Hey guys it's me back with ANOTHER issue with the SAME hen. A couple of weeks ago she had an egg break inside her no shell just a little fluid. Went to the vet, got her some meds. Started doing well the 5 days ago stopped eating and drinking on her own. Yes, I didn't the whole egg binding check with the baths and everything but kind of ruled it out since it's been 5 days. Noticed her abdomen was larger. Considered ascites but since it hard kind of figured it wasn't. Now I'm leaning more towards some sort of constipation since I've noticed she's struggling to poop and when she does it's like it hurts and it's huge and watery. I've given poultry cell, calcium, tums, ACV, and backyard chicken oxy that I got off Amazon. Today I started to give her applesauce that she wouldn't eat on her own and gatorade she would drink. She does poop every once in a while and it seems like she's nervous to sit or lay down. This morning her abdomen wasn't as big but at night it seems bigger. Her comb and wattles are bright red/orange like usual. She walks fine. Earlier she ran around for grass but nothing else. She ate a bit of watered down crumbles then stopped. Her crop is empty in the morning and is small at night.
Now this girl, is 6 and is usually the type that over drinks, over eats and fights for treats. So I'm at a loss. I recently lost my mother last Sunday and another hen tragically 2 weeks before. My chickens are therapy animals and mean so much to me. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN HELP.
