Do try the Epsom salts soak too. They do like it, and it helps reduce inflammation and improve circulation, I think.

My hen is not doing very well. She can't walk anymore and frequently tumbles over forward.

Is there anything I can do?

 

[schnebbles]

I would put her down. How sad. I'm sorry.

 

[ChicknsRock]

I don't think i have the heart to put her down. I'lll give her a chance.

You know what? I would go to the health food store and get the Hypericum...the tiny tabs in the little tube. Not just SJW, but the real hypericum stuff. It's onlly 15.00 or so, if that much, and well worth it, I think. And try her on it. I mean I don't think you have anything to lose!'I If you are that attached to her, it would be worth it. And if she doesn't improve, well, she doesn't. At least you gave her every chance. I am just thinking that maybe the hypericum itself has a different effect than SJW, more concentrated form, maybe. Easy enough to figure out, if you do the research. You will know when enough's enough. And if you don't think you're at that point, then don't give up, keep trying.

I actually do give her the real hypericum. And they are little pills. But thank you for your support.

she has mareks? I know that I knew when I needed to put my silkie down. You will know. I had seen her neck go spaz out kinda weird and I didn't want that to happen and get stuck when I was gone. She never improved when I had her in, only got worse it's so tough.
