I have a Barred Rock hen about 1.5yo that was exhibiting some runny stool about a 2 weeks ago, but was otherwise acting normally. Noticed an uptick in poop covered feather around her vent, so more closely inspected. Found a wound above her vent (unclear on the cause) that I cleaned with vetericyn spray after removing some of the poop caked feathers to prevent further contamination. Immediately isolated her inside and for the last 5 days up to today she had been acting reasonably well, but was still having a lot of runny poop. This morning she appears to have taken a turn and is extremely lethargic and appears to not have balance. The wound above her vent has scabbed/healed over, but her stool is now far more runny and she does not appear interested in eating/drinking at all. I have added a vitamin supplement to her water and provided yogurt to eat based on other advice.
Looking for care advice and/or a potential vet in my area (Collierville, TN) if its worth it. I haven't been able to find a care provider that handles poultry through my searches.
