Hi everyone,

I don’t know what happened or it’s the pecking order but my other turkeys don’t peck the chickens since they were raised young. This turkey we brought her in a bit older. She attack my chicken one morning, aggressively. I seperated her and the injured chicken. She was fine the first two days. I applied beenadine and neosporin on her head. The 3rd day she was doing a dirt bath and all of the sudden she can’t stand it properly. Looks like she’s in pain. I took her in, she won’t eat food only a little. She drinks her water which I put honey in it. But I’m not sure if she’ll make it. Any suggestion? My concern is she won’t stand up

Thank you for providing photos but
I also need to ask, is that oregano (?) and (cooked?) rice in the last photo?
The honey water should help w the shock, electrolytes added to the water would be my first choice but honey would be my second choice.
Normal pellets, either on their own or in a soaked mash would be my feed choice.

Since she seems to be getting worse, is an avain vet an option?

I’d probably search here for fish mox dosage by weight if the vet option is not possible.
I’m sorry I’m on my way out the door (and can’t cross post threads rn) but saw that no one had answered you and didn’t want to leave you hanging - in case you need to make a run to petco/ pet smart/ your feed store option and/ or order something that will arrive quickly

The doctor is far away like 3 hours. I’ll buy some electrolytes. I try to give her regular food but no interest. She was eating rice and the green stuff is Romain lettuce. A few bites, but lost interest. Also idk why her vent is smelly lately, idk if her egg burst inside her maybe that’s why she won’t stand up
