So I’m kinda lost with Henrietta! The vet gave her Di-Trim suspension, take every 12 hours for 2 weeks. The vet said that Henrietta should start feeling better in 2-3 days. She’s to the point now that she squeaks when I pick her up. She has broken off feathers in her crop and abdomen area...

So by the time I got Henrietta to the vet it was just clear liquid with a little bit of the uric acid part. So they didn’t take a fecal sample. The vet said that it was some type of bacterial infection. She will be on antibiotics and I have to keep her separated for 1-2 weeks. If...
Just wanted to give you an update! I didn't realize that there is only on Avian Vet in our area!! :thThe doctor is out of the office today, but they squoze Henrietta in tomorrow at 1600. The fecal sample needs to be no more than 12 hours old so I asked them to loop her. I hope that she's okay to...
Henrietta is not as active as usual. She is laying around. She’s been eating and drinking, and she just ate some yoghurt. I’m getting ready to clean her up. What do you all think is causing this? The only answer I can find is stress from a July 8, 2017 post
I’m sorry to hear that you and your hen are going thru this!! I just had my first prolapse and successfully got it to go back in yesterday!! Took 6 days!
We pulled her from the flock and have her set up in a wire dog crate in the garage. We kept it dark so she would stop laying and only exposed...
Thank you! I’m so relieved.
Thank you for the info! I’m thinking it would it be easier for me to get the penicillin injection. Isn’t that once a day for 4 days? What would you do? And with giving her antibiotics, do I need to throw out her egg?
I checked her before I came to work and the prolapse stayed in!!!!! I'm so happy and excited!!!! :celebrate:ya:yesss::highfive:I think I am going to keep her for another 3 days to a week though. I want to make sure she doesn't lay an egg (her comb is still bright red) and I want to make sure...
I haven’t been on in a few days. My phone broke and I couldn’t back it up so I lost everything! UGH
Queen Latifah is still a “jail bird” I’ve been cleaning her prolapsed vent. I can get it to go back in but it doesn’t stay in for long. I’ve even sat there and held it for a couple of minutes and...
@Boonie Stomper I have some but am going to hold off on using it. We have her separated from the flock. Wyorp Rock says that she waits since its dark and stains which makes it difficult to see changes in the tissue.
