What did your vet suggest?

whew that makes me feel better! She is also on antibiotics for 7 days in case of any infection. I was glad he didn't charge me an arm and a leg for the whole procedure! It only came to $125 for the exam, the last minute surgery, and the meds. I read your notes, thank you! One more question, besides electrolytes, what can I give her to make sure she stays well hydrated to keep her innards moist so this doesn't happen again?

Wow! Cheap!

i dont have any coops. i keep all of my chickenson dirt and in dog kennels with upside down dog houses for shelter i find it keeps them healthier and the area more sanitary and easier to clean

I'm not picturing the upside down dog house well!

I would be worried if she was compliant. So glad to hear it's going so well.

He didn't suggest anything, just to try to get her to stop laying.
