My 3 year old Rhode Island Red hen is miserable, please help, any advice is appreciated! This is day 3 of her symptoms.
Symptoms:
Hunched standing position, lethargic- very little movements and lots of sleeping, trouble standing/balance, pigeon-toed walking, pulsating vent today but not yesterday, belly feels a bit distended but squishy.
She eats a bit, had one scrambled egg yesterday and a couple blueberries this morning. She has pooped, no egg laying, has had multiple epsom salts baths.
Picture showing her posture, vent, and poop. She was just out of the bath so still dripping, not her fluffy best. Thank you!

Thank you, I have been trying the epsom salt baths, will try some tums today if I can. I am afraid it might be water belly, she's getting worse, can't stand up today and not eating. Her belly feels huge.
