So what'd we decide what this is? I just did a post mortum and my girl had exactly the same thing.

No, Didn't think of it but will next time, Deaths are rare luckily and at least I know there was nothing I could do for her. It was that egg peritonitis from all the other pics I have seen of it for sure like a couple of potatoes that had tree rings to them, in side what looked like a large intestine, maybe swelled up 2.5". I was sure I felt a wad of string in her crop and that's what it was but there was notheing there. just was so swelled up it shut her guts off
