    Egg Peritonitis

    Thanks for your message. On Saturday when the weather was nice, Breta actually foraged and ate earthworms in the yard, but still doesn’t eat anything else on her own. We have been force feeding her scrambled eggs, peanuts powder in yogurt, and milk. The antibiotics seems helped a little, but...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Yes, information about the implant on this thread has saved the life of Mocha last year. I am so grateful to all who posted their experience with implant for their girls. Mocha was sick last May and a vet did a X-ray for her and said she had probably cancer. After about 4weeks on...

    Egg Peritonitis

    Yes, we have been force feeding her wet feed in milk, juice or yogurt. Took her to a vet today since she hasn’t responded to antibiotics. Another ultrasound confirmed that she doesn’t have too much fluid in her belly. It’s mostly mass. Doc suggested euthanization, but couldn’t bring ourselves...

    Egg Peritonitis

    Thank you very much for your information. Breta laid some odd shaped eggs last year before she started molting in October. Then a few weeks ago she laid a few normal eggs followed by a few very tiny yolkless eggs with very thin shell. I regret so much for not put her on implant right away...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Thanks. The reason I asked is that we had our Mocha implanted about two weeks ago. She has no sign of molting yet. She has been subdued and not eating much since the implant. We didn't have her drained of the fluid, so her belly is still very big. The vet does not recommend draining her.
