liver

Hi all! I’m hoping to get advice about one of my buff Orpington chickens. She is somewhat lethargic for a couple days, still eating but not as much and the urate part of her poop is tinted green/yellow. I have seen this could be from fatty liver disease- which I *think* is the issue. I do feed...

Our favorite girl has come down with a terrible bout of ascites and I've learned quite a lot over the last week, so I thought I would share since I don't see anything like this mentioned here. When I first noticed that her legs were held widely and she was having discomfort in walking (it's...

Posting in hopes of helping someone else with the same issue. Last Wednesday I found a lash egg in the coop laid by my little silkie, Tina. After researching online I feared it was a death sentence and frantically tried to get her into our avian vet with no luck. She laid a second a few days...

We had a hen die fairly suddenly on us, unfortunately. We've had a few lately, in fact, though not all with similar symptoms or circumstance. This one, a leghorn about four months old and always on the small side, we noticed was a bit yellow around the eye (the skin around the eye, not the...

One of our friends is a duck rescuer. It has dedicated its terrace and yard to 19 rescue ducks. * Before continuing my speech, I would like to explain that in Iran, most people eat and eat ducks and they are kept improperly in the villages. Also, there is no special food for ducks and it is not...

Warning for some necropsy photos in the thread. I had to have one of my 4 month old turkeys euthanized yesterday. I had been tube feeding her for 4 days and she didn't show any improvement, just maintained her low weight and continued to look awful. I had been giving her SMZ tablets from the...

This is Mr. Burns, is is a Pekin Cochin of unknown age (we think he's old), this formed on his comb in the last month. Please offer a suggested diagnosis and treatment... Thank you

This year we had about half our flock come down with a bad case of respiratory issues, we had to do them up and medicate the rest (their done with that for the most part now.) What we found odd was that when we got to removing the liviers of the culled chickens. They looked fine, but when they...

GRAPHIC PICTURES OF AUTOPSIED CHICKEN, NEED HELP DETERMING CAUSE OF DEATH: Hi folks. Just completed my second ever chicken autopsy. Last night I lost a hen to impacted crop. This morning, I lost another hen. Did her autopsy and was unable to identify cause of death. Noticed red veining on the...

I hope this is an appropriate place to post my question... Please let me know if not. I got a deer this morning and am keeping the heart and liver. What is the best way to process them before freezing? Before I have always just washed, trimmed, dried and vacuum packed the same day. Deer liver...

Does anyone know what my chicken pooped out? She has been sick not eating, laying, tail down for about 5 days, off to her own corner. also had a small cyst above the eye for more than a year. Thinking she may have been impacted but not sure. Her belly was not really large. I cut it in half so...

2 livers are in this bowl. The one on the right has a "red thing", what am I looking at?
