Please help! Lethargic silkie!

I have been dropper-feeding her water and electrolytes. She refuses to eat

If possible you should get it now. Coccidiosis kills very quickly.

I don’t think I can...We can’t get out of the house at the moment! I hope that she doesn’t die

Give her a couple cc's of milk to drink. It will slow the effects of the infection until you can get the Corid.

I just gave her the milk. Thank you!

I just gave her the milk. Thank you!

Also, you might want to closely inspect her for mites, you never know. They are tiny and look like black pepper and 8 legged.

Sorry that you cannot get to the feed store. Glad that @dawg53 could suggest the milk. A little plain yogurt 1/2 tsp is good as well. Keep giving the electrolyte water as well to keep her hydrated. Has she had any runny or bloody poops? Hoping that she gets better.

Hey guys! We are going to go and get the Corid soon. I have been giving her yogurt and electrolytes.

Should I treat the rest of my flock? Also, is it okay to use the Corid that is for cattle?

 

[4 Georgia Hens]

Okay y’all! I just mixed up the Corid and gave her some. We will see how this all plays out!
