My old hen has an ear Infection and won't eat. I found her lying down September 2 and she couldn't get up. After some research I found out its only an ear infection. She has a horrible wry neck and can't eat or drink and is starting to look undernourished because her skin is clinging to her feather shaft and IDK what to do. Please help.😟🙏
BTW I have Amoxicillin on the way.💊

Do you have photos of her and of her ear?

Have you cleaned out the ear? If so, did you get all the pus out?

If she's unable to eat/drink, then it would be a good idea to tube or syringe fluids and feed into her.
 
I tried everything I could but she didn't make it ☹️. But she was over five years old and had lived a good life so I'm not to heartbroken about it. Thank you for trying to help though.🙂
