I have 20 other guinea hens that are acting normal.
Okay I have looked her over and near her anal gland is like a big ball and it feels like it's full of fluid. I don't know if this is where the egg sack is at or if there is a tumor. I did put peroxide on the whole area and I get no foaming so it doesn't look like it's a wound. I have never seen this kind of thing on a guinea before. Can anyone give me an idea how to help?
