    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Unfortunately she passed this evening. She continued to get more and more paralyzed. She lost more and more appetite but was dranking more and more. She was in a sling during the day as she had lost all ability to hold her body upright over the last few days. She seemed comfortable but started...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    She appeared to make a pretty much full recovery, her poops were almost normal. Brown/white but just small and sort of watery. She was eating more and more solid foods. But then yesterday morning took a huge step back and I have no clue why: back on her hocks, can’t walk, falling and refused to...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    lots of improvement, I think she will fully recover. She is walking again. Shes slightly shakey at times but doing very well. Her prolapse and vent gleet seems to be fully healed. I continue to put polysporin on the sore below her vent and spray Vetericyn Plus. Her appetite improves every day...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Slight improvement today. Her leg issue seems to be about balance/strength not paralysis. If I put light pressure under her backside she walks perfectly fine up on her feet. She is trying to “roost” on things. She is laying down on her hocks and mostly walks on her hocks if she has no...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Gave her half a pill of the b complex, hopefully theres some improvement with it. I do think the gabepentin is helping pain wise, she seems less puffed up and more lively despite not being able to get around. She has a few more days of antibiotics as well. Her temperature seems normal now , she...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    No I only thought of this last night and only have selenium and poly vi sol on hand but il grab some human b complex. Fingers crossed this is just nutrient deficiency and weakness from her not independently for so many days

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    She is falling backwards on her hocks continuously while flapping her wings. I will put her in a sling. Something neurological going on. Mereks seems more and more the cuprit. She is beside the radiator though? The house is heated with propane. It shouldn’t give off any toxins but maybe...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    I gave 25mg of gabapentin with the antibiotics this evening. Still no real change but hoping it helps overnight for pain. Not eating on her own. However force feeds have eliminated the green/water poops. They are now slightly watery but a normal brown & white. Her balance seems to have taken a...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    I am reading asprin has to be near fatal doses to have notable pain relief for chickens. On top of not being recommended for internal bleeding because of the blood thinning. I have left over gabapentin, Anyone tried that? Google says its used for pain relief in chickens. I have some 100 mg...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Not much change today. No more blood, still poor appetite. While applying her ointments to her vent today there was another little chunk of dead grey tissue she was trying to pass. It was unattached and came out. Hoping this dead tissue does not cause further internal issues. I force fed balls...

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Yes once its been Blood free for a few days I will give her the asprin. Suprisingly her crop is like 1/2 full from the small 3ml force feeds im giving. Must be mostly water shes got in there. For now maybe I try crumble balls with nutridrench may be easier than a syringe

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    I suspect she is hurting, I haven’t given pain killers due to the bleeding. I will though once I know she is no longer at risk of bleeding. Thats a great idea, I will see if the pet store nearby sells that

    Vent gleet/prolapse/abscess? What am I missing

    Prolapse stayed in all day! Bleeding has stopped. Still has diarrhea. Back to watery green poops (however they’re actually coming out properly and not leaking down her backside), I imagine its consistency and colour is from lack of food. Still not eating her crumble/solids but will eat yogurt...
