EMERGENCY hen recovered from bumble foot is extremely bloated and wierd comb

[Beloved Turkey]

My hen has just recovered from bumble foot, but she is extremely bloated, and her comb is white specked and has a blue hue. She is so bloated that she’s almost rock hard, and when she is handled she starts gasping. She also lays down a lot when unbothered. I’ve seen her eating and drinking. Is this water belly, or favus, and what can I do. I tried to take pictures of bloated bum, but I don’t know if you can tell anything from them. She is also standing with her tail down. She is currently in the same shed with four other birds but in a separate cage. Do I need to put her away from the others, and what can I do

She looks like she's at the severe stage of Water Belly(Ascites). Kindest thing to do would be putting her down.

The purple coloration means she's not getting enough oxygen circulation, due to the excessive fluids in her belly.

Is there any way I can help her, or make sure. I don’t want to put her down if I can help her

At this stage, you can't save her. She'll probably end up passing tonight, or sometime tomorrow. But it won't be peaceful.

Is there anything I can do to make sure, I hate to deny your knowledge but it’ll be really hard to let go

I'm speaking from experience. I had a hen at this exact stage of water belly once. My dad, & sister were caring for my birds for awhile when I broke my hand, & they failed to notify me of an unwell hen.

I’m sorry if I’m annoying you, it’s just hard to see her go when she looks so happy eating meal worms but theres actually something wrong with her that I can’t help

It's okay.
Having a sick bird the first time is always hard.

I don’t know just confirm that it’s not something else, or that there’s really nothing I can do
