5-6YR EE Rooster
Eyes and Nose: Clear, no discharge
Comb/Wattles: Pale and increasingly bloodless
Appetite: NONE- Force-feed diet of anti-biotic water, Ensure, applesauce, oil
Poop: Was normal before appetite vanished. Now, water, bile, and urine
Wormed: not in the short space I've owned him
Plumage and Attitude: Was bright, healthy, and perky just three days ago
Breath: Rank like a dead animal before anti-biotic was administered
Crop- empty from lack of food and water for over 24 hours, NO ballooning, burping, or unusual squishyness
Breathing: Normal
Energy: Extremely low. Rooster prefers to sit and lay down constantly, closes eyes and tries to sleep. When aroused for force feeding he will stand and his eyes are bright, occasionally vocalizes- will warble a little as he changes sleeping positions in laundry basket (wonder if he has cramps or pain?) But it is hard to get him up and moving.
Anti-biotic: Liquid soluable Durmyacin for swine, cattle, and poultry.
I do not want to loose my pretty boy. It will cost me $50 just to see a bird specialist here in town. This doesn't seem as much like sour crop now as it did at first- even tho his breath was rank it has since disappeared or toned down since the antibiotic was administered. PLEASE help. I don't want him to fall beyond help.
