Treating Diarrhea

[RhodeIslandRed5]

I understand you getting tired and stressed. Hang in there. Your girl needs you and you are doing your best. It is hot here to, 93; my girls are panting. I'm wondering if it may not hurt to put an ice cube in her water? Course, I wouldn't do that unless an expert said it was ok. @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive what are your thoughts on cooling her down?

I've been giving her cool baths in the evenings to cool her off and that does seem to maker her more alert, but then the next day she is back to just sleeping and laying around.

I would to in this heat. Maybe get some of those large plug-in fans and point them towards your coop to help make a breeze?

I just bathed her again and she wont stand up at all. She has laid in the run all day, I picked her up and put her in bath, she wouldnt even stabs up in the tub, she always does. I put her back in the run and she almost fell over on her side, I had to lay or lean her against the wall. This isnt looking good. I just wish I knew what it was....

Start giving vitamins.

 

[Lisa-Lu]

I cant get water or anything in her now. Her comb is turning black and drooped over, she wont open her eyes and her breathing is very labored and slow. If she doesnt pass peacefully soon, dh will end her life in the morning. I'm heartbroken, again.

Oh no, I am so sorry. @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock where are you guys? What's wrong here?

 

[Lisa-Lu]

Thank you for trying. She passed peacefully on her own. My first chicken loss and I'm having a hard time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard to lose something you try so hard to take care of when it's suffering. I went through the same thing with my rabbit years ago. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to hear about your pullet Losing them can be hard.

If you want to find out what was causing her illness, refrigerate the body and send it to your state lab for testing/necropsy. https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/animals-animal-health-laboratory-services.shtml
