Okay to keep things brief, I have an old hen (lays rarely) who had a sister we put down to to ascites, and this hen is acting similar. She has the weird pose, isn't moving or walking much, stands up but struggles to, and will only eat wet feed (out of yogurt so I didn't try that).
However, some factors are giving me doubts and I don't want to put her down if it is something else we can cure. First, her stomach is stretched and squishy but isn't red, more of a pink/purple color. Secondly, she gave a weird poop that was a pale yellow color and was stretched out in like a rectangle, looking like snot with uniform consistency. It came out alongside a gargling noise.
I think that maybe she might have some other stomach problem, or maybe a digestive problem with the crop. If you think it is water belly or if it something else please reply.
