    Help! Water belly/Ascites

    Here are two pictures of the fluid we pulled out of her.

    Help! Water belly/Ascites

    From my research, the yellow fluid is most commonly from the liver.

    Yes, it was yellow. I think I may have a picture somewhere. I’ll try to find it.

    Help! Water belly/Ascites

    My hen is actually doing okay. I’ve had to drain fluid twice already though, so I don’t know how long she’ll last. The last time I just poked her with a needle and let her drain outside with the flock all day. It definitely gives her relief. I would try that for your hen.

    Help! Water belly/Ascites

    The fluid was very yellow. I thought she was egg bound at first because she was pushing and in a penguin stance, but there was no egg. So, thought maybe it was ascites and got a bunch of fluid out. She does seem to be labored breathing, but it doesn’t seem terrible. Her abdomen still feels quite...

    Help! Water belly/Ascites

    I have a white leghorn chicken who has water belly/ascites. This is my first time dealing with this so, people who have experience with this, how much fluid do you usually take out at each time or per day? Can you take out fluid more than once per day? We’ve taken out 120 ml but she hasn’t...

    Duckling with lame foot

    We took her to a vet and they said it’s a slipped tendon. There really isn’t anything we can do at this age and size :(

    Duckling with lame foot

    One of my almost 4 week old ducklings has become lame in one foot/leg. He is pretty much using his whole leg to hobble around. The other leg seems to be strong. This just started and has been on and off the past few days and is now consistent. None of the other ducks are having any leg issues...

    Help! Vent Prolapse

    Thank you all so much for your help! I wanted to update everyone on how my chicken is doing. I gave her two one-hour baths each day for about 5 days. At the end of each bath I would lightly rub her vent to see if I could get any of the crusty bits off. It slowly started to peel off with each...

    Help! Vent Prolapse

    Here’s another photo to show to discoloration. It’s not quite as dark as it looks in the photo but it’s turning hard and purple and looks like a scab. Can it fall off?

    Help! Vent Prolapse

    I think it started from a large egg but she laid an egg the second day I had her inside treating the prolapse. It stayed in after that and I put her back with the others. The next morning it was back out so I brought her back in. I couldn’t get it pushed back in at all that time and haven’t been...

    Help! Vent Prolapse

    She laid an egg the second day I had her inside. Could something else be stuck then? She seems to be pooping more than just white stuff, but small amounts. It looks like it’s turning purple and scabbing. I can keep it moist and try those things. If it is necrotic, is there any coming back from...
