Wish I knew of something that could help you but I don't. Sounds to me like you're doing all that can be done at this point. I sure hope she responds to the meds and bounces back.

Check for egg bound. Also look into information on egg peritonitis, see if symptoms match either of these problems.

I have checked the symptoms for both conditions and none match, she isn't walking funny and she isn't squatting or lying on the floor, her vent is still pink, she isn't eating or drinking, she just sleeps standing up???

Ok so i have given her a good check over, can't see anything, her crop is empty, between her legs is very hot, I can feel her breast bone all the way under her, she isn't gasping anymore and breathing is normal, she isn't sitting she issstanding, but she isnt walking around, she stands in the same place, I gave her a 30 min warm bath, wich she did lay down in, now I habe her on a water bottle in a towel, in a homemade sick bay in the house, she hasn't laid an egg in a few weeks, but this only started today, I have to syringe feed her water, please anyone I need help
