Very poorly chicken

Recommended Posts

Meva is my 2 year old Crested Cream Leg Bar. Always been in rude health until Thursday. Thursday she was quiet and under the weather, with creamy diarrhoea. Friday I took her to the vet. She had an injection of Amoxycare and he wormed her. Yesterday she seemed about the same, but all along I have been able to tempt her with meal worm, porridge oats and I made up the convalescent diet of natural yoghurt, apple sauce and porridge oats and she did eat some. By yesterday evening she seemed a lot lot brighter, she ate some scrambled egg, and some sun flower seeds and mealworms. And by the time I put them to bed, she was running to the gate again, looking for food and looking almost back to normal. Droppings firmer although quite green.

 

This morning I thought she was easy to catch for her second antibiotic injection and since then she has gone rapidly downhill. She wont even look at mealworms now and she has put herself in the nest box. She is back to the creamy watery diarrhoea too

 

I know I have done all I could, but it would have been easier if she had just gone. The vet said if she is still alive in 24 hours she stood a good chance and she was and I thought she did, but now I think I will lose her
