Answer:The fowl becomes dejected and emaciated. It walks with difficulty and may have convulsions. The appetite is abnormal and great quantities of food will be eaten with no benefit to the fowl. Feed the bird sparingly for a day or two and then give it corn, wheat or other grain which has been soaked for from twelve to twenty-four hours in turpentine. Give no other feed for a day and administer a liberal dose of Epsom salts or castor oil. If the fowl refuses to eat the grain, force a small quantity of sugar down the throat upon which has been placed two or three drops of turpentine. A piece of asafoetida the size of a grain of corn is also beneficial. |
