She has egg yolk peritonitis. She is not doing well, im trying anything at this point.. I don't know if she will survive the night.. I've never dealt with this disease or antibiotic before so I'm in the dark.
I don't have anything injectable other than the dura and she won't eat or drink, at least not in front of me. I'm going to just go for it with the duramycin if I can find a dosage and hope it helps in some way. She's one of my oldest and favorite hens ☹.
So is it worth using if it will give her severe muscle necrosis? Can I do it SubQ to avoid that happening? TSC was sold out of penicillin which is what I usually use, she's got a bad infection and needs antibiotics asap.
I went to TSC and they were out of all penicillin. They don't have amoxicillin. I did get a bottle of Duramycin 72-200 Oxytetracyclin, I've never used this type of antibiotic before. Do you know the dosage? Or if it's SubQ or IM? Thanks
I've got a 5 year old BCM hen, i noticed yesterday she is very lethargic and not eating or drinking. She has yellowish white diarrhea around her vent, but pooping very little. Her bottom in between her legs and below her vent is swollen, squishy, hot, and bright red. She is pretty weak but can...
Dumor Layer pellet and free range. 4-5 years idk when she last laid. Crop is pretty much empty and squishy. No Sign of ascites she's too underweight for that to be missed. She was doing terribly that night but yesterday improved somewhat and today is still ill but not on deaths door. I have been...
Hello, I have a very weak rapidly declining hen. She's an English Orpington and usually is quite fat and heavy but I picked her up and she's 3lbs if that. I couldn't tell because of the fluff. She's very weak and has green smelly diarrhea. I suspect worms but I don't really know. Yesyerdau was...
It was about the size of a quarter. Intestinal lining seems more fleshy, this is literally just clearish pink goo. Like Ghostbusters goo. I am going to start corid treatment just in case though.
I've had some of those too and there's really nothing you can do. If she's chipper she most likely doesn't have a serious one, and will fix it herself. I had a chick that was stepped on by her mother (a 16 lb lady with big dinosaur feet) the poor thing make a squishy squeak and looked dazed, but...
Yes, but research the dosage for a chicken and look into if it's a SubQ or Intramuscular. If it's Intramuscular inject into the breast muscle or thigh. Make sure you haven't put the needle in a vein. If it's too intimidating you can ask the vet to do it, but I've only ever used internal...
