I am hopeful that this will clear up what's ailing her.I'm glad you have someone who can help.
I was wondering how you isolated her.
Ok. Not a dreadful outcome anyway.
Medh has been to the vet again. She is not a well chicken. Temp; bit of blood in her droppings, hugely swollen belly & not really eating or drinking.
I can't afford x~rays which might show a blockage or tumour ~ I just don't have unlimited funds or even a regular income ~ but probably not Ascites . Possibly a touch of cocci brought about by whatever else is ailing her. Possibly egg peritonitis. She is on a broad spectrum antibiotic & the vet gave her a shot of something to make her feel better.
She is a lovely little chicken & was super well behaved throughout her examination. Given she's a Campine that's almost @ miracle status!
The vet will bring something over to treat everyone for cocci. I had terrible trouble getting Amprolium last time & this time the Littlies got treated 1st before I ran out.

My vet is really nice & enjoys talking chicken.Last time I showed her my new acquisitions & like most people she was charmed. They are very pretty chickies! She keeps chickens herself, always a bonus, & wanted to know where I had acquired mine. I didn't have the information on me so wrote it down for her this time & she was thrilled I had remembered her interest & got the information for her. She has finally talked her hubby into building her a nice big coop ...
...don't we all know this story...& hopes to have pictures to show me next visit. So despite my worry about Medh it was a really nice visit & she's very good with my chickens. Gentle & doesn't spook them.

So sorry about Medh.

Medh has always been a little funny ~ not sick but not quite right either. Anything extra is just too much stress on her body & she starts going downhill. Hopefully she will rally & come good.
Indeed SHRAAnd now you know!
For sure, Ribh!Well, I started with big girls. Little hens frightened me. Now, personality wise, the little girls have seduced me, & I'm dealing with my fear of their size. Ridiculous, I know, but they always just feel so fragile. I adore my Campines [as everyone knows] & they aren't much bigger than a bantam. A number of my new girls are bitzas too ~ Olivia & Titania ~ & they have personality plus! Beauty & brains; a winning combination in my book.
Oh my gosh, that looks and sounds amazing.
Gooo, Gloriana!
