ClaudetteDay Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 my chicken sookie, was recently very unwell. we took her to the vets for some antibiotics. and now..after a week of the antibiotics, she's going bald. she's losing so many feathers. she's eating and drinking. is it due to stress? do we need to take her to the vets? any advice would be much appreciated.

Redwing Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Are you sure she isnt simply just moulting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Agree with Redwing.. As long as shes ok in herself then theres no need taking her to the vets over a moult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudetteDay Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 thanks guys. that is a relief. she does seem to be fine..health wise (apart from the balding of course). we did see her peck herself once...but it was just that one occasion. but poor sookie really is beginning to go bald. she's lost a lot of feathers. but they seem to be growing back all white and fluffy. so hopefully everything will turn out alright. many thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
