Help, almost 3 weeks my sweet girl is not getting better
She: eats well, drinks, and poops fine
I have her separated from the flock
No bumblefoot
Droopy tail
Flock jumps on her and pecks (hence I separated her)
I have given her vitamins (poultry cell)
Corrid (treated whole flock) day 2 today
Gave her safe guard Incase it was worms
Nothing working.
I do have antibiotics from a vet, trimethoprim. Not sure if I should try the antibiotics.

Any advice would be appreciated
 
is she being bullied for some reason? does she have any sores or wounds/broken bones on her body? I hope she recovers <3

She was not being bullied prior to this. No broken bones, not mites nothing, she is panting a little and it is not hot out

I read it wrong at first and thought she was three weeks old, but she has been acting off for 3 weeks. It could be heart problems. Do you have any photos of her?

since it's been 3 weeks we can pretty much rule out egg bound. here are some symptoms to heart problems :
Chickens with heart problems may exhibit a variety of symptoms, including:
  • Lethargy: The chicken is unusually inactive or sluggish


  • Labored breathing: The chicken's respiratory rate increases, and it may open its mouth and appear to pant. The chicken may also sound gurgly while breathing.
  • Distended abdomen: The abdomen appears swollen and feels fluid-filled. This is mainly seen in young large breed chickens.


  • Bluish comb and wattles: The comb and wattles have a pale or blue-purple tint, which can indicate poor circulation.


  • Involuntary tremors: The chicken may exhibit involuntary tremors.


  • Sudden loss of balance: The chicken suddenly loses balance and falls down, as if it has fainted.

She is lethargic, walks slow, sometimes looses her balance not a lot, abdomin is normal.

Not sure what to do. She is talking alot
 
What's her diet? Is she having trouble walking?
Diet is what she has always eaten dumour crumbles. Meal worm treats. I have been giving her some scrambled eggs to help with protein.
