911 I NEED HELP!!!

[Keni*Sue]

i have a grey hen that was egg bound and i helped her get it out. this was about 7:00 pm yesterday... its now 8pm and it has been 25 hours and she still hasnt moved. I gave her some yogurt which she seemed to enjoy, also gave her some sugar watter. She hasnt moved ever since yesterday and im not sure whats goin on or what i should do:/!!! She is breathing heavy and seems to be struggling. If someone could please help my email is [email protected]

I'd give her some wet mash, be certain she's drinking... some electrolytes perhaps and then it's just a waiting game. We win some, we lose some.

did it break inside her? If it did, it's possible she may now have an infection.

I would give the hen some wet mash probiotic
3 tbsp of dry crumbles
6 tbsp of milk any kind
1 tbsp of yoguart
mix good and see if she will eat

In the wet mash twice a day put
1000mg of Vit E cut tip of capsule and drizzle it in her beak
and 1 tablet of VitBcomplex
crush tablet in tabsp and add 1 tsp of water
now suck the mixture up in a straw using your finger to hold liquid and pill mixture
put in her beak to back of throat and let her swallow it

now if you have got her to eat the wet mash then next time (twice a day) put the liquid vit E and crushed Vit B complex in just 1/2 of the wet mash mixture so she will eat it in 20-30 minutes

do this till she is better
It will help her nervous system to get on tract
you can email me PM if more help is needed

OK, I'm a newbie, but don't they sometimes lay one egg a day? If it's been 25 hours since the "eggbound" incident, could she have ANOTHER egg up there that she's trying to get out? CHECK!!

Good luck!
