Cystic right oviduct

[Jenjens]

Hello,

There is no information online where to insert the needle for cystic right oviduct...only water belly. Can someone with experience please help me? I poke her 4 times and nothing came out and thought I would wait a few days so she isn't traumatized, but I would love to know if someone knows the spot to insert the needle, so I don't keep poking her. And yes, it is not water belly. It is cystic right oviduct. I have drained her before but I never did it all at once. I can't find that "sweet spot" again to drain her.
Thank you in advance.!

@azygous, have you ever dealt with this?

Update. I tried a few more times, and all I am getting is air. She is breathing heavy, but I had to give up for today. The syringes are very hard to pull as well. I tried a smaller syringe and same thing. Very hard to pull and only getting air.

I'm sorry. I have never even heard of a cystic right oviduct.

But please be very cautious about sticking a needle in numerous times. Bacteria can contaminate the stick site and kill very quickly.

Here is a video of the largest one I have ever seen:

Oh well the video will not show up, but you can look for it on YouTube. Infectious bronchitis virus in young chicks or pullets can sometimes lead to a persistent or cystic right oviduct. Here is an article to read:

I don't know how to do that. I tried All over her right side to be honest. But not very high by the oviduct. I was mostly following the procedure of water belly since a few inches to the left and down of the cloaca had worked for me in the past. Do you think I should try moving up? I did see that picture yesterday but was hesitant to move up higher

How did you diagnose the issue?
I'd recommend stopping, you're going to do more harm than good at this point and we don't want that.

I too would say stop poking her with a needle. The heavy breathing is a sign of stress and stress will kill.
