Hunched over, comb on side, hardish crop, squishy bottom

Yes, the white area seems more than usual and with the belly issues i thought yeast was a concern. I looked in her mouth for thrush signs and looked like maybe some at the back of her throat.
So oregano water really helps with ascitis?
I've made some tonics that helped but it always comes back.. that hard belly in the front with squish bottom
Yes, oregano should help with her stress. Do you have any Acidified Copper Sulfate on hand?
Do you think you could remove some of the fluid?

I do have copper sulfate liquid.
I tried on another one of my hens before. It didn't help and she died. I go to extremes to help them many times and it's usually the same outcome. They get better then eventually die i break my heart every time.
If you can share the link I'll take a look but i did throw out my syringe i had. Tractor supply didn't have it last time and i had to get it from my local pharmacy but they did have the size recommended so i went smaller
Grateful for your responses and help

Yes, it is always heart breaking!

Yes the protocol you use when you drain it. She's so full i feel bad. I did give her a pain and anti inflammatory i had for my cat when i thought i was going to lose her so she wouldn't suffer and that actually helped with the swelling so gave her that again tonight
Thank you for your help! :)
 
@Cj Tracker how is she today? Sorry if she isn't well.
I gave her some supplements like I've been with milk thistle, garlic, oil oregano etc i have to find where to get the syringe. Tractor supply here doesn't carry them. I'm reluctant to do it but she clearly wants to live.
Manipulating gently today i feel an egg moving. I need to give her room to push it out so i need to syringe that fluid away

Hmm... I'm not sure where else you can find a syringe! I got mine from TSC. Maybe a feed store nearby had one?

I got the syringe, she was so full of fluid. Relief on her face immediately. I found another video they didn't extract but put the needle and let it drain. It did. I'm wondering if her forward position as i was doing it caused her to get fluid in her lungs. She began gurgling after i stopped. Ate a little bit still stood like a penguin. I watched her while she ate some egg. I stayed about 20 min outside with her. She wasn't moving much. I checked on her another 10 min later she was on her side with fluid draining from her mouth. I was hoping to resuscitate but it was just so much yellow mush some sour crop for sure then she passed as i kept letting it drain hoping she would recover but didn't. :(
Thank you.. it's so hard when they pass.
 
I'm so sorry. Yes, it is emotionally painful to watch them deteriorate. You did what you could to help her. Hopefully you can find comfort in that.:hugs
