Hello everyone, after endless googling and reading so many threads and my poor chicken not getting any better over a week I thought I would finally ask for help. My 3 year old chicken Teri, I noticed her drooling and shaking her head about a week and a half ago and a few days after that, I noticed her not wanted to get up in the mornings. I thought it was just due to the cold weather.
About a week ago was when I really noticed she’s not well when I found her laying still in the bushes.
Since then, I‘ve been treating her for worms with killverm thinking it could be gapeworm, vetrx thinking it could be a respiratory issue and giving her Powerade and apple cider vinegar/garlic water (all of which has been with a syringe as she isn’t drinking or eating on her own). She isn’t sneezing, wheezing, no swelling anywhere.
Symptoms I have noticed is some white “grains” (looks almost like minced garlic, but very white. When I tried wiping it off with a q tip, there was some bleeding) on the right side of inside of her mouth which is the same side she has her eye closed (she can open but stays shut most of the time), lots of drooling(more so when I am giving her some water) and green poo.
She has good balance (meaning she can walk fine, but prefers perching and sleeping all day) and my other chicken has no issues.
I’ve been feeding her egg lately as I felt too much time had passed without her having eaten any food. When I show her food, she looks excited and even tries to peck at it but seems as though she doesn’t have the energy to eat as she doesn’t seem to open her beak wide enough and I think the mucus inside her mouth is too thick for the food to stay in her beak without her really trying. I also noticed a day after feeding her scrambled eggs, the scrambled egg came out whole in her poop?
Shes been losing weight over the past week and becoming less alert.
What could it be! Thank you in advance.
