Possible egg peritonitis

Thank you guys! Today she seems better than yesterday. She’s eating/socializing more and her crop feels nice and full. She’s also hard to catch again and putting up more of a fuss when I pick her up. There’s still no egg and her butt is a mess of poop. For now I’m going to leave her out since she’s doing better.

I’m going to pick up some calcium citrate today to see if that helps. I have baytril as an antibiotic if I need it.

Here’s 2 pic of her from today. Not sure if her vent is swollen.

...... and her crop feels nice and full.
But is her crop fully emptying over night?
An important thing to know and why you would isolate her for at least one night.
They are pretty easy to 'catch' on the roost after dark, feel crop then pop them into a crate with just water...next morning check crop and overnight poops before feeding.

Giving antibiotics without knowing what is wrong with her might only complicate her symptoms and make her sicker.
