Watery poo, laying down, ruffled feathers! 2 vets and no help!

[NewportChicken]

Her symptoms now are. Gasping, weight loss, 80% water poo, ruffled feathers. .... her last dose of Fenbendazole was today. Her fecal float should be ready tomorrow. She has been on Amox, Baytril, and Fenbendazole.
Please hurry with advise... She is losing weight fast!
Thank you!

Gasping is often a sign the dying process has started. If she is still alive in the morning I thing you should go back to the vet and have them show you how to give fluids and tube feed.

Fingers crossed for you.

She is not gasping for air she is making a yawning motion. Sorry I meant gaping. Has been doing this off and on for a few days. She eats likes a piggy and drinks too.

I wormed her with Fenbendazole. Last dose today. To soon to dose again. I'm crossing my fingers

Your bird(s) may have Coccidia. consider this. Generic for Alabon. works with dogs as well but you have to dilute it differently. Chickens 1 oz of liquid to 2 gallons of water, for turkeys 4 gallons of water.

Have you considered gape worm?
Or infectious laryngotracheltis , both have symptoms of gasping and outstretched neck and loss of weight.

If your goose had capillary worms, so does your chickens. They not only infect the digestive tract, they also infect the crop and esophagus as evidenced by all the symptoms you're seeing. I hope you followed Casportpony's advice in post #14.

Fenbendazole is especially effective in ruminants as they have a reservior in the rumen that allows the fenbendazole to metabolize before being passed through the system. Dogs cats and birds lack this reservoir and so they require a higher dosage and more frequent for it to be effective ( otherwise the best portion of it is pooped out )This is why vets recommend it be dosed over a period of days. In birds fenbendazole is not even detectable in the blood 36 hrs after administration.
So castorpony's recommendation of dosage over 5 consecutive days is good advice.
