My chicken is suddenly ill

[BYC910]

When you check her next smell her breath before the garlic of course . A sever repertory infection will put a foul smell in her breath .If that's what it is the Tylan 50 may help. Anything you feed her will need to be liquefied, If you use a syringe. Head in the normal position small very small amounts and give her time to sallow each little bit. Good luck I hope you pull her through

I forgot to mention that if you have a nearby vet, even one who doesn’t treat chickens, sometimes they are willing to run a fecal sample for you for about $20 which would help diagnose the presence of parasites or cocci. It only takes a few minutes and costs them pennies to do it, so they are still making a profit.

Do you know if fenbendazole would heal coccidiosis

 

[staceyj]

Its supposed to be effective for giardia but I don’t know about cocci.
There is a poop specialist here named @casportpony
If she’s on and awake she might be able to help!

Josh have you felt her crop? And try to smell her breath.

Sour/ impacted crop should be ruled out as well.

No it will not.
You will need Corid to treat for coccidiosis.
Coccidiosis can kill pretty quickly if left untreated.

Did you recently bring any new birds home?
