i think she's dying...what is the fluidy sack thing on her??

[spish]

just been out doing my rounds and noticed a black brahma was missing, found her in my minipig pen huddled in the corner, thought she was dead.

have picked her up and although alive, shes floppy and cannot move any limbs. her head just flops allover and shes breathing so slowly i think shes passing away

she has a wound on her back (i think from the roo? i didnt notice it yesterday but its scabbed over so possibly a few days old?) but even more conerning is the fluid like sac across her chest and between her legs? im guessing its not normal.......

does she have any chance? (i fear not but will try anything)


just uploading photos

It looks like a huge infection, possibly turned into septicemia (blood poisoning).

If that's what it is there is not a lot of hope. Massive (kill or cure) doses of antibiotics would be your only chance I think.
If it was a person they'd have intravenous fluids too, not sure if that's possible (or viable) with a chicken.

Not looking good going by the photos.

I hope someone else might think differently.

Im so sorry it does look like a massive infection and I thought septicemia too:-( push lots of fluids-did you think about draining that big fluid sack??

owie!! Poor thing! Looks like a pretty bad infection, the swelling could possibly be from her immune system trying to fight it off, or the infection spreading. I would choke her down with antibiotics and give it a good topical cleaning, and put her in a comfortable place alone to try and heal. Prayers are with you!

she's gone
