Hey everyone,
My beautiful Buff Orpington Buttercup died this morning and I’m at a loss. She was in wonderful health yesterday, bright red comb, eating and drinking, very social, in a good mood.
I came out this morning to the coop to find her in the nesting box and it was devastating. She was in the nesting box, her comb was dark purple, and she was violently shaking all over. I didn’t know what to do! I tried calling the local vet and got no answer.
I went to the house and came back a few minutes later, and she was keeled over and dead. I’ve been so sad and crying all day. I really just don’t know what happened!
Her sister Pumpkin died a month prior, we’d taken her to the vet and they’d diagnosed her with ovarian masses and suggested we put her down. Could this be what killed Buttercup too?
My boyfriend felt Buttercups abdomen and body after she died and all he could feel was a slight bump inside of her, nearby the ovaries. Not an egg. He said her stomach seemed swollen. Ascites maybe? I’m just devastated that two of my beautiful sweet golden girls have died and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Does anyone have any insight?
