How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[HENthusiastic]

Hi.

One of my chicks appears to have a HUGE poo stuck! She keeps stopping and straining but the poo won't come out. Its just sticking out of her vent.

SHould I / can I do anything to help her?

 

She seems ok. Shes eating and drinking and is running around. Every now and again she stands still, closes her eyes and looks like she is straining.

 

Unsure of her exact age, because I didn't hatch her, but I think shes less than a week.

Sounds like what is known as vent pasting.

 

You need to clean its botty regularly and make sure it has plenty of water to drink.

soak it off with some warm water, the quicker you act the better on this - what ever you do don't pick at it or pull it

 

Once the blockage is removed it should be fine

One botty cleaned. Thanks for the advice. Mum is a complete tyrant and attacked me viciously! She actually drew blood! Hope I dont have to do that often.
