How to stop ascites fluid drip after draining? Anything that can be applied to the site safely?

I'm glad she's slowly improving.

Have you ever tried giving antibiotics in addition to draining?

It has turned cool and windy here, later in the week dipping down into the high 30s. I'm not ready for that

Brrr! That's so chilly so quick. I hope you and yours stay warm!

As for the antibiotics, I always gave Cleo amoxicillin for 7 days starting the day after the draining. I tried with Marcy, but that morning when her mouth was cold, the pill got stuck to the inside of her beak and she wouldn't/couldn't swallow it. Now that she's drinking on her own, I'll likely start her on antibiotics tomorrow. Thinking I might try the Enrofloxacin I bought recently for a bad case of bumblefoot. I hear that's better for things like EYP.

May be worth trying the Enrofloxacin and see if that works a little better than Amoxicillin.

Just an update that Marcy's doing great! She's still recuperating but its back to being a normal chicken~ I'll be ordering some of the aloe detox here in a couple days so I have it on hand next time she starts to swell up. Thank you again for all the help and support!
