Sick Polish chick help please!!!

[Jacob42]

We have a sick chicken possible bochilism. We tried epsom salt and water mix but does anyone know how long it takes for the bird to show signs of recovery or die?

Any other ideas of how to treat it? Any help soon would be great. Thank you.

I don't know the "usual," recovery time; but here is a link showing progress over a 24 hour period....

She had the Epsom mix last night and now we gave them all Duramycin 10 as their only water source for awhile I helped her drink some and then her stomach grumbled and she let out a big green poop. I am taking that as a good sign but all she wants to do now is lay down. I Hope she gets better.

We want to go get some silkies but we have to wait because our baby pen in now a hospital.
