chickenlady Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 After some more advice please. Had my new baby girls for two weeks on Friday, so they will be about 12 weeks. But one of them (not sure which one ) has blood in her poo. I have look on the lovely poo chart http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 and on the whole it looks like the shedding of the lining. But today looks like more of the abnormal poo!! Solid but with wet blood, but this had soaked into the news paper. Love them all already and hate to think one of them is poorly..They all seem well and are eating and drinking. So I guess my question is what should I do ? Should I add a tonic to the water or get something more stronger? Hope someone can help...many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It might still be gut lining, but it could also be coccidiosis. Are there any other symptoms? Have they been on medicated (with ACS) chick crumb and growers pellets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlady Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 No others symptons. They all seem really happy eat out of our hand and drinking. Not sure what chick crumb there were on but I have them on Wiggle Wigglers growers pellets with has bran in and I have added garlic...Do need to worm them aswell was going to order stuff this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 They shouldn't really need worming at 12 weeks. I would be thinking more along the lines of coccidiosis too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would assume coccidiosis and treat accordingly. My big girls have it and sounds just like you....I thought stomach lining and left it....then the blood appeared now touch and go with one of them due to a prolapse caused by the coccidiosis. Keep going with the yogurt as this is supposed to help line the stomach.....I would also clean and disinfect everything and remove the poorly one from the rest. Some sites also recommend using dicotimous earth (spelling awful I know) in their feed as this helps as well. I would get to a Vet asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
