Donna C Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Can anyone think what is wrong with my girl. She lays every day but her crop is never full, but not squishy either. She hardly eats her grain although will happily eat worms etc.she I worked, powdered for mites and I regulary spray her bum with pigeon spray for feather mite. But she seems lathargic,puffed up. She is only 1 1/2. Please ,has anyone got any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Has she been wormed? If so, do you use Flubenvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna C Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yes,use flubenvet every 3-4 months and keep eye on poohs etc. I also stal f the ground each week, I 'm really worried and can't think what I 'm doing wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Well you have covered the obvious bases which is good If she is laying that rules out a few problems too It sounds like she is being pulled down by something, maybe a virus or something wrong internally I'm sorry to say I'd suggest a visit to a vet You could try separating her off in a nice warm place for a few days, a cage in a garage or ventilated shed would be ok if you cant bring her in to the house (mine go in a box in the corner of my kitchen or living room but not everyone is blesses with a hubby that doesnt mind!) feed her some pellets mashed up in warm water, this will be quite easy on her digestive system. A good tonic may help If you dont want to separate her then keep her with the others but maybe add some tonic to their water, they will probably moult soon so it will be beneficial anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna C Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Thanks redwing, I only have two so don't want to seperate, what tonic would you recommend? I've tried warm water with the pellets, witabix mixed in and worms but she doesn't seem interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 In view of all you are doing, the fact that she is still poorly makes me think you should take her to the vet as Redwing suggests. Lifeguard is a good tonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
