Due to contactless service, it's currently really difficult to get into contact with the vet. With my last hen who had displayed the same signs, the vet did find some protozoan bodies in her faeces but she couldn't tell if it's significant since it wasn't really a good faecal sample. The hen passed before we could get a better sample.You canntry to get your vet perform a fecal float on her droppins to look for evidence of both coccidiosis and worms. But if you cannot do that, I would go ahead and worm her epwith Valbazen, and also start some Corid in her water for 5-7 days. Valbazen dosage is 1/2 ml orally and repeated in 10 days. Corid dosage is 2 tsp per gallon of water. Corid dosage is Her main issue may be a reproductive problem, especially since she has laid soft eggs in her past. Is she still laying? If she has salpingitis or a reproductive infection, using an antibiotic early might be helpful.
It seems like Valbazen and corid aren't widely sold in my country - I live in an urban area in Sydney, Australia. Would it be alright to use alternatives with similar effects?
She definitely hasn't been laying. She suddenly turned very productive after this year's winter, slowed down afterwards and I haven't seen an egg from her for a few weeks now, except for the two occurrences where I witnessed her shooting out some shell-less eggs.
I was thinking of starting her on Triple C.
Thanks for chiming in! If you do need to know her crop status this morning, it's empty and she went crazy for both food and water as soon as I offerred it to her.
In terms of her overall current status, she's somehow perked up again, back to her usual self. But as I said before, her condition comes and goes and I'm sure she'll act up again either this afternoon, tommorow or even next week. Honestly, these inconsistencies are the reason why I'm so mind boggled
