Lethargic Hen

[lisa82]

This time I used wazine 17

Wazine only kills round worms. There are LOTS of other worms that she could be suffering with.

What did you use last time you wormed them?

Two better dewormers that kill all (or almost all) worms are Valbazen and Safeguard for goats.

Glad you joined us!

Yes, Wazine is not the best wormer. A broad spectrum wormer, like SafeGuard or Valbazen, is a better choice.

I know but when I went to tractor supply they only had this kind, so I ordered Valbazen online should be here today hopefully.
Last time I used rooster booster multi wormer.
She seems to be a tiny bit more with it today.

I'm glad to see at least some progress here's to hoping she keeps improving.

I'll let you know what my vet comes up with later. I'll be heading there in a few hours.

 

[BayBay Peepers]

So far all I know is no worms or mites. The vet said I'll have blood work results in the morning. Sorry there'd not much to go by yet.

 

[lisa82]

I don't know if that is a relief or not :-/
Hopefully it's not something too serious
Thank you for the update!

One thing I should mention. They gave her 120 cc's of fluid and she really perked up. They also gave me a giant syringe to get another 120 in her tomorrow. Maybe your hen needs more food and water than she's taking in.

Thank you
Did they do the fluids subcontiously (in the skin) or by mouth?
