Vent Gleet

[Wyorp Rock]

If she will drink electrolytes, I would give her those for 1 day.

I'm sorry she's still not doing well.
It sounds like she's having reproductive issues. The panting may be stress or pain - hard to know which if it's not hot.

Yep, I think it was Eggcessive who said it might be reproductive problems. Maybe I should let her be and make her as comfortable as I can.
Thanks again.

I'm so sorry she's not doing well.
I think you have done all you can do at this point. See how she does over the next few days.

Thanks. You have been kind, helpful and patient with me. I couldn't have managed to be in Crazytown without your guidance... Chicken had a fairly normal BM this morning so Im taking that as a good sign.

Normal poop is good! We take what we can get LOL

You have done all the work! I really wish I knew more, it can be frustrating when they aren't dong well.

I have survived three spinal cord injuries in my life. All non-traumatic, all somewhat related so I don't give up very easily which often is a curse. Nite.

Can you please post some photos of the hen and her vent?
What symptoms of Vent Gleet are you seeing?

I would continue to apply the anti-fungal cream if that's what you have been doing.
Make sure her crop is empty first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks.
Keep water stations cleaned.

Not sure about Epsom Salts being syringed into her - that's usually a "remedy" for crop issues.

You ask about Nu Stock and how much to give...It is meant to be applied Topically - not given orally, so if that's something you wish to use, apply a small amount to the reddened skin.

Wyorp Rock. My hen is sick again
she has been doing so well. Now the last few days I see the yellow milky goo coming from her vent. She is constantly crying, it seems even when she isn’t trying to poop. It makes me so sad.

I don’t know what to do? should I start treating her again?

I'm sorry that she's started to decline again
Can you feel for an egg?

I can’t feel anything like an egg. Her crop is emptied by morning.
this morning I cleaned the area with Betadine and put some antibiotic ointment in and around the area.

Is she still straining and having a hard time pooping?
I would speculate that she's got infection and possible lash material she's trying to pass, but it's so hard to know.
