Silkie Emergency

[Lokibinian]

Good news! He/She is now getting up and moving around on her own, and she's drinking water on her own now as well! She/He's far more active than before. The treatment so far was the milk flush and Poly-vi-Sol.

What about Kocci Free? Is that a good treatment?

Thanks for the info!

I am glad that she is drinking and acting better, but I would not recommend Kocci Free to treat an outbreak of coccidiosis. Amprollium would be a better choice than an herbal treatment with very little research about it's effectiveness. Your vet would most likely use Corid or a sulfa antibiotic to treat cocci. Let us know if you need more help.

Alrighty then! Thank you.

Okay. This is worrying.

The silkie is still eating, drinking, and pooping fine, but on closer inspection, it seems as if he/she has broken its leg and its wing. I tried to wrap the wings, but need help with the leg... I'm also worried too much wrapping everywhere could somehow hurt her/him.

Also, the poop is not bloody anymore, but it's now greenish with yellow parts. Any help?

Can you post some photos or a video of her?
What are you feeding her now?

Is what you are seeing with the leg and wing possibly paralysis? Do you see any evidence of injury - cuts, bruises, wounds?
It may be best to start her on some B Vitamins to see if she improves. At her age she may have a disease like Marek's. http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-great-big-giant-mareks-disease-faq

Okay, this is how we wrapped the wings. We untied the gauze just now, though, because we weren't sure if it was safe. Is this a proper way to wrap the silkie?

I'm not sure how to upload videos, whenever I try, it says the file is too large, when the length is five seconds long.

Also any info about green poop?

Upload your video to youtube, then provide us a link. I think that's the only way you can do it right now - the upload link thingamjig is not working properly

What are you feeding her?

Green poop can be an indication that she is not eating properly (vitamin/nutritional deficiency), bacterial infection, disease like Marek's, Coccidiosis and sometimes worms.

If she initially has what was thought to be Coccidiosis, did you treat her with a Coccidiostat like Corid?
Provide her with poultry vitamins like Poultry Nutri-Drench or Rooster Booster Poultry Cell, and see that she is eating her normal chick starter.

I hope you are able to get the video so we can see how she acts/moves, that may help.

The silkie has passed away.

She died about four or five hours ago.

We buried her.

I appreciate everybody's responses.

I'm sorry for your loss
