hi everyone,
i have a hen who seems to have mild ascites. when you feel underneath her, there is an obvious sag in her skin with liquid which is why i am assuming ascites. except, i know that with ascites, you cant stick the needle in the left side because of organs and all of that. but when i feel on her left side, there is a hard lump. it is underneath the skin and it is hard for me to actually feel how big it is. it seems to be long which is why i am wondering if it is an organ or a tumor or something else. any opinions would be very helpful.
thank you!
