Please help me!!! my hen is very ill. Maybe Reglan(Metoclopramide) will help?

I remember you posting about this hen, but I don't remember you saying what antibiotics you tried. Can you tell us what they were?

Thank you very much! I will try this tomorrow. And I should give it all at once( 1/4 teaspoon) or to separate it in smaller amounts?

I would sprinkle a pinch in with each feeding for a little while.

Yes Kathy, yesterday I finished the treatment with Flagyl but no improvement. And in the past I don't know what antibiotics the vet gave her tt. But after the treatment with Flagyl I found that she is worse because it appeared the problem with the crop... I thought that it may be a fungal infecion or anyway something at the crop...

Thank you very much Getaclue! This probably will help her to digest better and to empty faster the crop.

I would also be suspicious of a fungal infection, this can cause what exactly what you're seeing, but she could also have a bacterial infection that the Flagyl didn't work for. If her yellow poop is cleared up, I suspect that she has both an e. Coli infection and a yeast infection, both require different medications.

The las time you posted her weight she was 1.9kg, what is she now? How much are you tubing?

Now she has 1,8 kg. Now I feed her less ( 1 coffee cup of crumbles per day) than normaly because the crop does not empty just after a long time.

And also I gave her some Aloe Vera juice and some milk thistle for the possible liver disease( the yellow urates continue to appear)

Just curious as to what type of water system you have in home,for example does she get distilled water,water that is run through a water softener or well water? Questioning about bacteria count.

This question may seem silly,but as i come from a family of plumbers i know water sanitation can be a huge issue.

 

[DorisBondo]

l give her the same water as my family consume, too. I don't know exactly how is called in english ( mineral water without acid). Is bought from supermarket
