The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

[DwayneNLiz]

usually when fowl pox goes into wet pox it becomes a dangerous virus because it can kill the bird due to the respiratory infection that it causes. Have you noticed any coughing sneezing nasal discharge wheezing or rattling in the chest? If there is a respiratory infection you will need to treat it with antibiotics. other than that you will need to continue providing supportive care. Give them some vitamin mineral electrolyte mix in their water, good food, clean bedding, keep them warm and dry. I would like to see some pictures of the ones with what you believe to be wet pox.

good information as always!

I would also like to point out that if there are any cankers in their throats you will want to remove those as well @MilleFleur7

He's a lone Ducking all his siblings died due to neglect of the owner. The duckling was found close to death and I've been taking care of him as best I possibly can. I'm not sure the temperature because I've been using a normal yellow light bulb (I'm really not sure the watts) during the day and a water bottle that I wake up and reheat at night.

I don't think I've given enough niacin which I started giving today and hopefully helps. Poop has been solid but wet, normal looking and regular pooping. I'll try post a picture to follow. I'm just worried. He was fine yesterday. Running around, swimming (warm water and dried off after.) I've been as careful as I can be doing everything I can to help

you need to figure out the temp, also what is he eating? what % protein?

Swollen abdomen pic 3)
Legs wide apart yesterday (4th pic)
1) What type of bird , age and weight isla Brown cross; 3Yrs old, feels very skinny except abdomen and quite heavy because of abdomen
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Standing around, not eating much, a little apart from flock.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Around a week
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? NO
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. NO
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. Unknown
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. water, mash, insects
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. mostly very running. Very occasionally firm
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Oil around her vent and slightly inside (4 days ago)
Warm bath 4 days ago and today
Colloidal silver via a dropper 3 times a day for 4 days.
She is up and down. I thought she was responding, her abdomen was cooler (but not cool) but she's back to mooching around the yard. I bring her in most nights.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? I want to fix her myself if at all possible. I think the prognosis is bad so unwilling to fork out $110 for starters...
Thanks for this thread.
