I think they will treat large roundworms. @Fancychooklady , what wormers do you use?Casportpony, are they good wormers ?
Do people have good success with this type ?
You would need to cool it down some so she doesn't burn her tongueWyorp Rock, yes she is drinking. I'll try the boiled egg this afternoon. Can I feed it to her warm or does the egg need to cool down in the fridge first ?
I'll go to the produce store and see if I can buy grit only. I've only ever seen shell grit, but it's full of calcium and I don't think she wants any more calcium, so she maybe missing out on the grit because of this ?
I wouldn't know how to tell if her crop is emptying sorry
My vet is not a specialist in birds or poultry, but I am in the country so I would assume they see more chickens out here than they would in the city.
But no, she doesn't know what my chicken has.
It sounds like she is improving!Thanks Wyorp Rock!
She was so much better this afternoon ! Running around and eating everything she could !!
I have been to the vet and the wormer they gave me is a liquid to be fed by syringe (without the needle), so I will start this tomorrow.
The vet said that they will then start pooping out lots of worms ...
Just wondering, does anyone know how long it takes for the swelling of the sinus to go down ?
Her eye is still watery too.
Also, I wormed them yesterday afternoon and I have checked as many poops as possible and I can't see any worms in them ?
Shouldn't there be worms ?
You may need to get some meds from the vet to go in the eye. Here's more info:So the wormer I was given is called Ausmectin Drench.
The vet said it has exactly the same ingredients as the wormer which has the chicken label on it.
There isn't any puss in her eye as I don't believe it ever got to the stage of infection, just liquid in her eye and swollen.
I have looked at it closely today and it hasn't gone down.
If anything, the swelling has increased. Her eye is still watering and there is a small white patch on the swollen part.
Will this go down eventually ?
I will try and get a photo tomorrow, but she moves her head so fast !
