Hi everyone my name is Michelle and im new to this site and i stumbled upon it to see if anyone here can help me with my chicken. Well i have a five year old Americauna, she's been sick for about a week or more. She hasn't been eating much, not drinking water, she has a hard time breathing, first couple of days she would sit around alot but lately she stands most of the time. She's looks pretty depressed, her abdomen was really swollen and kind of blue as well as her comb, and i took her to the vet the other day and they told me i had to get x rays for her but they were a kind of expensive so i don't have much money right now to get them. But the vet drained about 60cc of fluid, it was clear, she said that the only diagnosis, but she wasn't sure, was Marek's disease, but i looked up the symptoms and she doesn't have any symptoms of that disease. I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me right now, i don't want to lose her.
