, and it's weird looking. Green (bile?) I have decided to start Corid, just in case. I mixed it with electrolytes and probiotics.

She is drinking a little water now, but I'm still giving her crop massages and droppers of oil/chunks of coconut oil.

The green may be from her not eating, but treating for Coccidiosis and possibly worms would be a good idea.
I would continue to treat the crop too. Glad she liked the coconut oil, mine love it.

It's best to stop electrolytes and/or extra vitamins that contain B1(Thiamine) during the course of treatment with Corid because of contraindications.

@Wyorp Rock i want to make sure she gets enough of the Corid, and she's not really drinking much on her own. Should I make a stronger solution since she's being given water with a syringe?

What do you have liquid or powdered Corid?

Liquid

Liquid

OK.

You can direct dose her with undiluted Liquid Corid at a rate of 0.10ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 3 days. This is a "drench".

You still want to provide mixed Corid water when you hydrate her the rest of the time. Liquid Corid is mixed at 2tsp per gallon of water given as the only source of drinking water for 5-7 days. You can mix it up in smaller batches if you wish - like 1/2tsp per quart or 1/4tsp per pint of water.

Hope this makes sense. You want to "drench" her with undiluted, but she needs to be drinking (or you syringing) mixed Corid water into her as well.

Perhaps I'll need to go to the pharmacy to get a syringe with that can suck up such a tiny drop

She's passed. Taking her for necropcy at Iowa State
