Do you have gentimicin on hand? It may work better than the terramycin for her eye.
If the whole thing started as a URI, treating her with Tylan might a better option to help combat the swelling since it looks like it extends to just below the sinus cavity. Is she still in good spirits despite...
Update for future reference:
We took her to the vet where her abdomen was palpated- the doctor agreed it felt like an egg, but decided to do an xray to confirm. The xray came back negative for an egg, but there looked to be some sort of mass in her abdomen. Doctor did a mini biopsy (it looked...
Ok, update:
She was soaking for almost an hour and there's no progress... if anything she's worse. I still can't feel anything through her vent, but I'm pretty sure there's an egg, but it's stuck in the region below her cloaca, I just can't physically feel it with the gloves. :/
I have a 3yr old RIR hen that I found standing pinguin style in the coop tonight. I checked her vent with a glove and could feel any egg, but her posterior abdomen is hard. I'm giving her 1mL of calcium glucantate orally and have her inside for monitoring. Any suggestions on what else I can do?

We were feeding our gosling waterfowl specific feed, but he still needed the extra niacin boost since he had wobbly legs. Nutritional yeast was a really affordable way to supplement that. Just mix it in with the feed (:
Hello! And welcome to the world of geese! :)
I have 1 gander, and we raised him with our chickens and he's been a wonderful flock guardian for us. We also had a duck for about a year before she unfortunately passed away. My duck was a lot younger than my gander, and so they never really got...
Hello,
This isn't a chicken question, but I'm hoping someone with experience in broken legs with poultry chicks can offer some advice:
I have a 3wk old baby parrot that I'm currently rehabilitating, he was born with severe splay leg and so we used vet wrap to wrap his little legs together to...
