POORLY BIRD - ADVICE PLEASE
« on: April 27, 2011, 10:03 »
One of my Wynadotte in lay pullets is poorly this morning. She is opening her beak repeatedly as though she is trying to swallow something stuck.
Her crop is empty.
I have given her a little vegetable oil in case it is something stuck, and she swallowed that fine.
I have gently massaged down her neck and crop.
As luck (or sods law) would have it I started the flock on a course of Flubenvet yesterday. I am, of course, worried that she has gapeworm, I have had her only since 14th April. The other pullet I bought from the same hatch is fine.

Any suggestions about helping her or any other reasons there might be for her symptoms gladly received.
3 o'clock is both too early and too late to start anything - Sartre said so.

Gapeworm is my thoughts, is she taking the layers with the flubenvet? Also make sure she is drinking plenty.
