Sick Mildred Deflated Eggs

[ANiceKaren]

If one has worms, they usually all need to be treated. So yea, I would treat her with 1/4 ml per pound given for 5 days. Shake it well. The amoxicillin can be discontinued after 10 days. What dose did you give. Most use 125-250mg twice a day for a grown hen. Calcium with D3 can be used for 7 days or as long as she is passing egg parts.

Hi! I used the calcium for about 4 days so I’ll give her again for a few days. She doesn’t pass egg parts daily but she has done it three times this week. The amoxicillian I was using was 250mg once a day.. I’m on day 8. Should I have been doing 2x a day? I have the safeguard paste so I planned on giving that to them all today. If my feed store has liquid I’ll grab that instead. Is the liquid preferred? Typically I do a pea-sized amount one time.. repeat in 10 days?

Thank you! I have 2 days left of amoxicillian which doesn’t seem be doing much :/ Do you suggest another type of antibiotic I could buy online? She continues to behave fine but her abdominal area is swollen and red. As far as calcium.. you recommend continuing? I was worrying it was causing her more issues. I’ll start that back up in hopes it pushes out that material. Would it be okay to worm her as well with Safeguard at this point? I have another girl with worms so I thought I’d treat them all? When it rains it pours…

Also.. I just noticed my amoxicillian are expired a year! I’m on day 8. I ordered some new ones which will take 3-5 days to arrive. Should I stop these and restart with new ones when they get here?

Wanted to add to this..this morning I found 2 weird egg material things under her roost. One actually resembling more of an egg.. only egg material inside. I found them in her poop from overnight. I’m thinking the calcium is pushing this out? Could she have had eggs stuck inside her? Today she is free ranging and seems fairly normal. Here is a poop of hers…I can’t think you all enough for helping Mildred! This is her this morning as well. I have noticed her breathing at night is a bit heavier than normal.

I have a Mildred too! A Delaware White. I so far have a had zero problems with any of my 6 girls except worms a couple times. Fingers crossed and I hope your Mildred is doing well.

What a cute girl! My Mildred is hanging in there but slowly declining I’ve given her lots of extra love.

Hey friends.. wanted to update you all. Mildred passed away last night I lost two girls in less than four days due to reproductive type issues. Mildred and Tuna… Mildred cycled in and out of feeling bad but succumbed to what I think was salpingitis or eyp/internal laying. I’m not entirely sure. I’m so heartbroken to loose my head hen and my other girl in such a short amount of time. As always, I appreciate this community helping me though.
