we think our hen is dying

[little blue]

we just brought her inside an put her in a room with a fan to see if maybe it is heat stoke she did not want any more pedilte but she has taken about 15-20cc of it in the last 1-2 hours we will just have to wait an see if she starts to come around.there was some watery poop in the coop but they were on corid about a week ago so the watery poop maybe from them drinking to much.just a wait an see game now will keep you all posted.

now that she is inside she seems to have some clear drool coming out of her mouth her head is hanging down when she drools.any guesses.

she still is not acting like herself and she is not moveing all that is moveing is her feet and sometimes her wing. any guesses help

 

[little blue]

We found an article that described the way she was acting and said it might be a blockage and to hold her upside down stroking her chest so we tried that and she went poop but it was all dark brown liquid and it smelt very fowl like sour/rotten smelling she also vomited what looked like clear thick very stringy mucous. When I put her down she got up and tried to walk, but really just flopped over several times. She is now back resting quietly in her cage.

[drdoolittle]

I wish there was something I could do or tell you that would help.

Your daughter looks so sad in that picture. I hope everything turns out o.k.-----I know what it feels like to have an animal that is declining, and you don't know what to do to help it. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying for you all.

 

[little blue]

yea we dont think she is going to make it through the night i hope she dose

 

[jjthink]

Urgently search under sour crop and see if you think symptoms match.

Every minute to her must seem an eternity - very sad.

she dose not have sour crop she is too young to lay eggs

 

[BackToMyRoots]

I'm not sure that being too young to lay eggs prevents sour crop. Were you thinking of egg binding or internal laying, perhaps?

I hope she improves soon and am sorry this is happening to you and your daughter.
