We have an older hen (5+ years) who has developed ascites (water belly) randomly. I’m a nurse and know how to drain such things but we will be taking her a to a vet for further evaluation tomorrow. My question is, once this starts does it continue? Like are we going to have to drain her every so often until she passes? Or could it be a one time thing? It’s not bad enough to cause comb or waddle discoloration. And she still eats and drinks fine. Has a little difficulty walking around the yard but hoping that resolves once the fluid is removed.
