"Egg yolk peritonitis" and 'Hysterectomy' - Decision Points

I searched and found @SkyAJK has a chicken who is on the fourth implant: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/did-i-get-dealt-a-crap-hand-or….1674986/post-28791090

thanks for confirming regarding the implant. I am concerned that at over $400 AUD a pop and has to be done 3 times a year basically, it's not overly sustainable. But if it gets us out of trouble for now that would be ok. Keen to hear more about people's experiences with surgery.

The only thing I know about surgery is that it's not always an option. It depends on the hen's anatomy and that can only be determined on the table.

If you have a vet willing to give ot a go, do it.

I haven't seen him for a while, but @ThePoultryDoc might have some advice too.
