1) What type of bird , age and weight: Serama, 1 week old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly: She periodically makes a 'trilling' noise like she is in pain, I assume when she goes potty.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms: 1+ day
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms: no
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma: No.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation: she had a bit of pasty butt yesterday but it was very minor, I don't think it was even enough to block her
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all: Plain water and 20% medicated chick starter made into a 'wet' mash
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc: normal
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?: Just cleaned her poopy butt yesterday, which seemed like it helped then. Today she has started making this noise again
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?: Treat myself
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use: Right now they are still on a towel in the brooder. The only 'bedding' is feed scratched out of their bowl
