We went in yesterday and had an xray and ultrasound done to confirm it was an internally laid egg. The vet did a wonderful job and was able to explain to me what she was seeing. Unfortunately our girl Chill with water belly had scarring from the fluid so we had to say goodbye since her...

Thanks for the diagram! I'm saving that to my phone right now. The bulge is right where the small intestines are in that photo, it's the exact same placement as the fluid bulge was for my girl with water belly, which is why I assumed that's what this was for Jazz. The vet had mentioned that...

Thank you for your reply, I'm sorry about your loses. I'm thinking if it is the fluid building up again this quickly then it might be time to let our water belly girl go and move forward with the implant for Jazz but I will ask the vet. They have several vets at this practice and I seem to be...

Yes this is an avian vet. I agree I don't want them to suffer. We have another girl who does have water belly, she is getting winded when exerting energy despite having it drained on Friday and being on meds, I'm tube feeding her and doing all I can but I can tell she's on the brink of losing...

Thank you. The vet did let me know the implant would need to be redone, they said every year though but it is still expensive. Can an internal layer continue to lay normal eggs? It looks like it's just a single egg inside her (I posted the ultrasound in a previous comment). The vet said it is...

I'm looking for advice on how to proceed. We have a 1.5 year old Barred Rock hen named Jazz. I took her in to the vet today for what I assumed was water belly. When the vet tried to drain fluid they kept getting blood so they stopped and did an ultrasound. The vet showed me a picture of what...
