Thank you for all your advice along the way...I learned a lot and hopefully she felt loved in the end.

I took Gigi to an avian vet this morning....unfortunately despite all my efforts she was full of fluids and positively diagnosed with egg yolk peritonitis. In so much obvious pain, we decided it was the most humane thing to put her down and so that's what we did. I feel so terrible that I...

Thank you!

I found a local avian vet! Gigi has an appointment tomorrow at 11:00am, I'll post diagnosis and treatment, she's not improving and the receptionist said it's doubtful penicillin is helping.

My vet can't see her til Wednesday but he said he'd take a look...not sure what route he'll go. I gave her more penecillin this morning and also a little nutri drench. She ate a little worms, little water. Her breathing is worse like a little whistle when she breathes...if she has a respiratory...

I have a call into my vet, I'm reading baytril is effective and also can stop them from laying after treatment. My girl is not doing well this morning...still trying to get the penecillin in her in the meantime.

Thank you! I dissolved a 250 mg pill in 4cc of water and then drew 1cc in syringe and put in on a small piece of bread...she wanted no part of it. Not eating much, so I tried my best to syringe 1cc in her beak. She got some but was not happy. Not even interested in scrambled eggs at this point...

Another thread on here, there was a guy who said 150mg per day but that's all I could find also...

It's called "fishpen" 250mg tabs I'm reading 125 mg is good for chickens is this correct? The bottle says it's a bactericidal for gram positive and some gram negative bacteria and is dissolved in water

They are 250mg penicillin pills to put in a fish tank...

I found a pet store that carries powdered penicillin for birds does anyone know the dosage?

These are her droppings from last night, also she is making a little click sound when she breathes this morning :(

Should I try an antibiotic or penicillin in case she already has an infection brewing? Everything I've read about peritonitis is so grim I'm not sure what to do, however it's been four days so I know she's not egg bound. I'm pretty sure it's a soft egg or already broken egg in there, and yes...

She has passed broken eggs and soft shell eggs before also, her eggs are very large and oblong she's always had a tough time poor girl.

I think you may be right...I actually sucked it up and put a glove on and checked to see if I could feel anything and there's nothing that I can feel. But after I felt around some yellowish egg yolk came out with some other goo leading me to believe the egg has broken in there.

Thank you for your reply! I have not tried to feel inside for an egg, but I have gently massaged her backside in the tub and it feels very full and hard. I've given her crushed up tums mixed with a little scrambled eggs but she will barely eat. She has not laid an egg since she molted this...

This is my Gigi, i feel like if she doesn't pass the egg/eggs soon I'll lose her

Hey guys, I have 2 year old golden sexlink who is my tiniest hen but lays huge almost duck size eggs. She's had trouble in the past with being egg bound and I've always given her some calcium and that does the trick. She's displaying the same symptoms as before, puffed up..tail...
