HI, I have a chicken that mostly lives in the house. She sleeps on our nightstand, has dinner with us every night, sits and watches tv on the couch. We are her flock. She does still get her time outside too. So recently she was acting weird and having watery yellow poops, which I'm assuming was bile as the vet said because she had stopped eating. Turned out She had roundworm and got a secondary infection from them. So The vet dewormed her, and we had her on a week of antibiotics twice a day for a week. At the beginning of the week right after the vet visit, she seemed better, eating a little bit and still hanging out on the couch with us. But she's getting progressively worse. Is staying in her nest at all times, sleeping through the entire day, not eating at all, but she is pecking everything we offer her, but it just falls out of her mouth. It seems like she's hungry but can't/ won't eat. She still drinks water, but nothing else. I know she is super sick, because she usually has the sweetest personality and follows us through the house and talks all day. But she hasn't talked to me in 3 days. I'm heartbroken and have been crying on and off all day. We will be bringing her back to the vet in 2 days, but until then I am DESPERATE for advice. OH now her poops are either clear and white goo or forest green slime. :/ And she won't even lay in front of the fireplace which is her FAVORITE spot. She only stands alone in the cold kitchen hunched over and puffed up
