Vent Gleet and Worms

[Efletch]

I have a 3 year old hen who I believe has vent gleet and definitely has worms. I've been treating her for 3 days with warm Epsom salt baths and trying to keep her vent clean then today I noticed the worms around her vent after the bath. I have photos of the worm and her vent but I'm not sure how to post. Wondering if she needs dewormer and what else I can do for her. I'm in a very remote area, no chicken vets. Worms were about half inch long, white, segmented, not flat, not skinny. Thanks for any help, I feel bad for her.

Figured out how to post the photos (doh).

Sorry about your chicken here is a link for a dewormer: https://www.chewy.com/homeovet-avia...lZaPcTAN_Vu_6Gb5ip1tYA6N167aTFDBoCk8QQAvD_BwE

Depending on where you are I would recommend bringing her to your local vet. This is a serious problem and if not treated quickly and correctly can be very harmful.

I recommend buying the de wormer for get rid of parasites and worms. Make sure to feed her some grit. It will help with digestion. Hold off on the treats and feed her probiotics in her water every once and a while for vent gleet. You may have to separate her from the rest of the flock. Make sure to give her clean water to avoid bacteria growing inside her. You also may have to remove her from the rest of the flock. I am so sorry and hope someone else can help you more!

Thanks, I've called the vet and they don't treat chickens or know anyone local who does. It's a remote, rural area.

She has maggots eating her. It's called fly strike. Not what needs a dewormer.

You need to get tweezers and pick all the maggots off her. Does she have an injury back there?

Listen to kiki for sure. Don’t use the dewormer I gave the link to. She is most likely right.
