Not sure what’s wrong — dehydration? Parasites?

[Grey Gables]

Can you look at the information the vet gave you and see what the diagnosis is and what medication(s) they have prescribed?

Yes! Absolutely. I didn’t have the paperwork yet when I posted.

Clostridium was the word I couldn’t remember. And I was given Tylosin to treat Anne for the Clostridium.

I am so so so happy you found out what's wrong with anne with an e. I can't wait for her to be all better.

Glad they were able to get you some medications. Did they recommend that you treat for Co as well? Did they perform fecal float?

Thank you! She’s already so much better this morning. Seems interested in what’s going on around her, she’s drinking, pecking at food, moving around some. Was able to give her the meds by cutting a blueberry in half and sprinkling the powder on the cut sides. (Vet warned me it doesn’t taste great so I was worried I may have trouble getting her to take the medicine.)

That is so wonderful. I am relived for you and her.

No and no. The vet mentioned fecal but said there’s so much bacteria in poop in general, she wasn’t sure if it was necessary and Anne’s was so watery at that point. Hopefully I repeated what the vet said correctly.

Did the vet give you instructions on how to give the medication? You have powdered (soluble) Tylosin? That is usually added to the patients drinking water. How much did you sprinkle on the blueberries/what dosage did the vet tell you to use?

Yes, she gave me powdered Tylosin and they pre-measured it out into little clear capsules for me since it’s such a small amount. Vet told me I could give it to her a number of ways — could give her the whole capsule, mixed into food, etc. I’m not positive how much is in each capsule. My paperwork doesn’t say, which I guess is kind of odd. Less than 1/4 tsp? She is to receive four capsules worth total, one per day.

Hey all --

Just wanted to again say thank you for your advice, help, support, and encouragement! Anne is back with the flock and done with her meds. She is back to her old self.
