Sasha's autopsy

[MochaDuck]

I’d get her In some nice warm water let her soak for. While gently palpate her tummy for an egg. You maybe able to feel one mAybe not. This is where a vet could examine to determine if she is egg bound. Do you have any calcium supplements?

I don't think. Where can I get them (pharmacy or farm store)?

Does palpate just mean kind of massage and feel for an egg? Where would I feel her? Do I need Espom salts?

I just placed her in some warm water and she loaded down, kinda like she liked it. Good or bad sign?

Did you feel around in front of her bent for an egg? Sometimes when they are standing, you can see that area dropping very close to the ground, and bulged where an egg might be.
If she liked the warm water, I’d keep her in it for a few minutes.

I suppose you checked her over for injuries? Bites? Bugs?

BAD UPDATE!:
She's been wheezing a little bit. She was laying in her warm water soak and was acting relaxed. We held a dish of Gatorade towards her beak and she turned her head away. Then she threw her head back and curled it in a weird way, flapping around. Then she laid down and got weaker as if she was dying!!!! Last I saw she was still alive, but that was onto a couple of minutes ago.

I've looked her one a littlle bit. I'll look some more.

Aside from looking how else can you tell if they're egg bound?

 

[MochaDuck]

She's dead

Does anyone know how expensive it is to do a autopsy?

I’m so sorry,it’s so sad that they hide their illness so well sometimes when it’s too late to do anything. @casportpony i believe has a list of places in states that do necropsy. Do you have a vet for other animals they maybe able to tell you where to send the body. Please keep us updated.

Call a lab in your state and ask:

Thanks everyone for your help. We found an autopsy place. But @casportpony I'll make a note of your place in case it happens again.
