Treating for salpingitis - ok to use probiotic?

[Kiki]

I will do that, these are my first chickens and I thought I was taking good care, clean the coop every day good food, clean water. I feel awful about this. So she is going to die?

Do you have a thread about your bird?
I have no idea what you're dealing with.

I don't know, this site is new to me. I was given two beautiful Rhode Island Red hens for my birthday in Sept. I built them an awesome coop and I have been taking care of them, clean the coop every day, feed them good food , not scratch, they have clean bowls of water all over my yard. Today I found this thing in my coop when the girls went in to lay.
I freaked out and called my neighbor who has chickens, she posted it on facebook and I was told it was lash leg. They are not yet 2 years old. they are big healthy girls, I don't know what I did wrong to have caused this. I'm reading she will die with or with antibiotics.
My heart is broken...

Hello fellow flock keepers! A while back, I posted a thread with concerns with a hen who was laying rubber eggs and had diarrhea with some worms. Treated for worms. Turned out to be salpingitis (she layed a lash egg ) . Thankfully, there is an avian vet in the area, as well as an avian lab. My hen was seen today, and given antibiotics -- for 28 days! That is a long time, and 90 pills.

Any experienced advise for a tried and true probiotic supplement to help her through the next month?

I will confess, I feel a bit like I have failed as a chicken keeper, that I must dose this hen for 28 days. I really thought the rubber eggs were due to worms, so I wormed her.

Rubber eggs and diarrhea are symptoms of MANY issues, and I was not experienced enough to know what was what. The lash egg provided all the evidence needed to know she is very sick - though she acts like she feels like a million bucks since she passed it. Any hope that she will make it is in 2 bottles of chemicals that I will administer for the next month. Fingers are crossed. I have so much care in my heart, that I will do whatever I can to help her out. I did not see that coming when I started keeping chickens either -- just how much I care about each and every one.

Can you tell me the dose of Doxy? One of my chicks stopped laying 2 weeks ago, except for dropping an egg from the roost and today laid an egg and Lashegg, totally looked like a whole egg with no shell, with a reddish brown lump. I have Doxy from my dog, think I can use that? how did you get her to eat the meds?

Thank you!
