Hi I was hoping someone could give me some advice. One of my girls does not seem well. She laid a softie on Sunday after a couple of hours of seeming unwell.

Yesterday she had the same same symptoms but no egg. She won't come out of the cube today.

I don't think she's egg bound as she laid the softie on Sunday. There also seems to be a little bit of egg whites in her pop, she's also drinking loads. They were worked in June so it can't be worms.

Any advice?

 

Thanks

How old is she? Is she eating at all?

 

It is very difficult to suggest a possible diagnosis, but there is obviously something wrong in the laying department and if she won't come out of the cube I would guess that she is feeling pretty awful. If she were mine, I would take her to the vet for a check up.

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but didn't want to leave your question unanswered.

Hi tweedy,

 

She's only 7 months old and has been laying really well. She is eating but only small amounts of treats, I don't think she has eaten any layers pellets.

As she laid the softie on Sunday is she likely to be egg bound?

When I get home I'm going to have a feel around. What do I need to look for? If I can feel anything egg like will oil down her throat help?

Thanks

Does she normally eat layers pellets?

 

I have come to find that if in doubt go to the vet, even a phone call to the vet can often put your mind at rest, without the stress or fee of a full consultation.

It's possible that she might be brewing another softie, It does make them feel very poorly. Do you give them mixed grit?

[Leonie56]

I have tried to give them mixed grit but they won't touch it. I might try mixing it with their food.

I think il have to take her to the vet. I don't get home from work until 6 so Im hoping by some miracle she's laid something whilst I've been at work!

 

Thanks

Well after getting home from work I've had a feel and can't feel anything. Felt round her belly but seems normal nothing egg shaped or hard. I gave her some yogurt and ten minutes later she did a watery White poo I'm thinking that's because of the yogurt? If she was egg bound would she be able to poo?
