Suddenly sick girl

[Goingone]

Excessive has good advice. I'd like to add a few more things..Treat her for cocci again. She will probably not drink enough so tube water or use a syringe to dribble it in the side of her beak. Give her a wet mash made from feed. You can hide some of the Elytes or Nutri Drench, or dribble it the same way She needs that.

Check her for an i mpacted egg. Check her crop for food not going down. If all else fails use Tylan injectable. , give 3/4 to one ml shot per day .for 5 days. That's my routine if they don't go to the vet.

IMO if you have chickens, try to have some sort of feeding tube on hand, (male foleys, or aquarium tubing, etc. and some syringes, 1 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml , 20 ml, and 30 ml. or any of them. Eventually you will need something with chickens and it's better to make sure you have the tools to be accurate and make sure they get the meds they're supposed to.

I myself keep Corrid and Tylan injectable in my fridge {after 15 yrs, I like having it available.).
Chickens can have Cocci without symptoms or blood. At any age . A poultry vet called me one day about a necropsy I sent and gave me a good lecture of how chickens should be treated for Cocci twice a year, as well as being wormed.
My necropsy results have included deaths from 1. Aspergillosis, 1. cappalaria (sp) worms and e. coli. 1 rare liver disease (vet called me) , 3 sisters from something like C. Diff- just looked healthy, then just bled out overnight ! 1. from a diagnosed infected bite, although I disagree, the silkie roo one morning had a black swollen face, somewhat crushed head, and slime covering his head and neck. My thoughts were a snake tried to eat him, swallowed part of him and changed his mind. The slimed head and neck and black face overnight .
All allowed e. coli to invade as well.
I just tell my experiences. No guesses.

Ok, she is eating & drinking well. Has been having probiotic water during the day & Pedialyte during the evening. The Corid arrived yesterday afternoon, it’s 9.6 oral. So, starting with this morning’s water: 2tsp in 1gal water for 5 days, then 1/2tsp in water for 7 days. Is that a correct dosage? Also, starting today she’ll get the probiotic water but in the evening waterer only when she comes in at the evenings. The Nutridense arrived yesterday as well but I don’t think I should give her that until the Corid treatment is complete right?

That Corid dosage is fine. Only give her Corid water as her only source of water. You can save the probiotics and Poultry NutriDrench for later when the Corid is finished. Corid is not an antibiotic, so the probiotics can wait. So is she up and walking around, and not lying flat out as before?

She is doing fantastic, thank you for asking She was much better after the very first day on the Corid water. This is the evening of the 4th day on it and she’s doing fantastic!
