Thanks everybody, I'm at work now, but she was standing and drinking some water when I left....

Im hopeful I see an improvement in her and dont find her dead when I get home.

I took some poop samples from her papers in the cage to bring to the vet if I can later or tomorrow....

How is Ariel doing?

 

[LauraG]

She is about the same---

But she is alive!

She wont eat anything on her own but BOSS....I have been syringe feeding her a Flock Raiser warm gruel and still giving her Corid. I cannot tube her on my own

She is drinking.

Her poop is still yellow/ with one big splat of green diarrhea yesterday. Im going to try to get a fecal sample to the vet today.

I think I may let her see her friends today in some fresh air, supervised of course... I dont want them to totally shun her IF she ever recovers.....

Thanks for thinking of me!!!!

I said a prayer for her last night for you. Let us know how she is doing. give her special hugs and kisses from all of us.

You might want to give electrolytes, ie gatoraid. It really helps and will perk them up fast. Had a chick once we were driving 9 hours, started out cold & non responsive, gave gatoraid sips to every 15 min nad 2 hours later she was a normal little girl again. FYI that was in May, and she just laid her first egg yesterday. Good Luck

Thank you so much for saying a prayer for her fishnet 1971 - that means alot to us!!


Took a stool sample to the vet. Negative for coccidia. Not suprised.

He wanted me to talk to the folks at Cornell so he brought me in his office and called them. Of course, they had to take his number and call him back...ugh...
Havent heard back from him

He said he was suprised she was still alive.

I am giving her electrolytes as well.

I also gave her some liquid B12 today too.....

We'll see.......

I hope your feathered friend recovers, it sure is hard...

Who knows, if you are lucky you might wind up with a house chicken. She is beautiful
