sandyhas3chucks Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If a poorly chook is showing some of the symptoms, has seen a good but not Avian specialist vet, would he be able to see the parasite under his microscope or does a sample need to be sent some where? Is retfords the ONLY lab that does testing, there is a vet test lab very near my home though have no idea what they test generally. Would a pooh sample test show if her liver is failing? Just don't know what to do fo the best, if I knew what I was dealing with it might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi Sandy, Can't answer all your questions, but I would have thought that a blood test is the only way to determine liver function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 yes of course. See I am not thinking straight. I had to get her up this morning, her crop still full & bigger than previously as she actually ate more. However decided to syringe water in her. WATER warm & Avipro in syringe & she was gasping for a drink. getting on for 1/4 pint in an hour dripped into beak, she wont drink from a bowl, but she is loving the dripping in. Now I don't know whether to JUST get water through her & flush her out or offer cucumber & bokashi. Bokashi being the onlt dry food she will eat.
