Update: Before I could get the dewormer she started having diarrhea. (See added pic.) Would deworming still be an appropriate next step or is it time for a trip to the (emergency) vet?
I have a 6 year old Easter Egger who still averages 4 eggs a week. I realized yesterday it had been 4 days since her last egg. When I checked her more carefully, I realized she had a poopy butt, so I gave her a bath. The skin and vent appeared fine once she was clean, but it’s been almost 24 hours and still no eggs.
Her poops are also runny, and this morning I saw her regurgitate some water (not sure if that’s normal, but I’ve never seen it). It’s been quite hot here and she’s been drinking a lot, so I wasn’t previously worried about the runny poops, but now I’m not sure. Otherwise she seems to be eating and drinking okay and is reasonably active for the weather. Pic is from this morning. Not sure if I should be worried.
