    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    Update: her vent in so beautiful! Who says that?! Ha! There's no more swelling, it's staying put inside, and there's no more blood dripping. She does have some cuts that I'm cleaning/applying ointment to just inside the vent, but she's otherwise quite improved. Still keeping her inside in the...

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    Thank you! I hadn't gotten a chance to run to the vet, so I didn't get to talk to them in depth about it. My vet isn't a livestock vet, but is always willing to entertain my queries. She said that she would look more into it to see the best course of treatment (but I'd already had tetracycline...

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    Called the vet. They won't give me Baytril (it's apparently a "last resort" drug), but I got some tetracycline to put in her water. Will be medicating her for five days. She said that meloxicam isn't really necessary, but is sending over the script in case I choose to get it. Guess I'll judge by...

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    Thanks! I'd read about lash eggs, but didn't realize that this was one until @Eggcessive mentioned it (head slap!). Definitely got some good info from everyone that's taken the time to chime in. Love this place!

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    My vet has been awesome about putting up with my antics, so I'm at least not afraid to ask. I do so appreciate your help, I wouldn't have know there was anything available for pain/swelling for her.

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    My vet opens in 20 minutes. I was planning to call and hopefully get a script. Is that going overboard, and I just start on Baytril? Thank you, Barbara. A swaddle and Call the Midwife seemed appropriate (I was sure wishing for forceps when I realized the size of the beast!) . Thanks for your...

    Lash egg! Duh! I couldn't figure out what it was called. Your responae really helped get me through the night, thank you! Last night she stood in the penguin stance before and after "The Extraction", and didn't walk, eat, or drink on her own. This morning she's standing normal, and is...

    Graphic Egg Bound/Lash Egg Recovery Questions/Help

    Warning: Graphic Image below. My 1-year old Americauna hasn't been laying since the weather started to warm up in the Sonoran Desert. Other hens are laying regularly. I figured it was heat-stress, and haven't been too concerned until this morning where she had the tell-tale egg-bound stance...

    Hello from Chandler, AZ!

    Thanks, everyone :) I started with a silver laced wyandotte (she died), an Americauna (she died), and a frizzle-something bantam (who, we later found, was a roo). So we've currently got a barred rock (my favorite, so far - she's so sweet, docile, and just plain pretty), another Americauna, and...

    Chicken Squat

    That is exciting!! With my first, she started laying about four days after "the squat". My second did it in two! I'm definitely no expert, and could have missed that as a sign, but they did start laying fairly soon after I noticed it.
