Trouble Breathing! Help me please! :)

She is 2yrs old and last laid hmmmm......I have to say 2-4 months ago?. She has had egg problems her whole life. Most eggs were soft and small.

does the crop go down? Are you still getting solids out of the crop, or can you feel any still in there?

Crop does not go down. When I make her vomit, she lets out everything I gave her that morning. I got her crop empty but when I fill her up, it doesn't go down at all. If that makes sense

( it doesn't feel up and empty on it's own.)

Does her abdomen feel normal, or does it feel bloated (below the vent between the legs?

I can feel her breast bone and bones. She feels normal just very bone-y. Lost weight since last week. Now she is 3lbs.

I had a reply ready to send. Is there a way I can get that back without having to re write it???

Never mind. Got it to work.

I really don’t know what else you can do for her. Once rubber or a foreign object reach the gizzard, you just have to hope that it gets broken down by the gizzard and works it’s way through the intestines. Is she getting access to grit?

No, I hadn't put grit in the coop yet. It's been about over a month since they've had any.

Okay, so I'm thinking she has something like an egg in her? What do you think? Here is a video of what she is doing. You can also hear her.

Her comb and face color look very bad. Can you have her drink some water with electrolytes or some Gatorade? If you think that she might be egg bound, a human calcium tablet or Tums cut in half could be given orally to help pass an egg?

I have been giving her electroytes but it doesn't even pass through. Her crop doesn't empty

I could try, but I don't think she can digest anything.

If not even fluids are passing through, then I think she's pretty ill. The two most likely possibilities are a reproductive problem (cancer, infection, internal laying etc.), or she did eat something she shouldn't have and it's impacted the gizzard. I wasn't able to zoom in on the original pictures of the rubbery contents of her crop, but now wonder if maybe rather than rubber that was infectious material. If something caused a puncture in the gizzard, infection would follow. Reproductive problems will often slow or stop digestion as well, the bodies last ditch effort to conserve energy. It is often very hard to figure out what's going on inside until necropsy. If nothing is passing, then continuing to give her stuff is just going to let it sit in the crop and sour
