Hi All
Collected some ex-batts two weeks ago. One of them didn't look right from the start - though it might be the stress of an adoption day but unfortunately not.
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) 1.5yrs, very light, very thin
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Lethargic, lots of sleeping, rattled breathing, puffed up feathers, intermittent leaking vent with white matter and clearish liquid, not laying at all, pooping
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Two weeks
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.No
6) What happened, if anything that you know. Unsure of history prior to collecting her. All birds smelt ghastly on collection so I assume unhygienic conditions
of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. A little, not enough in my view.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Caged within pen to stop bullying, have dewormed entire flock, oregano oil in water, enhanced feed (turmeric, chilli, ginger, coconut oil mixed with pellets). Warm bath and wash lash night followed by blow dry. Syringed an electrolyte mix with some aspirin (15ml) this morning which she took (as she was too weak to resist), seems a little stronger this afternoon and is resisting. Sunshine therapy as I'm out of ideas
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? Home treatment
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bed
ding in use. Dog cage. Aubiose + pine shavings mix
