Okay, I'm going to the store to grab some meds for them... He looks a bit perjurer in the meantime...

Yes,definitely treat him as Kathy suggested. I have tiny silkies and if i see any unusual symptoms they immediately get treated with appropriate meds. He could have had a peck to the head resulting in some head trauma(i believe you mentioned you have a hen with him)but b/c there is no way of knowing for sure,i would start treatments. With coccidiosis time is crucial as it can kill very fast,treating him will not harm him,but not treating( if he has cocci)may result in deaths. Worm overloads can be equally dangerous.

He looks pale to me.

I jut got some meds... The Corid is a pretty big bag in powder form so I will have to figure out how to dilute it down... Here is his most recent poop.... Super watery but no red or green...

The mixing instructions of powdered 20% Corid are in post #11. 1.5 tsp powder per gallon of water--change it daily. Treat 5 days.

Thanks!!! I will mix it up as soon as I get home!

Update-

Got the meds suggested.... I came home and he was up on his perch and awake.... Which was a good sign. I was gone almost two hours... Had the heat on so it was pretty warm in their room...

He's drank some of the medicated water and is still eating well. His color seems better and his waddles no longer look shriveled.

Hopefully he is feeling better.... I will continue the meds as suggested!

Thanks everyone!!!

We read that the rooster could be suffering some digestive problems from a change in his food. She had just changed his food, so we are going to try some probiotics and some electrolytes. Plus, she got some Corid just in case. Thanks again everyone!
