    Possible egg bound chicken

    Yet another update: she passed away 2wks ago- the Dexamethasone helped for a bit and she had an appetite till the end, but the mass eventually just got too large. :/

    Infectious coryza vs mycoplasma

    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...

    Possible egg bound chicken

    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...

    Palpated her abdomen further, the egg feels sideways? How would one fix that of they can't feel the egg in the vent?

    Possible egg bound chicken

    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. :/

    Possible egg bound chicken

    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?

On my way back...

My boyfriend is desperately looking for someone willing to temporarily hold his cat for him while he looks for a place of his own or until we can find a way to get the cat over to me (I'm located...

    NEW GOOSE OWNER!!! What do I do?!

    "BRAGG" and "Now" are good, you can usually find them in most "healthy food" stores like sprouts or wholefoods

    NEW GOOSE OWNER!!! What do I 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 (:
