Something wrong with my buff orpington :(

She could have impacted crop.

I mixed me medicine in the water, offered to her and she had several drinks!!!

I have one more question: when should I start to see improvement?

If it's coccidiosis you should see some improvement in 2-3 days, not sure about worms. Did you give the wormer orally? If not, you need to.

I'm not sure. I'll check tomorrow morning... Why?

Need to rule out impacted or sour crop.

I assumed you had examined her. An full crop is pretty easy to feel.

Her crop is not swollen. I gave her both meds. I'll keep you all posted!!!

Thank you so much for your enormous help!

I have heard most people say in a day or two. The longer one has coccidiosis, the more damage it can do to the intestines. I would not separate her, keep her with the gang, and treat them all at the same time. That way you won't have another one getting sick in a day or two, then it gets confusing.

She is separated from the rest, but I put the whole flock on meds at the same time, so they are all being treated. It's going to drop to single digit temps overnight, so I want to keep my sick girl cozy in the house.

Sounds good.

Good plan!
