Hi!
I took my sweet hen, Ollie, to the vet last Monday for her water belly. They drained a little over 150ml off of her (yellow colored fluid). He also gave me a compound of Lasix to try with her for 10 days. She was and is still eating, drinking and bopping around mist of the day looking for bugs. She is just now starting to swell up again (Day 9) . She is not as swollen as before but my question is :
1-Should I consider draining her again and at what point? It scares me to pieces to drain her on my own but it was pretty expensive to have the vet do it,’.
thank you for your advice !
