Does it feel like fluid?

It feels like a big balloon full of air.

Ok, breeds like that do tend to get more health issues.

Did it go completely back to normal?

So it just feels like air?

It seemed to go completely back to normal last time. I’m a little more worried this time because of the breathing hard and because it is the second time.

I'm not sure what's going on.

Air can collect under the skin with a leaking air sac from a hard bump to the body or from infection. An 18 gauge needle inserted into the site just under the skin can help to get the air out by pressing, or by using a large syringe to pull it out.

Well, it is not possible to see the bulge in the picture because of all the feathers. Is she in any distress or having problems breathing? If not, I would just watch her.

I tried to send a link for a video it is a iCloud link. I think that she might be breathing a little hard but not super labored.

Also there is no specific bulge it’s more like her whole abdomen is swollen an full of air.

Makes sense.
