Mystery Illness- Bright Green Poop...

[bsides2007]

okay, I think I've found something that will do. Just gonna watch a couple quick youtube videos so I don't mess this up. I've mixed up some of her feed with a few meal worms, probiotics, vitamins, and electrolytes, kelp, flax seed meal, and a tiny plum, with a tad of yogurt and honey and water. I have noticed the little bit I have been able to feed her, her poop is not bright green anymore so I hope that's an okay sign....I hope I can do this tube feed in time to save her...

Start with water, Gatorade or Pedialyte first. Give 2-3 ml per 100 grams, wait 60-90 minutes and repeat, then one more time in 2-4 hours. Giving food to a dehydrated bird can kill it.

She has been drinking water on her own daily, and I have been adding electrolytes in her water every day as well. Do you think I still need to do water first? And do you mean 2-3 ml per 100 grams of her weight?

Has she been drinking enough? Yes, 2-3 ml per 100 grams. She's 1800 grams, so if she were mine I would give ~35-60 ml.

Were you able to start the Baytril?

 

[bsides2007]

Okay, I did about 40 ml of gatorade, got that down okay. I will wait an hour and do it again. I have to order baytril so it's going to take it probably until Wednesday to get to me...honestly if this tube feed doesn't work, she won't live until Wed. I hope this helps her pull through until then....

Can you post a picture of her?

She is very very weak and tired. The back of her neck looks bad because she was a favorite of our drake. I think that's why she was compromised in the first place. None of the others are sick yet and it's been a week and a half, so I figured I'd see something going through the flock by now. She's the only one.

Poor thing. . Did the Gatorade perk her up at all?
