Update. The vet opened her Crop with surgery.How large are the rocks? I will find out tomorrow.
I will see the x-rays or what the vet gets out of her.
I told my husband no rocks in the yard when he put
pallet steps up to the coop. I don't like rocks it is hard for the
girls to walk on. Well, of course there are rocks up there under the pallets.
I can only surmise this is where she got the rocks.
I buy grit for them. She had never seen the rocks before and possibly
ate them for grit. Girls are smarter than Boys sometimes.
she had some maybe one or two corn kernels
and about a five inch diameter of grass and rotted
every thing else. I did put in the compost the dried kernels on the cob in it.
BUT with this come the next....she also has egg peritonitis which I think caused
the backed up crop, all those pre eggs in her abdomen could have blocked
her crop from moving the food down. I am sick for her.
On one hand got her all cleaned out as far as her crop
but now how long will she live ? I always get so sad and sick about them.
Her name is Muffs, she had those cute feather muffs on her ears,
I give her syringed water and egg, no solid cooking of the egg yet.
She is not able to move her left leg it sticks out behind her.
If I did not feed her she would die.
Keeping the fluids going to help things move along.
She has had two poos. but none as yet today.
Please say a prayer for her.
Thank you.
