Hello
Cletus, our 1 year old Welsummer Roo is not himself today, he is sitting in his run and resting his eyes, most unlike him.
A week ago one morning I noticed his eye was watering, then I noticed his comb in the center, at the base was swollen, I immediately put him on tetracycline and did that for 4 days (ending 3 days ago). The Swelling seemed to be lessened.
(Throughout the summer, I have noticed the edges of parts of his comb were purple, but it seemed to come and go, and since he otherwise seemed healthy, I didn't worry about it.)
Today, I noticed him hanging out in a sheltered portion of his run, and when I held him, he snuggled in and closed his eyes, when I last checked on him, he was sitting in his run.
His comb has the purple edging again and while I was watching him, he poohed out a runny lime green poop. I looked in the pen and found 2 other such poops. I looked in his mouth, does not appear to have any sores or lesions.
He was eating fine yesterday, his crop seems empty today.
Any ideas anyone?
I have included some pictures below.
(Note the white flaky crust on his comb, is that anything to worry about?)
