    Egg yolk peritonitis after hysterectomy

    Thank you! Her vet said that they did not notice swollen abdominal area when they examined her and it could be something else. She’s fine now though and antibiotics worked. I think that because I am very close to her that I may have caught - noticed - just before she could have, maybe, turned...

    Egg yolk peritonitis after hysterectomy

    Rebrasocra Thank you That was my logic as well. I asked and was concerned about how she would reabsorb the yolk & where it would go. Vet said, there’s a chance she could pass yolk but she’s seen by oviduct removal, lessens production of yolk. This doesn’t make sense because ovaries produce eggs...

    Do chickens ever peck at eyes?

    I agree. I am definitely not blaming as I see that you are not blaming. Solutions. Lessons Learned. Best Practices. Common sense is relative. I've also learned over the years that chickens have all sorts of personalities. After our hens passed away(I'll tell you how as it's...

    Wound with maggots and bad smell

    Hello I did the same as you wrote but could not get to some of the moving worm like things as they seemed to go into her skin. I could not get them.
