debsiddle Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi everyone, I have read other posts on peritonitis with hope, as my girl Lola has it. She had 280ml of fluid removed on Tueday, is on clavaseptin, frusemide and metacam. She is eating reasonably well (chick mash, mealworms, maggots, tomatoes, cucumber). She still can't walk properly though as she is still swollen round her vent. The vet said the muscle had been stretched due to the amount of fluid, so isn't surprised she's still like this, but I'm sure others have experienced this? I'm taking her back to the vets this afternoon to see if she needs draining again. The vet didn't give much hope with EP, but I have read some hope inspiring posts. Anyone else experienced this? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have had a hen treated for peritonitis who recovered well. I know it doesn't always work but it can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debsiddle Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Was she swollen/had to have fluid removed? I'm concerned even though 280ml have been removed she's still swollen and can't walk. What was her treatment? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
