Hello

 

One of my ladies is poorly and of course it is too late for the vet tonight. She was absolutely fine this morning but is now miserable, hunched up and has just had a very watery, yellow flecked (not foamy) poo. I've been very fortunate over the last year in that they have all been fine. In the meantime, is there anything helpful I can do? Thanks in advance.

Have you wormed them recently?

[Woodchick]

They had some Verm-ex only today (the first day). She looks really unhappy but doesn't seem in pain and has eaten a little and had a sip or two of water. She is in the nest box now.

sorry to hear of your 1st illness.

Also sorry to report that most people don't rate vermex much despite it's claims. and maybe best thought of as preventative than cure,

Most use flubenvet. this WILL kill worms.

She may have a softee on the way & be fine if she passes it by or in the morning.

fingers crossed.

I would recommend Flubenvet rather than Vermex. I found the latter to be useless.

Thanks everybody. We shall see how it goes overnight. If there is no improvement by tomorrow she will be off to the vets and in any event I shall invest in some flubenvet. Have already googled suppliers. Once again, thanks.
