Please help! Sick silkie and seems to be progressing quick! What should I do?

[theacw]

Haha, imagine how I feel.

Any advice on her sounding gassy and bubbly? Its not rattling or gurgling when shes breaths. The second I feed her water/baby food/yolks... it sounds like world war III is happening inside her. It is crazy loud and sounds like our stomachs growling and digesting. It goes on for at least an hour afterwards and little bit here and there after that. And then I heard the same noise but louder escape her back end and checked and there was tiny amount of light yellow poop that came out

We just don't know. I looked up Gurgling Gut and got sour crop remedies (Apple Cider Vinegar + Olive Oil soaked Bread) I'd just continue the antibiotics, the yogurt, and water. How's she doing?

 

[theacw]

Shes been incredibly weak today. I have just been holding her in the big fleece blanket and she would be passed the heck out for 15 minutes not moving a single muscle like she is a stuffed animal... then have these huge spurts of freak outs that last 3 seconds and completely lose all energy and muscles the point where I think I lost her and then she would start breathing again. Over and over again.

She is exhausted. I am exhausted. I wish I could find someone to help her end her misery because my heart hurts so much for her.

As much as I am praying that she will make it through this... I think God needs to come do his thing.

Are you still giving her the Tylan,if so stop it. How many doses has she had? Has she been able to eat?

It sounds like she is really suffering...

sometimes these things happen and animals are born that aren't meant to survive. But if she is meant to survive, then of course God will do something

Yeah she still is getting it, that it all she is getting right now. She has had 5 doses.


Still hasnt been able to eat, but yesterday she attempted for the first time in a couple days.

She made it through the night

Do you think think she will pass on her own? I honestly cannot cull her myself....

I would consider whether the Tylan is helping her. All my information states first dose,then second dose 48 hours later,if no improvement reassess medication. How are the issues with crop? Is she still having gas/bubbling? Is her crop empty,if she has not been eating it should be empty. What about the white in her mouth,is it still there?

 

[theacw]

I really dont know anymore. I think we are both giving up and I dont think i should be poking and bugging her as I think she is reaching the end. She did seem to get weaker right after I gave her each injection though. She isnt wobbling and losing control of her body as much now that she is so weak, she is laying there still most the time so I will just leave her be so that she is comfortable for the remainder of her time left.

So sorry she's not getting any better. You mentioned she free ranges, maybe she ate something poisonous. Could be why you're hearing gut gurgling. Year's ago I had a silkie die mysteriously and concluded some sort of poisonous berry or similar that she ingested.
