Sazzle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi Would really appreciate some advice. For a month or so our bluebell has been laying very fragile eggs sometimes open at the bottom. Now she has very messy stools and her bum is very messy Today I've noticed an unusual looking poo in the roost. Looks like it has blood in She's eating and drinking and active. Help Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Normal questions Sazzle...how old is she, when were they last wormed and what with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazzle Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thanks for coming back to me. We got her at POL in October. She was wormed with flubivent at easter. I've given her a "bath" to clean her bottom and noticed she's quite bald under there. Feel really bad that I've missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 IT probably is worth worming again. Other than that it's difficult to know what's going on with such non specific symptoms. I'd stop feeding any treats so they're just on pellets and water, and just monitor for a bit. It may be that she's about to go into a moult which has upset her system. If the symptoms persist, I would try Beryl's bacteria - seemed to work really well to reset gut bacteria last time one of mine was like that. Then if she still doesn't improve (or gets worse in the mean time), I guess you'd have to consider taking her to a vet. Don't beat yourself up about it - it's probably just a temporary upset, and they're pretty good at appearing normal to trick you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
