Wow, sounds very similar. Poor thing. Was she throwing up egg at some point? What were the first signs?Sorry that I have missed your updates the last few days, not sure why. Amoxicillin dosage for chickens is 125 mg twice a day.
She sounds so much like a hen that I have been treating for about 3 weeks who is wasting away, and had a soft end on her egg shells for a long time. She has a slow crop that eventually became sour and smelly. I have had to make her vomit, and tube feed her water, NutriDrench, and yogurt. She will eat egg, and she will go outside and peck at things in the grass. I have grit all over to make sure she takes some. She now has a drooping wing, and I don’t suspect Maresk, just maybe she has had a stoke or is showing neurological signs being close to death.
Ok I just gave 125mg Amox. I have 6 tabs left; hoping it helps. Gave it orally, dissolved in pedialyte with syringe. She's on a roost in the brooder but I have a soft dog bed in case she falls. I gave 2 more syringes full of pedialyte.
