Hi all,
My silkie died tonight :-( I went out to shut their doors and she was still outside barely moving. Brought her in, realised liquid was coming out of her mouth.
We tipped her upside down thinking it was sour crop but the liquid was clear and odourless. We then realised it was also coming from her vent.
I alternated between clearing her crop and vent by gently tipping her and we thought we were getting somewhere as she became more responsive. However this seemed to be that awful thing nature does where they have one last burst of energy before passing. She died suddenly in my hands :-(.
What was it? She's been fine all day, no outward signs. The vent liquid smelled foul and was slightly yellow but the crop liquid was totally clear & didn't smell at all. I've brought her coop mates in for the night for observation- I couldn't bare to lose any more :-(
Thanks in advance xxx
