My hen is sick- suggestions needed

[Lili07]

Thank you. I am going to take her to the vets tomorrow to see what they say about the salpingitis, and whether we should euthanize her or prescribe her antibiotics. She is so miserable and its really awful to see her suffering.

I hope you get an answer and can make a decision you feel good about (either way).

If you can take pics of her poop and post them, it will help in recommendations. Salpingitis typically shows up as a yellow discharge. The lash egg is usually the first physical sign, besides being lethargic, not eating, comb discolored, tail down. You can also check to see if she has any swelling below her vent between the legs. Please keep us updated.

Will do Tomorrow morning. I haven't noticed any yellow discharge in her poop, its been mucous like, but normal colour. Does the salpingitis indicate e.coli or salmonella?

From what I've read, and I'm no expert, it's an infection that comes from e-Coli. Keep an eye on her poop.
