One last bit of info for anyone that was wondering what caused her rapid decline, my husband did a necropsy and it looked very much like these (graphic) photos of oviduct impaction (but there was no formed egg, just a large mass blocking her vent)...

I'm sorry to have to give this update but she got much worse since this morning unfortunately (labored breathing, eyes closed, not able to stand, not eating/drinking). We decided to ease her of any suffering before it got worse. We are both really sad as she was our favorite girl and had such...
