foreveryoung Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I don't know whats wrong with her.... shes quiet, sleepy, empty crop and refusing broccoli, her comb has purple edging and seems to be thin. shes very unsteady on her legs - slightly wobbly, took her to the vet and they are keeping her in over night, they said it could be a number of things but most probably egg peritonitis (sp?) they are going to do a scan of her tummy and are going to give her some rehydration fluid..... i think shes going to cost my lots of ££££ but as long as she gets better will keep you informed emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millie-Annie Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 So sorry to hear about Poppy. I really don't think there is ever any point in treating peritonitis though, it seems to get them in the end no matter what Sorry xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
