I've done some reading, and it seems you can treat for coccidiosis even if you're unsure of the diagnosis, with no side effects. Here's a link from a previous poster with some responses on corid (amprolium)...

The behavior, eating, and dehydration with blood in the stool makes me think it could be Coccidiosis. @Wyorp Rock has helped me in the past and seems pretty knowledgeable, any ideas?

Has her behavior changed? (Lethargic, distant from flock, etc) What does her poop look like? Any outward signs, i.e. vent gleet? Was she laying regularly and suddenly stopped or did it become sporadic, with some soft shelled or deformed weak egg shells?

Wow, spot on. Thanks for the article. My vet confirmed this, thinking the clump contains yolk due to her recent history/ diagnosis of EYP. We normally process our chickens, but this one has been a good pet and we decided we're not going to do that with her. I started her back on antibiotics...

My chicken has EYP. She was on antibiotics not too long ago and we had some fluid drained. She's been doing fine, but recently she has gotten really bad vent gleet. I've been been giving her probiotics the last few days, no change yet. However, she has pooped out these hard yellow fatty tumor...

Thank you for the suggestions! I took your wet food idea a step further and made it liquid enough for a syringe, but I had a hard time getting her to swallow until I found something she would nibble on her own. She ended up being interested in a mashed tomato of all things. For the last two...

How is she doing now? I hope she has started to pull through.

Thank you for sharing! I feel the same way about trying to tube feed as you do. I ended up stopping the pain meds as well.

Hey Hennyhoneys. I have the same issue with my chicken who we think has EYP. Today is day 4 without food. Were you able to tube feed your chicken? If so, what did you feed her and how did you do it?

Hey all. I posted a thread on Sunday about my chicken Julia. I ended up taking her to a vet and we're 99% sure she has EYP. She is on day two of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. We drained almost a cup of fluids out of her. The fluids were on the thicker side. She is of course drinking a lot...

Wow great video. Thank you! The vet thinks EYP due to her reproductive history. I got antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. Still not eating or drinking, but she let me use the syringe to give her meds and water. For some reason, the vet didn't drain the fluid. I'll probably call them when...

Thanks for the reply! I don't think she's egg bound because she doesn't lay eggs really anymore, but I could be wrong. Underneath it feels like fluid. I have her a bath when I cleaned her poopy butt. This is the 3rd day she won't eat or drink so I'm taking her to the vet. I'll update the post...

My chicken is not moving and doesn't seem to be eating or drinking. I found her in the coop yesterday afternoon and she wouldn't come out. I took her inside and cleaned her down, she gets really bad poopy butt. Her vent was clear and looked normal. She didn't change her behavior after the...

Thanks, hello!
