My exotic pet chicken fell and limps; is it a fracture? How to judge and treat simply
Judge a fracture by posture (bent leg, dragging, unable to bear weight) and gentle touch causing pain. These are only initial clues; a vet should confirm to avoid harm.
Since yesterday afternoon the chicken has kept its eyes closed, has diarrhea, breathes through its mouth, has a runny nose, and a hot comb
Chicken fever usually comes from a cold or inflammation, and bacterial disease or parasites can also cause it. Treat with fever- and pain-relieving drugs (metamizole or carbasalate calcium). Metamizole has stronger side effects and isn't for severely febrile birds (liver and kidney risk); herbal antipyretics are milder but slower.
It had diarrhea after eating. For two days I fed chicken breast and broccoli and no diarrhea, then went back to kibble and it had diarrhea again, with gas then a sudden rush.
Diarrhea on kibble may mean it hasn't adjusted to the new food or is allergic to an ingredient. Mix a little kibble into the old food and raise the ratio slowly; switch brands if it persists, using single-protein grain-free hypoallergenic food and probiotics.
After diarrhea and bloody stool, an anti-inflammatory shot, and a day of chicken breast, my dog now isn’t passing stool
Many diseases cause diarrhea/bloody stool (bacterial hemorrhagic enteritis, parasites, infectious enteritis, intestinal foreign body). If symptoms eased after the shot, keep observing for diarrhea or other signs. The gut is fragile now—feed easily digested food (millet porridge, chicken-liver porridge) and pet probiotics. If constipation continues, see a vet.
Why can’t dogs eat chicken or duck bones?
Poultry bones are sharp and hard and can lodge in the throat or damage the gut, causing vomiting, blood, or breathing trouble. Give only a little for chewing.
A newly arrived Ragdoll kitten started having diarrhea in the afternoon after eating chicken breast the day before yesterday, became listless, refused dry food, and began vomiting yellow frothy fluid this morning
Diarrhea after a cat eats chicken breast may be due to the chicken being spoiled or undercooked, or to a sensitive stomach that reacted to the food. In this case, withhold food for half a day to a day and give some pet probiotics and medication to repair the digestive tract lining, then watch whether symptoms improve. If the symptoms worsen, take the cat to a vet promptly.
My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.
Kitten bought 3 days ago eats only chicken breast, no stool, big belly
A young kitten eating chicken breast may get constipated. Stop, add probiotics and water, massage; offer soaked kibble instead.
My cat is weak, sounds congested, and only eats chicken breast
Weakness, congestion, and poor appetite may come from a cold, respiratory infection, allergy, or virus/bacteria. Clear any nasal object, keep it warm, give broad-spectrum antibiotics, and see a vet if no improvement.
Previously the dog ate a chicken a day; for the past month eats very little and is very low; do not know why
Causes of a German Shepherd's anorexia and low mood include indigestion, parasites, and monotonous diet. Long-term greasy meat burdens the gut.
