Unfortunately I don't remember since it was a couple years ago.
I think I gave her it in the morning and evening, and gave her a few syringe fulls of it each time. The syringes were 5mls I think. I know I didn't stick with a certain dose. I also kept a container filled with it for her to drink...
I'm not sure. I know clear, pale yellow fluid means ascites, and a brown opaque fluid means a reproductive infection.
I'll tag some people who should know, and may be more of a help. @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive
I did not, I don't think I had any at the time and I wasn't nearly as...
Some people would cull, and some would support her until her time seems to be up. Its up to you, and what you think is best.
If she's still in good spirits and is active, then I say not yet. If she starts going downhill then you may want to consider it.
I'm so sorry. :hugs
I understand. But it may sounds worse than it is, and it would help her with walking.
Only thing is risk of infection.
Sounds good!
I gave it to my hen everyday for the rest of her life, which was only a few months.
She most likely has ascites, or some sort or reproductive issue, and sadly at this point you probably won't be able to cure her. All you can do is offer supportive care measures.
You'll want to get an 18 gauge needle and insert it into her abdomen to drain the fluid, as to give her relief...
Poor girl! By the looks of it, her abdomen may be bloated which is probably causing her to walk like that.
Could you go feel her abdomen (abdomen is underneath the vent behind the legs) and compare it to some other hens?
