Very bloated chicken help

[spankyleatherlips]

The withdrawal period for Panacur AquaSol for pig meat and offal is four days. The withdrawal period for chicken meat and offal is six days for the 1 mg fenbendazole/kg dose and nine days for the 2 mg fenbendazole/kg dose. The withdrawal period for eggs is zero days.

Update, not worms, leaning toward vent gleet or maybe advanced ascites. I manually checked for an egg 2-3 days ago, but didn't feel anything internally. I started doing with ACV and trying to get her to eat yogurt. But she is pretty far gone today.

1 mg fenbendazole/kg

That dose is 0.0045 ml per pound, or ~0.023 ml per five pounds

2 mg fenbendazole/kg dose.

That dose is 0.009 ml per pound, or ~0.045 ml per five pounds

2 ml for my smaller banty chicken (2 to 3 pounds-ish).
.4 ml for my 4 to 5 pounds-ish hens.
.6 ml for my larger girls -- about 6 to 7 pounds-ish.

Those amounts require both egg and meat withdrawal.

So sorry. If she is bloated and thin, I think you're right, it probably is ascites. How thin is she?

Very thin. It totally sucks because I could never catch her when I noticed she wasn't acting quite right weeks ago. She even roosted up high in the rafters that I couldn't pluck her off when she was roosting. Of course now she doesn't even fight me, she is just sitting/laying eyes half closed. It was a quick downhill.
