Is it a bad sign for an internal layer/ egg yolk peritonitis?

[hensintheHOUse]

Well, She pooped a lot just now.




I don't smell anything.

Just a guess, butt hose skinny poops look like maybe she has a partial obstruction, which could be an egg, tumor or fluid, but many of the poops look normal sized, so maybe it's nothing.

Thank you for your thought, Kathy!

I don't feel any hard stuff when I touched her abdomen, but I feel some fluids inside of her's.

hmm...May be ascites that Eggcessive was talking about...

Can you feel a tumor if she has?



Well, I was reading this.

Including all of threads here about egg yolk peritonitis,
She has the one sadly.

But I can't stop doing this until she put her head down.

I've been able to feel tumors when doing a cloacal exam (inserting gloved finger into vent). Remember that ascites is not always caused by internal laying and or/EYP, it can be from cardio pulmonary disease, too.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you Kathy!

I will try a cloaca exam again then. Thank you for all your help.

 

[hensintheHOUse]

I just did the exam.



Is that egg stuff?

She pooped it out as soon as I inserted my finger inside of her vent.


And, I feel tiny bumps around the sides.



Is it normal?

I am not sure about it because I am a newbie!

 

[casportpony]

Don't freak out, but it's possible that what you felt was oviduct cancer that has spread to her intestines.This is what it looks like during a necropsy.

[hensintheHOUse]

Thank you for your consideration, Kathy. I don't freak out. I expected any worse situations, and I don't mind seeing the stuff for some reason.

Yeah, something like that.



They are eggs.. Well, I am going to keep her like that until she has no energy to live, or my husband will make a decision because she is his favorite chicken. She is in a lot of pains, right?

Thank you for all your kindness and help, Kathy.

Thank you, Eggcessive!

I also thank all of you guys who helped me.

Well, I was reading about egg yolk peritonitis here, I found this one.

It seems like missychickymom's Ralphie was recovered. The symtom is like mine,but I don't see fresh egg yolks comming out from her vent like that, it is more like cooked some white egg come out

hmm...

 

[hensintheHOUse]

After more egg stuff came out from her vent, her poops look much better to me.



Will she have the problem again when she produces an egg tomorrow?


And, when I inserted my finger (wearing a glove)in her vent, I didn't feel the tiny bumps around the spots anymore. What? I don't know.
Anyway, it is a good thing.

My chicken was fighting with the other one after that. She is pretty energetic.


And more droppings that she just made.
