hen still sick
« on: June 26, 2011, 14:23 »
 :( my girl is still unwell giving the antibiotic powder in liquid as suggested, seems to want to eat but cant. I have massaged her crop wich yesturday felt squishy, she has passed a couple of white squits from her rear, eyes still bright, comb red, very slight improvement today but noticable weight loss, what now any suggestions on how to feed her up & make her feel good again?

Can you tempt her with some layers pellets soaked in warm water?  Will she eat anything at all such as meal worms?  I'm sure one of the experts will be along soon to offer some advice.  Good luck with her.

Have tried mealworms, noodles, lettuce, soaked layer pellets she comes to get food, not a sprightly as the other two, but once she gets there doesnt seem to be able to eat I have checked her throat she swollows fine, I am totally miffed & worried. I have read some of the other posts on this site and have seen some owners give porridge oats ?? how is it given or have I got the wrong end of the stick? thank you for your reply

Yes I often give mine oats - made with water like you do with the pellets. Try adding a little chopped garlic to discourage any fungal infection.
