Hi
I'm in need of some help. My Buff Orpington Hen hasn't been well for the past few days... she's been eating very little and acting very tired and lethargic. She will stand around and close her eyes when usually she would be foraging and poking around.
It also seems like she has diarrhea, her stools are loose, watery and mucusy.. sometimes they are "Milky" coloured and other times dark Greenish in colour.
My sister took her to the Vet today and they gave her Sulfatrim drops (Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole) to take twice a day... Unfortunately the diagnosis from the Vet wasn't good, apparently he told my sister to prepare for the worst...
I've checked for Impacted Crop but she's not been eating so her Crop has been pretty empty save a few grains or so.
I also checked for Sour Crop but their is NO foul smell from her mouth.. Although when I checked on her after work (20 minutes ago) she did have A LOT of liquid in her Crop that wasn't there this afternoon when I looked at her before work. I think its water that she's been drinking but I'm not too sure...
Checked her Vent and the area around it for an Trapped Egg or anything but it all seems to be clear...
I really need some help as I'm stuck on what to do next...
