Egg Peritonitis Help

[ANiceKaren]

I definitely don’t think it’s an egg coming so probably wants to be away from flock. Her body language changes. She is sometimes with flock roaming and pecking at grass but sometimes she also stays at a bit of a distance. She usually will go into this nest around 3:30pm.. about an hour before bedtime for others. She doesn’t go into it at all during the day. Her tail is still down (ish) and she is still a bit off... here they are currently at my front door. She is with them.

Sometimes she does turn from them but most of day she is with them walking around grass.. she even pecks the younger girls when I bring treats.. so still a little sassy.

Something may still be going on inside her reproductive tract. You can try another round of an antibiotic, perhaps a different one. It really wouldn't hurt to try it.

Do you have a recommendation on an antibiotic I could try?

 

[azygous]

What did you give her last time?

Amoxicillin also.. I have not given her Nutri drench yet.. would that help?

Give her the Nutri-drench. It will always help. Give it straight or sprinkled over an egg.

Order this. https://www.kvsupply.com/item/aqua-ceph-250mg-capsules-100-count/P06182/

I've had very good luck using this drug as a follow on to amoxicillin. They are similar but they attack bacteria in slightly different ways.

Perhaps there is still something inside her reproductive tract. My hen Joy acted like this too. She would gather all of her disgusting poopy papertowels which where on the bottom of the crate, and stuff them into a cardboard box which I offered to her as a dark place to lay. She sat in there for the same amount of time Margeret does until finally she passed one large piece of egg shell with blood. After that, she started to act more normal, and her recovery started to to even further uphill.

She won’t eat egg so I’m thinking of just giving it to her straight. I’m confused on how much! 1ml seems like a lot!? Help!

.1ml is about right.

I was thinking along the same lines as @Chicken . Margaret may still have egg material in her reproductive system that needs to be expelled. I would start her on the calcium citate again, one tablet each day. Try it for a week. When the other antibiotic comes, it won't hurt to continue the calcium along with it.
