    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Update: I brought her home from the vet with an intention to give her peace at home. But never mustered up the guts to do it. She was really sick. Her comb turned blue. The other chickens began picking on her so I brought her inside and gave her food and water. She stopped eating and had lots of...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Fascinating. I'm an acupuncturist and Infundibulum is like the Fallopian tubes in women. sometimes they miss a fertilized egg too and it implants in the abdomen- but then calcifies as the body tries to protect itself. Sometimes it causes no issues, sometimes it is deadly. It sounds like it...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Alaskan and WyorpRock thank for all you input. I inspected her a few minutes ago and replied with pictures of her current state this morning in another posted reply - she seems to be feeling good. I can feel a hard mass in her lower left abdomen about the size of a regular sized marble...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Nice red comb Green runny diarrhea Swollen lower abdomen Her comb is bright red! Wouldn't egg bind kill her quickly? This has been happening for 2 months. She seems to be feeling great today. Still has a little more waddle than normal but overall she's spunky. I just palpated her and could...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Thanks Barbara, I'm an acupuncturist so needles are my life. ;) It's different using giant needles to pull liquid out but that part isn't so bad. It's not having a clear diagnosis to work with. I do make sure to sterilize the area before working. She seems to enjoy being drained and lays very...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Thanks for all the informational links. Her crop seems to be fine. I kept saying crop, but I meant gizzard. I edited the original post. We gave her several treatments a month ago for egg bind and after I drained the fluid off found no "hard swellings" in her abdomen. This is all so peculiar...

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    Somehow I kept writing crop wen I meant gizzard. I realize her outcome is bleak, but I'm still going to try to do something. I'all let you know how it turns out.

    Her crop is normal. It's her gizzard I'm worried about.

    Impacted Gizzard or Heart Failure?

    I inherited my chickens with the house we bought so I have no background on Ginger Henny. She has had ascites for 2 months and I have drained 45-50cc's off of her twice in the last month to try to help her. I took her to the vet and she said it was probably heart disease. Her comb is not blue or...

    Hello from Oregon

    I inherited 10 girls with our new house and have no clue what I'm doing- how old the girls are - or anything about chickens. This forum helped me identify fly strike which was an awful experience as a first time chicken owner. Down to 9 with 1 really sick girl I've finally joined the forum...
