Hello all,
Yesterday we found one of our 2-1/2 year old sexlinks outside in the run at dark. She either didn't have the strength or desire to go in. We gave her a good look over and with the exception of her left foot curled under a bit, she checked out okay. We separated her last night in a crate with pine shavings. We gave her 1ml of Nutra Drench with a syringe and a bit of water to chase it. She ate an egg last night as well. Today, she has a swollen and hard belly. The pine shavings are soaked with a very strong ammonia fluid. I'm not 100% sure its water belly because it is pretty hard. Has anyone had this (water belly) with the ammonia discharge? I only have 20 ga. needles on hand and that might be too small to drain if it is in fact water belly.
She got a good soak to clean her up and everything else looks okay. Comb is still a bit shrunken but color is a bit better today
Thoughts???
