Thought she was laying internally-she died on surgery table. UPDATED!!

[chickensioux]

Tulip, my 3 yr. old buff cochin had a huge, hot lump between her legs, about the size of a grapefruit. I thought she had laid internally and my vet agreed and we prepared her for surgery. There was nothing in there. No eggs, no edema. Just alot of very yellow fat and her temp. was l05. She died during surgery. She just stopped breathing. We are sending her body to the diagnostic lab. Anyone ever have anything similar? And again, always the same question - Why is it always your favorite ones?

I'm so sorry about her.

Can't say why it's always your favorite, but I do feel your pain. I got a sick one right now and I have no idea what's going on. She was fine yesterday. That's the way with chickens.


Hope you feel better soon.

Necropsy Report - Congestive Heart failure and pulmonary edema. Her heart gave out. Not a thing I could've done. She would have died slowly. Thankfully she died under anesthesia and didn't know a thing. RIP Tulip, I miss you.
