    HELP - Lethargic Hen, Refusing Water, with No Other Obvious Symptoms

    We've had four day's of Nutri-drench. She fights me more everyday, which I guess could be good that she's not so weak she's giving up. It doesn't seem like she's getting better though. I was wondering, how many days I can continue to give her the rapid response dose. Her dose by weight is...

    HELP - Lethargic Hen, Refusing Water, with No Other Obvious Symptoms

    Yesterday I noticed her star gazing a little while sleeping. This and her balance and walking issues brought me back to suspecting a thiamine deficiency. I'm not sure how she would have become deficient, other than the small dose of dewormer, but it does fit all of her symptoms well, and I did...

    HELP - Lethargic Hen, Refusing Water, with No Other Obvious Symptoms

    Petunia is hanging in there. I brought her outside with me for most of the day, and she was very alert and happy to be outside. She ate a lot, chatted off and on, had some small but healthier looking poops, and even took a sip of water. She’s making a frown in her picnic picture, but she often...

    True, maybe worrying and monitoring her so closely has me expecting her to eat and drink more than she usually would.

    New observation - I was just feeding her some grubs, and I floated some in her water to try to trick her. She snatched one out and then put it down when she realized it was wet. She tried a couple more times and any time she got any water, she would pause, and eventually stood up like she was...

    HELP - Lethargic Hen, Refusing Water, with No Other Obvious Symptoms

    Thank you for your reply! She's about the same, maybe a little weaker. Her little chirps at me seem a little more laboured. She has eaten two slices of watermelon, and working on a third. They're fairly small pieces though. In between pieces I've also gotten her to eat some pellets, but she...

    HELP - Lethargic Hen, Refusing Water, with No Other Obvious Symptoms

    I'm stumped. Other than being lethargic and refusing water and most food, she seems fine. Hen: Light Brahma, 4 years old, named Petunia. She has lost weight recently, but in general is a pretty big lady due to her breed. She's the boss of our little backyard flock. She lays tan eggs so it's...
