I have a sick layer who was fine yesterday but at bed check she was facing backward in a laying box and obviously not well. Under her cloaca was red and swollen.
I brought her in and gave her two of warm baths and massaged her stomach and the area adjacent to the cloaca. Did an internal and could not feel a shell. I gave her liquid calcium (crushed up Tums and some water and down the throat) and have kept her in the house overnight.
She's still alive this morning and her cloaca is pulsing and dark red and swollen. She's not moving much.
I have no idea what this is and nothing I'm doing is helping. Advice??
Thanks
