So, I have done all I can do without taking to the vet. have a hard time spending over $100 dollars on a chicken that I bought for $1.25. but anyways here is what I have done and the symptoms.
at first symptoms she would not eat. After giving her selmet I think it's called she starting eating again and regular poop after a couple days. Thought it might be cocci. She is a adult chicken. Stopped after 6 days per the bottle she has not gotten worse from what I can tell. I have also been giving vit. and electrolytes.
Symptoms
little to no apittite
sleeps most of the day
when I wake her up she is barely able to stand up
one eye usually shut and cloudy( thought this might be one of the others pecked her)
comb is light pink lacking color
poop was runny but now solid after meds
Have thought about worming her but just seems like she wouldn't be this sick if she had worms and the feed store said don't worm a sick chicken unless your sure it's worms.
She has been sick for almost 2 weeks. She WAS with other birds about 4 days before I really figured out she was sick. She is by herself now. No other problems with my other 4.
Thinking it might be just some freak thing, bad liver, cancer or something?
She is about 9 months old.
Thanks for any imput.
