Suspected vent gleet now chicken is dead :(

[Csmith03]

Hello I had 3 silkies and in the last week one got ill with what looked like vent gleet and sadly she has now died. Today one of my other ones is limping. Hoping it isn't related but worried they will both get whatever it was and also die



I bought Diflucan to give to the 2 just in case they do have the same yeast issue and am wondering the proper safe dose thanks

I have 2 left and the one is still limping. The vet had no idea what was wrongShe's cuddling with the other one that's left. I've noticed they aren't eating much of their feed anymore

How old are they?

7 months

Silkies can sometimes be fragile. At 7 months they are probably done growing so their feed consumption would drop down.
