Yesterday, I called our usual vet and told her what has been going on with Mara. She got us in to one of the emergency vet hospitals.

--More involved ultrasound to look for any gut issues
--Bile test for liver function
--More involved blood work

It took about 9 hours for everything, but it is an emergency hospital, and we didn't have an emergency, so they fit us around other cases.

Soooo. No liver issues, good. Nothing showing up on ultrasounds, good. Blood work shows low protein and glucose. She's on a steroid now, and a special food. They suspect IBS, but couldn't rule out a different gut issue, which might need surgery to find/treat.

The vet thought the seizures might be from a sudden drop in blood pressure, but couldn't rule out neurological causes.

So we're monitoring symptoms and hoping things improve. She did have 3 soft-solid poops today, that is a very good thing.

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes. I really appreciate it.

Lost a hen yesterday, found her dead on the nest perch at lock up.
Think she was the one in a nest night before last, very docile as I put her on the roost, yellowish poops under that spot in morning. Then she was standing oddly in a nest during morning chores but gone later...no egg.
Didn't do a necropsy, kinda wished I had but it was late and I was tired.
I just tossed her body into the woods for the foxes.

I am sorry you lost one!

What are to getting to replace her?
