I’m finding a lot about chickens, but not a lot about guinea illness and how to treat when searching. I’m hoping this community could lend an ear and some advice.
We have a sick guinea. Her vent is red, feathers are missing around it, and looks to have diarrhea. She’s laying soft eggs (no shell). We’ve supplied water with probiotics and a pan with yogurt today. Guineas aren’t known for being amenable to new things in their environment, so it’s not as if I can force her to drink it/eat it. She’s free ranging and pecking around outside seemingly like normal.
I’m thinking this is vent gleet? Could it be something else? Other ideas on how to treat?
Thank you in advance!
