Patricia W Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 You need to separate her so the others don't attack her. CAn you bring her inside and keep her warm. My instinct would be to take her to the vet though Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinpl Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Have you any idea what it may be? Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 She could be egg bound or it could be peritonitis - that's where an egg has broken inside her on the way out and it's all gone bad. Either way, you'll need a vet. But I'm not an expert at all - there are others here who are - they must be out shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Sorry to hear about your poorly girl, Tricia . (Welcome to the forum, by the way .) I'm not an expert I'm afraid but I did wonder if she might be egg bound? There's some info here. There are plenty of people who can offer advice so have a read of that and let us know if you think it might be what's wrong .

Egluntyne Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I agree....keep her warm and take her to the vet if she doesn't perk up. A calcium supplement might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
