bottledcherryangel Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi there I've been reading up and I think one of my hens might have this. She has a white discharge from her vent. It isn't smelly, but there is plenty of it. I'd be glad of any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If it doesn't smell it may be urates. Vet told me they make more following an infection. Any other signs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If she has vent gleet (a yeast infection) then the smell is unmistakable. As Plum has said she may have another infection, but then a little white discharge isn't unusual in older hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottledcherryangel Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi again. Thank you for replying. It just smells of ammonia. She is going about her business in a lively sort of way, but I'm pretty sure that she is no longer laying. I guess I'll have to see what happens. Is the urates situation likely to be ongoing do you think or is there something I can give her to help her get over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
