Oh no, another chicken.... Black Wound?!

[Bossmode]

The medicine is Toltrazuril Baycox 5% .14ml today and tomorrow.

I have never seen blood or diarrhea from her so not sure how much damage it might've caused, but as other people mentioned it might never show blood...

I just tube fed her like 10ml of very fine crushed crumble and some baby food fruit puree. I hope she gains her strength back.

How long shall i give her to see improvements? As i don't want her in misery another 3 weeks if she does not improve.
It will probably take her a while to gain her strength back.

This is so sad!

I walked in and she laid there as she was dead, I picked her up and basically revived her as she was barely breathing.
I wrapped her in a towel to brace her body and head and she seems more comfortable.

I laid my head next to her and she had one eye open looking at me, and I was telling her how strong she is and that she can fight this and how much I loved her and to hang in there.

this is making me cry.

What are the chances of her making it with the right antibiotics now? I really don't want to put her out if she can recover but this is awful.
Should she be atleast a bit better by tomorrow if she pulls through the night?

It is hard to know if the meds will help. I would just comfort her and keep her warm, offering water and meds. If you have buttermilk, that might be better. It is very sad indeed, especially when they look so helpless. But it helps to have comfort when they die. I really hope she makes a turnaround and gets better, but she sounds very weak.

When I pick her up she won't even hold head up anymore since we gave her the medicine. It seems all the little energy she has left goes into breathing and fighting.

This is so upsetting, if we have treated her earlier in the week she would probably feel much better by now as she still was standing, and drinking/eating on her own when we woke her up.

Now she is basically just breathing. I hope we can get her through this. Poor girl.

The chicky just passed away

She had 2 seizures I was able to wake her up from to keep her fighting, tho on the 3rd one I told her I loved her and it was ok and it was time to move on, as she held in there for me for way too long.

She had her eyes wide open looking at me crying and comforting her while she took her last breaths.

Another poor chicken that either could have been saved long time ago, or put out of her pain... but my selfishness kept her suffering, I feel horrible and heartbroken. RIP beautiful soul.

SO sorry! You and your girl tried so hard! Your devotion to her is wonderful. She passed with you there to comfort her.

I appreciate your kind words, thank you.

2 weeks her full time chicken caretaker and really hoping she would get better, can't say we didn't try our best during this time, tho again, things could have been done differently sooner. They grow on to my heart when they are so helpless, as if a family member passed.
