Pet hospital doctors diagnosis is French bursa disease, it is said that all chicken chicks if not vaccinated will get this disease, this disease for chickens, the chicken of the disease, the chicken of the disease, the chicken of the disease, the chicken of the disease. That is to say, almost so the chicks in 3-7 weeks almost all will get this disease, induced by the occurrence of this disease is the weather suddenly cooled down, etc., resulting in a young chicken body of the bursa gland is destroyed, so the chick's resistance to decline. So it will have diarrhea and pull to the point where the feet are weak and can't stand up.
There will be deep red bruised tendons on the chick's legs and under the wings, indicating that the chick's blood flow is not good and the blood is not pure.
This disease is not contagious to humans, so don't be afraid.
The treatments are as follows:
1. Feed the chicks antibiotics and medicine for diarrhea that can be eaten. Liquid medicine is the best, if it is solid medicine, it is best to dissolve in water and give it to the chicks.
Feed 2 or 3 drops at a time, once a day in the morning and once in the evening.
Feeding method: you can use the needle removed from the syringe into the chick's mouth, can also be put into a small cup, so that the chick stretches his mouth into the dipping service.
2. Let the chick eat during this time. As long as it eats, it will stay fit and won't die. If it doesn't eat it will die soon.
Don't feed water during this time because it's diarrheaing.
The food can be millet soaked in milk or rice in rice porridge, in short, feed the chick whatever it can eat, change the pattern and make sure it eats.
My chickens refused to eat rice at that time, so I fed it finely chopped cucumber and bok choy, as well as cut with scissors and brined noodles, etc. (broken into one millimeter), it even ate half of a sacha, as if the chickens are very fond of eating things that have taste. Got a sense of taste, huh?
3. Keep warm. You should maintain the temperature in the chicken nest at 16-20 degrees can be.
The best way to keep warm is to use a temperature-adjustable lamp, which is much better than a hot water bag, because it can be a long time to maintain a constant temperature without having to manage.
4. to the chickens to eat some calcium powder granules or calcium tablets crushed into powder, someone feed the chickens milk calcium tablets should also be very good, and easy to buy their own and can eat, haha.
Calcium supplement is to allow the chick to stand up after the disease, otherwise because of the disease in the weak days have been lying down, the chick claws will curl up, if not hitching may be even if the disease is healed can not stand up for the rest of his life, it is not very meaningless. So take calcium supplements.
I personally at that time, in addition to feeding calcium powder pellets, but also feed with milk and gorgonzola soaked millet, in addition to calcium can also supplement iron and zinc, ^_^.
5. Chickens try to sunbathe every day, can promote the absorption of calcium and vitamin D absorption, very necessary.
6. This time to see the chick's claws curled up should help it unfold.
I started to help the chick stand up after 3 days of illness, and in the past three days I have been feeding it medicine, calcium and vitamins, and sunshine, so I think it should be able to recover.
The way to help it walk with its paws straight is to wrap a cotton swab around its leg with duct tape:
I used a cotton swab because I personally have plenty of time, but if you're busy, you don't have to use a cotton swab.
It's just a matter of helping him straighten his paws and asking him to stand up and straighten his legs to walk.
Otherwise it will forget how to walk, lol.
All in all, I only helped the chick for an afternoon, about 2 hours, and the next day it stood up. I hope your chick gets better soon too!
