Aaaaand another post.
My title pretty much describes what's going on. This is the second bout of sickness for this hen. Last time (couple months ago) she had parasites internally, and she seemed to recover from that. But today we found a wound on her lower abdomen full of maggots. I removed as many as I could, gave her an epsom soak bath, washed her, cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide, and I'm dosing her with garlic oil, diatomaceous earth, molasses, and who knows what else.
She's just standing in her crate-- not laying down, just standing there, huddled up, and her head twitches sometimes. Is there anything more I can do for her? Homeopathy, herbs, anything?
