Sick chicken week 3 now-diarrhea

You can get Baytril online for pigeons without a prescription. It will not hurt to give it just to see if it helps. The dosage and where to buy it online is in post 23.

Thank you. I will call a vet and see what they think but we are thinking we may have to put her down. :-(

We had to put her down. She was eating and everything was going right through her. My husband said she had no meat on her breasts, she was starving to death. The last morning she was with us there was a huge wet area on the newspaper from the "water" that came out of her. She was the best chicken we ever had, miss personality! I want to thank all of you for your help in diagnosing her. You are the best!

I'm very sorry

Thank you so much. It was very sad....I still keep thinking she is in the basement! She was down there for over 3 weeks with daily care.

Awww You did everything you could for her. Having one that requires daily care, you really get attached. They are so sweet anyway.

I am very sorry that you lost your hen. Unfortunately reproductive disorders like the one she had are the most common causes of death in laying hens. When we spend a lot of our time caring for them, we can feel a larger loss. But she probably felt comfort with your care the last few weeks.

I'm sorry to see that she lost her battle. You did a terrific job trying to help her.
