Is she due to lay? Could she have a softie on the way? When was she last flubenvet wormed?

[Tiggy]

she could be brewing a softy, hasnt layed all winter, and I started flubavent yesterday its probably been over a month since I wormed them last - hadnt thought about a softy

[Chucky Mama]

It shouldn't be a worm issue if you wormed them a month ago. In standard conditions they only need doing every 3-4 months. Have a gentle feel of her abdomen to check it doesn't feel overly hard, swollen or fluid filled. You can compare by feeling the others. You may be able to feel the egg or general swelling or hardness may indicate peritonitis or a tumour.

I think she is really poorly her crop feels empty & hard & there is horrible slime coming out of the vent, I ve had to go to work & leave her trip to the vet in the morning if she's still here

[Chucky Mama]

Any news?

Hi Tiggy

 

Just posted reply to your entry on my post about my poor Georgina who was sadly PTS on Thursday with a tumour. You said your bubbles seemed the same and you were taking her to the vet today, how did you get on? I hope she and you are ok.

 

Josephine, Bluebell, Matilda

RIP Georgina

Bubbles had peritonitis, had a soft egg stuck in there, the smell was terrible but she seemed to perk up at the vets so had some baytril but she died in my arms a few hours later. I felt very guilty that I didnt spot it sooner but the vet said there was probrably nothing we could do anyway. What do I do with baytril? should I give it to the others or just hold on to it?

 

I did a huge clear out in the run and eglu it looks very good now, RIP Bubbles

[Chucky Mama]

So sorry to hear your news Don't give the Baytril to the others. You could hang on to it but don't use it unless advised to by a vet. You could see if the vet will take it back if unopened but they are not really allowed to reuse it.
