That's fair. I don't want to cause her any further discomfort or damage if trying to draw out that substance isn't viable. I am going to try that detox and look into thr the antibiotics. Thank you for linking that

I haven't done any antibiotocs, she hasn't displayed any visual symptoms until just recently and hadn't seemed bloated. I last drained her in December. I just want to do what I can so she's comfortable

I'm about 95% sure it's the same hen that I had to drain before. I have a lot of birds, but she's in the same coop and is the same breed. I checked the video I took of me draining her to try and confirm. I can't be sure she's the one who laid the lash egg, as I found that in a mote common area...

Hey, everyone. I have a hen who I've had to drain months ago for water belly. Everything went fine and I drained a few hundred Mls of mostly clear fluid out of her. She perked up soon after and all was well. She's now bloated again and my attempts to drain aren't going as well. I pulled this...

Yeah, I've stopped trying to drain her. I just thought her abdomen would be less swollen and she'd be able stand more chicken like especially with how much I got out of her. That's a good point she could be the same one that deposited that piece, but I feel like she may not be only because it...

So I've read through a lot of threads on here and looked up a lot of articles and youtube videos. I'm looking for thought and opinions on my specific circumstance here. I have a hen that I think is probably laying internally. She has penguin stance, is off balance, and has the enlarged squishy...

During my morning chicken routine, I found what I know think may be a lash egg on the floor of one of my coops. At first, after directing it, I thought it was some shredded interior liner based of how it unrolled a d how rubbery and tough it felt. I found some previous posts on here with...

Hey, folks. I've gotten some help here before and now I'm back for some advice. I have a girl that had been molting and getting picked on a bit. A lot of her neck feathers ate gone and she's been pecked at her wing where I caught it bleeding. I've been apply blue kote to keep the others away and...

Unfortunately she died this morning when I was giving her a salt bath. She never excreted over night, just clear leakage. Thanks to both of you for responding to this thread

I administered the molasses while she soaked in a bath. Hopefully she turns it around and improves, I feel so bad for her. Thanks for all the advice

Does it have to be black strap molasses or will regular unsulfered work just as well? I had actually just emptied what I could from her crop before coming back to check this. fair amount of burping with that too. It was vile.

I've tried feeling her crop and it doesn't feel compacted, I thought that might have been it when I first saw her spit up, but it feels pretty squishy

Up to today she had been drinking a fair amount. She had an Epsom salt bath yesterday and this morning and I plan to give her another one soon. I've put vetrx under her nostrils a couple times as well. There's been no signs of any poop. She had been spitting up liquid a few times, but when I...

There has been a change to her status, not for the better. I gave her the two teaspoons of coconut oil this morning. No poops as of yet. She now seems to be audibly breathing almost exclusively through her mouth. I looked as far down as I could with a flash light and didn't see any obstruction...

Ahh, I see. I thought the molasses flush was in the event she didn't end up being able do poop after the oil. Got it

Thank you. What's an appropriate amount of time to wait between giving her the oil and doing a molasses flush? I'm going out to get the coconut oil now

I have a chicken that's been lethargic, puffy and retracted, and slowing down. She's been visibly unwell for a couple days and I've been treating her for thing I thought it might be. I was just drying her off after a salt bath and noticed hay and straw sticking out of her vent. I pulled on it a...
