My sweet girl Ravioli has something going on - and it happened over the course of just a few days.
She will walk short distances but then ends up sitting like the picture or standing puffed out. Her feathers are fluffed out most of the time and her abdomen is squishy feeling. I don’t feel any eggs stuck or broken inside of her even when I gloved up. Her crop is emptying and there is no odor from her mouth. Her breathing is fine and she does eat and drink a little bit (her crop is not nearly as full as it usually is at the end of the day). No mites, her color is good, but she does seem like she’s in pain when I pick her up. Her poops are very watery, mostly clear with some yellow - and sometimes it seems like it is leaking out of her - and some are very stinky. She hasn’t laid an egg since at least Friday (when we brought her inside). I thought maybe vent gleet or cocci but her symptoms don’t match completely with either one. I don’t know a ton about water belly and am curious if these symptoms all align with it.
Any ideas what might be going on and how to treat her? I’m just not sure where to start. I included pics of her in her laying and puffy stance and one with her vent. Thank you in advance!
