What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) guessing he is about 3 years old and seems to have lost weight
2) What is the behavior, exactly. ~~ his personality seems just the same
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?~~ symptoms have been going on since about December
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?~~ no
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.~~ only sign of trauma I THINK is that his tail feathers are not very upright like they used to be and his comb is very droopy, waddles are always dripping wet. Was infested with mites and lice.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.~~ unknown
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.~~ regular Purina food, treats and water with added vitamins or electrolytes
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.~~ unsure
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?~~ gave him an epsom salt bath and have sprayed him with mite/lice chicken spray
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?~~ I’d personally like to get him back health at home
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. One picture is in October and the other where he is sick was taken in December
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use~~ was using hay and now have switched out to shavings from tractor supply
