Ruby is unwell :(

I just called Jeffers's and Rachael said that they will ship fishmox to California. She also said they are having a 10% off sale this weekend.

Thank you! She is DEFINITELY not well. I just keep getting videos of her when she has a burst of energy. And YES, she is slightly limping. Didn’t see that at first. Here she is right now while everyone runs around foraging. I did see her eat just a little feed. Yay!

Hi there, I’m up in the east Bay Area by Walnut Creek.
I agree with azygous..I don’t think she’s going to perish before u can get something going on tues.
It’s probably some type of infection.

Poor Ruby, I saw your posts since you showed her at first. What a good hen she is. please help her get well?

Thank you. The Fish Mox, if they will even ship it here (no confirmation yet) won’t even SHIP until Tuesday. Ruby is panting. I just gave her some nutridrench with an adult low dose (same as baby) aspirin crushed in it by dripping it on her beak, but she didn’t take all of it. Thinking I should let her rest/sleep. I may give her a warm epsom salt soak in the morning if she seems strong enough. I’m worried the antibiotics, if they even come, won’t come quick enough. Will look into those other shipping possibilities mentioned in this thread.

@casportpony what is Jeffers and Rachael? Can’t find them online.

@KikisGirls I found Valley Vet. Thank you. It seems they only have fishmox forte. Does that matter?

You want the Fish Mox 250mg. The Forte is 500mg. You'd need to divide the capsules in half.

Search for Jeffers's Livestock.

I have fishmox forte 250mg in my cart for Wednesday delivery (next day with a Tuesday ship). Should I get it?
