Last night we had Duckaine put to sleep. We tried hormone injections and egg yolk peritonitis laser therapy. Extra calcium and support care. Nothing helped.
The vet did a necropsy for free to find out what was wrong. She called and stated that Duckaine had cystic hyperplasia ovaries. Basically she had cysts on her ovaries and in addition she was producing way too many yolks/follicles.
The yolks were going into her abdominal cavity rather than going the correct way through her reproductive tract.
So it's good we put her down as it does not appear anything short of a major surgery would have helped.
