Hi all. One of my lavender orps has a severe case of vent gleet. I didn't recognize it for what it was until it had progressed and the hen started isolating herself. I brought her in and cleaned her up and started treating topically with monistat. I had read about feeding her some too, but couldn't manage to get any into her - she's still sprightly enough to fight me. After three days, the vent issue looks better but she is still not eating or drinking. I have been giving her some water with a bit of apple cider vinegar in it (1 Tbsp per gallon) via syringe morning and evening. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get her eating and drinking again? It doesn't feel like she has sour crop.
