Sick Chick

[Lazy Farmer]

I have a 2 m/o pullet that is weak and barely hanging on. She has what it appears to be traces of dried diarrhea on her bum.
Any objections to dosing her with ivermecton today since she was dosed with WAZINE last night?

I wouldn't double dose with two different medicine.
I'd wait.
Can you have her poop tested to see what worm loads she has?

Do you suspect she has worms?

I just hydrated her with Sulmet. We got from our vet a few weeks ago.

Seemed a little slow yesterday. Today not good at all.

I am assuming

Thank you. I am holding back on the ivernmecton. I drenched her with an antibacterial watering solution called sulmet. Isolated her in a kennel and am adding the sulmet to the rest of the pullets in that particular brooder.

I wish the poop inspector general was here.

Can you take her to the vet?

Sulmet may help. Did the vet initially give it to you for Cocci?

Yes but in conjunction with a worm treatment as well. It was for our goats at the time. The label has the recommend dosage as 1 fl oz per gallon of water for chickens and turkeys.
