Thanks. I already emailed my vet what is going on, and I am going to call at 8 when they open. I also found this morning that her crop seems compacted crop. It was still hard and the size of a golf ball when I just checked her. I have watched videos on clearing a compacted crop but it seems it always takes 2 people and I dont have that right now. Hopefully I can get her into the vet first thing and get her completely checked out.
Thanks I will pass that along to my vet. I dropped Dottie off this morning and she is being looked at now.
I actually printed off your first message about the findings on your hen and took it with her when I dropped her off at the vet and passed it along.
Thanks for following up. She is starting to do better. Her blood work came back yesterday and the vet explained it all pretty technical. Simply put her blood was a mess. Started treatment for Salpingitis and she got her started on 22.7mg of Enrofloxacin twice a day for 2 weeks. She is eating and drinking and her dropping are looking more normal. She has not laid anything since the vet extracted what I am told was probably a lash egg on Monday, but with everything going on with her I dont expect anything and actually hope she reserves her energy to getting better.
New Update. Dottie is getting much better. I still have her isolated in the garage as recommended by the vet to keep her separated to rest for 7-10 days. She is still getting antibiotics for another week. She is doing much better. I took her out in the side yard yesterday for about 15 minutes and she ran around and loved eating clover leaves. She also surprised me this morning with an egg. First normal egg she has laid in over a month.
