Poultry Nutri Drench

[sittychick]

Can you put a puppy pad or white paper towels under her so you can get a good look at her droppings? Photos of them would be good.

What's her crop like - is it emptying overnight?

I would give her the PND today and see if she improves.

There are several strains of Coccidia that affect poultry and only 2 of them show as blood in the stool. Most droppings would be loose or have mucous in them. Symptoms and behavior along with what poop looks like are generally what folks go by unless they can get a vet to perform a fecal float.

She just made some more improvement although she still isn't eating or drinking. She got a burst of energy and started trying to jump out of the box we have her in, we pulled her out and she was trying to join her clutch mates in their pen. She tuckered herself out and sleeping in a more normal position than last night.

Her crop does empty after we give her water, she only had 2ml of baby bird food today, she really fought and didn't want it, but it has cleared out of her crop.

For me, with behavior and the consistency of the poop. If she were mine, I would treat for Coccidiosis.
Eliminate the PND during treatment.

This is Cinnamon.
Today she is slightly improved, she is preening her feathers some and looking around more. She is very unsteady on her feet, like she has vertigo. We thought about coccidiosis and picked up some Corid but the people at the Farm supply store didn't think it sounded like it since she isn't having diarrhea, or bloody stools. We have not given her the corid yet, we wanted to start with the Nutri drench. She still isn't eating or drinking.

Hope she continue he's to improve

Cinnamon has made a full recovery. She wouldn't eat or drink for 2 days but we kept her hydrated, making her drink with a syringe every hour. She slowly started to perk up finally eating and drinking on her own. We finally got into a vet, he ruled out coccidiosis and Marek's and said she probably ate some foxgloves in our yard. She was acting sort of drunk, unsteady on her feet and double vision possibly. Interestingly the vision problems was the last to clear up, she was off for several days after perking up.
The Nutri-Drench was very helpful in supporting her system while she was down. I will always be keeping that in stock. Thanks for everyone's help!

I lost a few chicks due to failure to thrive/shipping stress before I knew about Nutridrench (new chicken owner here) but it's saved/perked up many a chick since I found out about it! I saved a puny tsc chick just yesterday!
