4 week update on my 3 year old golden comet hen named Omelet. Her abdomen has enlarged again. Her breathing has gotten heavy again She walks slower than normal and she's doing the "dirty diaper walk"... if you understand that! She has not laid an egg. She is still eating and drinking, but...

That was one of our diagnosis we came up with but we never drained her abdomen.She was on IM Pennicillin for a week. Her tummy doesn't feel as extended anymore. The vet said he thought he felt an egg (or something hard) in there but it was sitting low. Who knows. I will just continue her...

Hi guys. She is still the same. Eating and drinking fine. Pooping great. No eggs. Foraging with her sisters fine. I'm still bathing her, blow drying her, and giving her laxatives. It's been 3 weeks since her first symptoms of mouth breathing was noted. Here's pictures ange92040! (coloring off...

Hi ange92040, Thanks for asking! Omelet is still hanging in there! I have discontinued the penicillin because I think I read somewhere that you should only give it for 7 days (and well, I ran out of syringes... but I can go buy more if you think I need to continue it!). I am still giving...

Hi guys, Just wanted to let you know what the vet said. Omelet's tummy does seem a bit larger but he feels a very large egg in there but way at the bottom. I am to continue the penicillin injections, warm baths, massages and he gave me a script for a laxative. If she's not better... xrays...

Yes, thanks speckledhen! I've been looking for supplements for hens during molting today in hopes that will help my girl after I drain her. (Haven't done it yet... was hoping to find a youtube video to show me EXACTLY where to stick her... but haven't yet... and well, I don't think I could do...

Thanks speckledhen. I was kinda hoping for better news but thank you for being blunt. I guess I will get a large syringe and give it a try and be prepared for the worst. I can't get to my feed store before they close tonight so it will have to wait until tomorrow. I guess I will not give her...

Day 8 - She's getting worse. OK.. we went from a possible CRD to Eggbound and now I'm leaning more towards fluid in her abdomen (though I don't know what this disease is called). Recap (so you don't have to read the first 15 messages) 3 year old Golden Comet Hen named Omelet No injuries or...

Going on Day 8 She had 3 - 30 minute warm baths with massages today. She had an injection of penicillin. She is eating some. She foraged a tiny bit when outside. She is drinking water. She is still breathing heavy. Her poo has turned watery with white. Her vent is still pulsating. Her abdomen...

OK I did it! I just wrapped her in a towel and gave her the penicillin injection. She wasn't pleased but I don't blame her. Is that just once a day or more? I know when you are treating kids (or dogs!) with amoxi, it's usually three times a day. She ate scrambled eggs with ground up egg shell...

Good Morning all! Day 7 We have a poo update. She is now passing that white stuff that I believe I read on this forum that is urates trying to get by the egg (but I could be wrong... I can't find that posting this morning cause I wanted to read it again!). I have given her a warm soak this...

I will pick up penicillin injectable in the morning. I have never injected a hen before. Where do you give them an antibiotic injection? And thank you.

Day 6. She is still eating but spends most of her time sitting and breathing hard so I think Omelet is getting worse. I still have her on Duramycin-10 (Tetracycline Hydrocloride) and still is isolated though we will go outside again for some sunlight and foraging because it makes her happy...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the responses! I've been going down the list. There is no mucus or puss coming out of her nose. There are no bubbles or drainage from her eyes. There are no sounds in her chest. She is not speaking much but she's one of my quietest birds. She is still eating...

Thanks EggyErin. She is still the same. Eating fine. Poop fine. She's not "talking" much. She is actually very quiet. I still have her in isolation. Today is day 5 of open mouth breathing (day 2 in our family room). Looks like panting but it's not. No others are acting like this. I have...
