Queen Victoria wont eat or drink

This is kinda like my rooster, his tail was drooped like that... but he didn't pant, and I had to help him eat and drink. I recommend, electrolytes and give her a shot of antibiotics. IF this is the same thing... and also try a heat lamp.

See if the Copper works on her. It sounds like yeast but the yeast could be secondary to something else.

The Copper is mixed 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. You can mix up a jug and use off that. Give her a fresh refill daily. Use for 7 days, 10 max. You will need to use probiotics for one week after treatment as the copper will strip the intestines of all good digestive bacteria and yeasts the do aid in digestion.

@casportpony Kathy, look at the poop picture, what do you think? Could this be a bacterial infection?

Antibiotics concern me if it's a yeast based problem because they would kill off the bacteria needed to fight yeast. As I read the article @Eggcessive gave me I am more convinced it is vent gleet. When I looked into her mouth thought I could see little white spots, but I couldn't get those to show up on a photo, and we took a dozen of them.

Ugh...I need my veterinarian to call me back and look at this girl.

I did order it, but the earliest it will get here is Monday. I will run into town tomorrow to get vaginal cream and see if TSC or the Farm Store have the copper. Meanwhile I'm using the probiotics. So happy I had that on hand!!!

I'm so worried about her. I don't know if she'll be with us in the morning. i can't believe how fast she is declining right now.

Looks kind of slimy, like maybe it's been in her intestines too long.

Could be. Let me go read the whole thread.

I know she ate a few meal worms this morning. Not very many because I don't give them many. But, I do not know when she last ate any other food. Right now she wont even eat egg. I have some yogurt I could try, but seriously she does not want to eat.

I hope she gets to feeling better...

I did collect the poop in a little baggie. Might be all I get from her to bring to the vet. If I ever hear from the vet. It's after 6pm, so I'm guessing she is gone for the day.
