    Swollen belly

    Sorry, I haven't been on here in awhile. She didn't make it. I did end up draining her to make her more comfortable. She got even more bloated. From what the vet said about the color of the liquid I drained (it was a clear yellow like urine), it was most likely liver failure. Thank you for asking.

    Bloated belly

    This was a week ago; she seemed to really enjoy the warm baths (I was trying anything, in case she was eggbound) but she especially loved the blow dryer!

    Bloated belly

    Thank you so much, her improvement without draining has made me hopeful. She actually looks a little less bloated even and I’m not sure if that is even possible without draining. She is even starting to poop some solid again; before it was just yellow/liquidy. Culling is not something I myself...

    Bloated belly

    One of my hens has a bloated belly and messy vent. I contacted my vet but he said draining will only be a temporary fix so I was wondering if I was just prolonging the inevitable. I let him know her comb was purplish and I knew from prior sick hens this was not a good sign. For the past five...
