My 3 year old BO had pastey butt for a bit and then things took a turn and she looks rough. (See photo)

She was isolating on our patio, half asleep and not moving much. Her comb is pale, not eating or drinking much. I’ve now had her resting in the garage for two days now with bottom baths with Epsom salts. I put a bit of ACV in her water. Any advice what else? I’m an amateur and still learning what’s what.

She has not laid an egg since and her poops look okay but only had a couple.

Any advice appreciated 🫶

It looks like egg yolk or yellow urates, hard to tell. Not Vent Gleet.

If she's not laid an egg and should have, then I'd give her Extra Calcium asap. You can find Calcium Citrate+D3 at stores like Walmart, CVS, etc., in the vitamin aisle.

Give at least 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week.

Work on hydration. See if she will drink a bit of sugar water or electrolytes. Once hydrated, then offer some wet mushy feed.

Ah thank you!! Such practical advice, will do!

Her comb is especially pale and she’s so sad. Though some is frost bite, silly girl went outside in -30. Dang girls grow on ya and then make you worry!
