Lice help 🤢

If she's very weak and unable to eat or drink, you may need to tube feed. Are you able to do that?

She is moving her head a lot less after the selenium gel.

She is walking a little shes wobbly and weak. Wings seem fine too.

I have been syringing water into her mouth and made her a mash of food that i am also giving her by syringe and spoon...how would i tube feed?

A length of aquarium air tubing or oxygen tubing can fit to a regular 35 ml syringe from the feed store. Better is a catheter tip syringe connected to a red rubber Cather or feeding tube found online. There are many tube feeding videos and links to learn how to feed. Here is one with pictures:

KayTee baby bird feed is good to use. Here is a feeding tube set from Amazon:

Thank you. Im not sure i will be able to do this for her, only because i have to order all supplies but i will add it to my chicken first aid box asap. She did eat when i was feeding her and seems thirsty so ive given lots of water today. Head turning is less but still happening. Anything else i can do to help this?

Can i repeat the selenium tomorrow? i dont want to give to much as i know it can be toxic.

I made some electrolyte water to give her.

The head movements are much better, giving her selenium and poultry cell but running out right now for vit b.

She ate on her own today. She is much more alert and standing better.

BUT i woke up to the black poo. Everything im read says internal bleeding?

How much selenium is in the product you are giving?

Poultry Cell and vitamins can darken the poop, you're giving amoxicillin too. Is she acting any better at all?

I'd be hesitant to give the Selenium +E paste if it's for goats or sheep. Get a bottle of Vitamin E (400IU) and give her 1 gel cap daily, along with the B-Complex.

You mention you got her at auction - how long have you had her?

If possible, get a fecal float to see if she needs to be treated for Coccidiosis and/or dewormed.

Per dose, Goat Gel has 23.2mcg of Selenium which pretty high but only 200IU Vitamin E. Too much Selenium in time can lead to toxicity.
