The vet had me leave him to be hospitalized for the day so they can hydrate and stabilize him. Cautioned me that he may die from the stress of treatment, as he is in bad shape. I hope you will keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

I had to get Ocho the rooster from the vets today. They were doing very little to help him, did a fecal float and found na parasites. When we got him at the end of February the owners had wormed him the previous week. He has no external parasites.
The vet had not fed him anything but lettuce and an electrolyte vitamin solution and giving subcutaneous cefazolin injections. I can do that here. They had also not cleaned his carrier and that's where he stayed since yesterday morning. When I got him home I let him stay in our backyard for about 15 minutes so I could clean the carrier. I fed him some crumbles and scratch while he was out he ate the whole time! Brought him in and made a scrambled egg that he put a good dent in too.

He is very weak still, and now very thin. I'm wondering if I should consider re-worming him even though he was supposed to have been wormed about 2 months ago. Hoping @Eggcessive @ChickenCanoe @Wyorp Rock or @casportpony might weigh in on this.
