Mrs Summers an ex-bat had antibiotics about a month ago as she was a bit listless although eating and drinking, she picked up within a day and was fine until now. She is displaying the same symptoms today, standing around and then having a wander and is eating she dived for the spaghetti earlier ) - she does feel a bit squishy in her tummy. I am collecting more antibiotics in the morning as they have no appointments and I have to work in the afternoon (I can take her on Sunday if no improvement), does it sound like peritonitis ? My vet said antibiotics will help for now -if it is but what about long term prognosis - she will be 2 1/2 in September (guess).

 

I've just done a search and she doesn't have green poo or waddling but is red underneath (she pulls her own feathers out ).

My ex batt Lily had peritonitis on and off for about six months. She would have days when she stood around not doing much but still eating and drinking and would run for treats. She was three years old. If it is peritonitis the long term prognosis isn't good. lily had good days and bad days and seemed fairly well in herself most of the time. It was when the bad days started to outnumber the good days that I had her PTS. Hopefully the antibiotics will help Mrs Summers.

Mrs Summers has picked up and I have let her out for a wander this evening but is going for a vet check tomorrow as pulling out her own feathers and is underweight - wonder if she can have a vit injection ?

If she's feeling squishy underneath, she may have peritonitis

 

The only time it's time to call it a day is when you can see she is really squishy and starts walking like John Wayne.. This happened to Ace my ex batt and then she started struggling breathing... I then had her PTS

Could be Ascites.....water belly?? My Haystack had that and the Vet drained it several times ...not a cure but delayed the inevitable.

She has the all clear for peritonitis from the vet this am, think she had a chest infection but is clear there too She had a vitamin injection as she is a bit thin so hopefully she is on the mend now
