I wass too late. She died in my arms as I tried to save her not more than 25 minutes after posting this note.
In the end, she had very labored breathing and was gurgling. When I opened her mouth to look inside, I honestly could not find her tongue.
I gave her a little liquid antibiotic, but she refused it. While I was preparing to put a hole in her abdomen to relieve the pressure, she passed away.
She was a great egg layer and quite a pretty RIR.
Poor baby. I buried her deep in the ground by the creek where it is peaceful.

Rhode Island Red
Age 2 years
Large Bird
Stool has been good
She started walking "wide-legged" yesterday.
Olive oil exam in vent - I could feel nothing
Eyes clear
No appetite now
crop, half full and feels normal
While she initially ran from me just now, she's stopped moving and is laying down.
Her legs and feet have sort of a pink tinge, just barely noticeable
She is suddenly very weak.
WHAT DO I DO???
