My hen is keeping one eye shut and it tears up when she opens it. There is a small scratch mark on the eyelid. I am pretty sure she scratched sometime this afternoon because she was fine earlier in the day.
Her pupil seems fine and she seems to be able to focus. But, I am afraid she might...
Thank you
I was just spit balling. I was hoping the vet could drain some of the fluid to give her more time or at least a better quality of life for a little while.
I took my 5 year old hen to the vet today. He said it was likely water belly. She got an ultrasound but I won't get the results until tomorrow. I know it is not curable but is it treatable? On some threads, they mention vitamin c and oregano oil? Will this work? What about dietary changes...
I brought them in last night to feed them and keep them warm. She came around just now. So, I have them back in the dog house to see if she will take them away.
She is probably close by, because I can hear the ones she moved earlier.
Thank you, again, for your responses.
How long should I wait? She still is hanging out a few feet away from them and occasionally pops in to the dog house where they are located. But, she is not feeding them or trying to relocate them. It is all happening right outside my bedroom window...
