counturchickens Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Beaky the ex batt has been with us for a year, and has never been quite right. I had come to the conclusion she might have sterile peritonitis as she does get the waddle from time to time. Recently though she has had more of a runny bottom and isn't quite as perky, although is eating and wandering about. In the last couple of days she has developed a squeak, which sounds like a hiccup. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sorry haven't got any suggestions but didn't like to just read and run! I hope you get someone with more experience along soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Could be a cough. I'd listen to her breathing by putting your ear against her back and listening for rattles. If she's bright and ok it's probably not. Would gape worm give that symptom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I wondered about gape worm. If so am I better getting some invermectin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Flubenvet double dose is appropriate if you have that. I'm not sure what the other signs might be but you can google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
