have a couple questions. So a couple days ago my dad noticed on one of my silkes funny looking buldges attached to her skin well come to find out they we're lice eggs and we were able to get most of them off, but don't know how long they had been there. She is really wobbly And unstable but she is eating and drinking I ended up putting my two silkies in the garage in a huge tub with clean bedding the both have been dusted and than I put elcotrolytes and probiotics in there water as well. She is eating and drinking just fine but she is small and week. What do I do? Is there medicine I can give her to help or is there any diseases that you might no about or dealt with! she is my baby and wanna make her better. Any help is appreciated .

Below I'll attached some pics of her and than some stuff I bought today to put in there water .

Thank you
Amy

I believe an infestation like that can cause anemia. I would give her nutri drench. Some scrambled eggs are a good treat to help when weak. I always have used ivermectin pour on for cattle for my chickens. It takes care of external as well as internal and it works fast.
 
The electrolyte and vitamin product added to their water would be good to use for a week or so, but electrolytes can cause diarrhea if given indefinitely. Vitamin B complex tablets can be ground onto some of the food daily, 1/4 tablet per chicken daily. I would mix a little water into a small amount of the feed in a separate dish daily. Also give them a scrambled chopped egg to split. Tuna or liver once in a while is also a good snack. Do you have them on a good layer or all flock feed? That should help them get back to normal.
