HELP, very sick hen

[ArraAchicksMama]

I have bought Valbazen at TSC before, not sure if there is a store near your location.

Is there a vet nearby that could run a fecal test to check for worms?

I would also suggest an epsom salt soak and calcium citrate + vitamin D tablet administration as soon as possible in case she may be eggbound. Available at Walmart. The tablets can be broken in half and given orally.

Even if she’s been vaccinated for coccidia, it may be helpful to treat with Corid? Someone fact check me if I am wrong with this.

I am not a vet. I hope any of this is helpful to you.

Hopefully others will weigh in with further insight.

Do you know if she may be contagious? Infectious to the flock? I have 34 other chickens I can't afford to get sick.

Reproductive infections are not usually contagious. But if they are left untreated, they become chronic and very difficult to treat successfully. You may need to ask a vet for a prescription.

If I have to take her to a Vet, we'll just cull her at this point.

Can I get Amoxicillin over the counter somewhere? Vet isn't an option

Can I get Amoxicillin OTC somewhere? Vet isn't an option at the moment.

Fish Mox is the only thing I’m aware of that doesn’t require a prescription.

Have you tried epsom salt soak and calcium citrate + vitamin d yet?

Never tried, but maybe a telehealth vet?

So mix the calcium citrate, vit D and Epsom salt in a bath?

Can my hen have this Fish Mox?

Just epsom salt and lukewarm water in a sink or bathtub or plastic tub deep enough to submerge her vent.

Calcium and vitamin D orally.

I have no experience with the Fish Mox, but I’ve read that it is available without a prescription and that others have used it. Not sure how effective it is, but amoxicillin is amoxicillin.

How is your hen doing today? You doing okay?

Apparently no stores in my area sell the Fish Amoxicillin or any Amoxicillin in that matter so I don't have that one. I just got Safe guard aqua sol. She's eating and grazing but still weak and not herself. Pooping the same color.
