Hello - There has been a bloated belly on my hen Jasmine. That was a week ago this past Thursday.
She was so bloated she couldn't get up a step. I took her the vet.
I paid for x-rays to make sure she wasn't egg-bound.
I paid for a sonogram to see how far the fluid had gone.
I paid for a slide on the fluid to see what the fluid was - lots of white blood cells.
The vet charged me and offered to euthanize her for free. She had removed a lot of fluid.
That seemed to make Jasmine more comfortable (so I brought her home to die - vet said cancer and she would die in her own fluids)
and she has been doing well since then.
I have been cutting up fresh garlic in oats, buttermilk, grapefruit seed extract in water a few drops a day.
Today I cleaned out the coop and sprayed with Oxine (I've been doing oxine treatments in the coop the past three nights).
I gave them all baths today.
I just gave Jasmine a bath and rinsed her off and was towel drying her and found this chunk of hardened junk on her back right leg. I pulled it off and under it was more of fluid - it doesn't smell bad - but it's green and this is where the fluid in her belly is starting from. What can I do????
I can't take her back to that vet! Please help!! Thank you!!!
This explains why antibiotics have only worked while she is on them!!!!
If this were human wouldn't it have to be drained, kept open to heal???
