sick sebright pullet please help

[robbdebbie]

She was fine this morning, but when I just went in the coop she was not right.

1) What type of bird , age and weight. Sebright, 3 months, pullet
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Can't stand up, laying with wings outstretched, can't stay awake. Letting me hold her which is very odd
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. No
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.?
5) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Medicated Starter
6) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Don't see any problems
7) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? None
8 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
9) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use Coop with pine shaving and fenced outdoor run.


I dunked her beak and she drank a little. I can hold her in one hand and she doesn't move. just sleeps. I brought her inside and she is not moving, just laying there falling asleep. When I first saw her she had both of her wings outstretch and I though she was cooling off, but when I walked closer she didn't move. She is normally really skittish. Please help, they were supposed to be vacinated for Meraks.

She is closing her right eye and not her left. She is also trembling.
Thanks

Sounds almost like she ate something bad or toxic. Look around for what it might be so the other birds are not affected. Could be stagnant water or even moldy hay or feed. With such wet weather that most have been experiencing, there is alot of moldy things out there that could cause a problem. You can try something like an epsom salt flush or molassis flush. Both help clean out the systems. Do a search on here, I recall seeing something once talking about giving vit E or selenium to also help. You need to get her drinking to prevent dehydration.

You could try a few drops of Polyvisol, you could mix some water w/ the food & try to get her to eat. Keep dribbling water along her beak to keep her hydrated and try to keep her warm & quiet.
Sorry, that's all I can think to do. Hope she gets better.......

Update:

I gave her some electrolytes, and some food mash, kept her in the house to cool off. She was up walking around so I put her back with her friends. She isn't 100%, but she is back outside.
