Sick pullet

[cfisch]

I’m at a loss; my girl is about 26 weeks and had appeared to have a respiratory infection; I isolated and started treating with Tiaguard. Her crackled breathing, runny nose and sneezes got better but now I’m not sure what’s going on. She is still extremely weak and won’t open eyes and stands very rarely, doesn’t eat or drink. I started her on electrolytes to try to give her more strength. She started getting this bump between her eye and nose. It’s soft and a little red. I’m trying my hardest to keep her alive and she seems to be a fighter but being a new chicken momma I have not clue what to do next. I don’t want to loose my EE; Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

I wonder if the bump is infection forming under the skin. Let me tag some really knowledgeable people who can help!

Did she drink the Tiagard? Sometimes you need to sweeten it so they will drink it.

Sorry she's not any better. You can try treating with Tylosin to see if that helps. It does look like she have respiratory infection, but it's possible she may have something else going on as well.

Work on hydration and see if you can get her eating. Is her crop emptying?

I did sweeten the tiaguard but now her drinking has slowed down and I’m stringing fluids (electrolytes and tiagard). Crop is empty and she’s very skinny and won’t touch food, not even eggs.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Does she have any lesions inside the beak?
Any bad odors coming from around the face/beak?

What's her poop like?

Can you take a poop sample to your vet to rule out Coccidiosis and/or worms as part of them problem?
