Margo is in Trouble

[Kathy Golla]

Ok girl....whats your plan...pls share...

 

[rebrascora]

Well she must feel better for getting rid of that surely! Does it smell particularly bad, like it has been held back..... like stinky broody poop?

 

[rebrascora]

Can you transfer that onto white paper and dissect that. I'm just wondering if there is some egg membrane or lash egg material in amongst that? I don't like the look of the black shiny stuff.

Thank you. Margo is still with us and I just saw her poop this:

Are there worms in it?

So I made the decision to continue her on the amoxicillin and administered 250mg at lunch. Kiki, please don’t scold me. My plan is to continue the full course and to tube feed her for fluids and nutrients. I need some guidance with that. She will read it if I’m nervous and panicky. I’m not handling her right now. Everyone else is free ranging and she’s hanging out in the run. She pooped and flapped her wings, but is pretty inactive otherwise and hesitant.

No worms.

from a distance I thought there might be worms, but close up it doesn't look like it, just light reflection I think but a picture of it dissected might shed more light.

I can't zoom in on my computer.

I actually wondered if the antibiotic might be responsible for the black looking poop. I'm not criticising you continuing it, especially when she has relapsed, but it can upset the digestive tract.
