Hi,

I have a 2 1/2 yr old RIR that has been sickly for about a week. Pale comb, tail drooping, not eating, and whitish-yellow poop sticking to her fluff. Her vent is pink and clean, no discharge, I tried to feel inside for an egg or broken shell, but didn't feel anything. When I wash her rear end, she has a bulge below her vent that she'll squirm when I push on it (gently of course). At first I thought egg-bound, but I'd heard they will die within a few days, and there really hasn't been a change in her. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, with the exception of me pressing on that bulge.

I don't want to offend anyone with these pics, but I really need help. We've been having a heat wave for the past week (110-115 degrees) so I have her indoors where it's cooler, and the others can't peck her and she's getting chick starter and fresh fruits and veggies.

Help!

This is what I washed off her "fluff" this morning, her poop is kinda watery and there is much more white/yellow

Thank you so much for any info you can give!

Dear Wendy,

In my experience your RIR is suffering from Bacillary white diarrhoea. The dark green color in poop is un-utilized bile juice. Pasty vent also confirms the disease. Please have a look at the following link for reference.

General signs are


Inappetance, Depression ,Ruffled feathers, Closed eyes, White diarrhoea, Vent pasting, Gasping( in last stage), Lameness.

Treatment:
Amoxycillin, poteniated sulponamide, tetracylines, fluoroquinolones
