Hello, I posted a week ago about my 2 yr old EE having green watery stools. We tested for parasites and decided to deworm her and 3 other ladies as we thought we saw tapeworm ova on a fecal float. So she came inside and her bum has cleaned up and is now fluffy when I check her. So far we have done the following:
Droncit (praziquantel)@ 2mg/kg orally
Fenbendazol @2mg/kg orally
Both are being repeated on day 10.
Vitamin supplement in the water for 6 days
Apple cider vinegar in water (1tbsp)
Added extra oyster shells to their organic layer ration
She stayed indoor for 4 days until she had a number of normal looking poops along with the weird green ones, but I am still seeing green ones outside. The other 3 hens do not appear to be affected in any way. She is still acting completely normal and is scratching, pecking around in their fenced paddock area off their run enclosure. She will sometimes have a watery green poop then a few moments later do a bum wiggle and have a small shiney brown poop with no urate. (Cecal?)
We are saving their eggs up and cooking and feeding them back every few days since we can't eat them till 2 wks past the last deworming dose. I often add a bit of plain kefir to this for the probiotics.
I'm really stumped here. I can't tell how much layer ration she's eating as they all share a feeder, but she definitely is eating the egg mash when I take it out and I've seen her looking for old scratch in the thawing mud.
Help? Is it possible her liver is going?
