Very sad news tonight. I think tomorrow morning I will be having to bury my darling Mama. (Mama can be seen on the first page of this thread!)

She is going through the same thing Agnes went through before she died last year. I went in to lock up the girls and there she was all fluffed up standing in the middle of the coop. Very unusual especially since she was letting me pet her and stroke her head. She will normally not let me near her. I knew as soon as i realized that she wasnt even acting scared that she had what aggie had. I picked her up an, yep, not a shred of meat on her poor bones.

I should have seen it coming, i should have known, but the weight loss is just so dang rapid. Not to mention she just finished being sick and is dealing with molt too. Poor poor baby. She was sleeping on the floor two nights ago and i thought it was odd so i scooped her up and put her on the perch. I didnt notice any unusual weight loss at that time.

Ive done what I can do ATM. All I have in the house is a dog and cat roundworm de-wormer. I gave her 1/4 tsp as recommended for cats and dogs under 3 lbs. I am not hopefull. What ever it is took Aggie in less than 24 hrs of her showing symptoms. I dont know what to do. I wont be able to force feed her. Agnes wouldnt even touch food of any kind in her last hours. I feel like i could maybe give some poly-vi-sol to put some nutrients into her body. What do you guys think? what would you do?

Im gonna have Mark dig a hole in the yard tonight in case I need to bury her in the morning. This is just terribly sad, Mama is very near and dear to my heart. VERY.

so sorry. I hope something works for her. how sad. she is so beautiful.

I need to deworm my 1 year olds this year. Do I wait until after molting is done? I can't remember when some of you were doing that last year.

Ok, anyone else notice the creepy links to adds that byc inserts into our posts now? something in my post yesterday became a link ad and in aubrey's, "weight loss" has become a link.

Oh Aubrey, I'm so sorry!

Deworming: I'd like information on it, no matter when you do it. I haven't done it before.

 

[aubreynoramarie]

Normally I would put WAZINE in the birds water. You would want to take away their water at night. Then mix 1 oz WAZINE per gallOn of water and give it back to the birds in the morning. Only use the treated water for one day. The next day they are back to fresh water. 10 days later repeat this process but with a different dewormer.
Deworming should be done in the fall before molt and again in the spring. I really should know better. I should have hit them all a month ago but was worried about them being sick and deworming so I only dusted them for mites.
I have gone ahead and begun the first part of the deworming though, with WAZINE.

 

[americanvalkyrie]

Ok, so one dose of Wazine. 10 days later, one dose of something else. That's it?

 

[aubreynoramarie]

Yep it's easy peasy pumpkin pie.
Also don't eat the eggs during and five days to two weeks after

I would start feeding yogurt, plain and unsweetened. Hopefully you have some.

Is she thirsty at all?

If you're still on, I'll wait to hear from you. Let me know, I'll stay on a while longer if you need me.

I'm sorry....hope she surprises you and feels better in the morning.

Thank you for staying up, Lacy, that was an incredibly sweet thing of you to do. I'm really really sorry I didn't come back on
I don't have any yogurt in the house. ( I wish this would have happened on a weekend!)
Last year I lost my very first bird Agnes the exact same way. I force fed her the entire night. Eggs, yogurt, and baby food. I slept for ONE HOUR and in that hour she went ahead and died anyway. I was crushed.

I haven't been outside yet. I just got out of the shower, but I should know her condition in about an hour. I'll keep her inside today with some scrambled egg yolks, bread, and fresh water.
