Luvachicken Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks mullethunter. I will give mine some as I'm still not sure Gemma's crop is 100% either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 After being fine for the last 3 days and this morning, when I got home from work Bernie was poorly again. So we went to the vets. The vet was very good, checked crop, smelled breath, felt abdomen, listened to chest, and said there's nothing apparently wrong with her. She said she suspects it may be pain caused by ovulation or another part of the egg production process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I bet it's the egg turning bit! Looked plainful in the animation alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well at least you know now The mystery of why the symptoms came and went solved Did the vet offer any suggestions for Bernie? Or is it just the way it's going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 She said if it is pain the only way to ease it in a chicken is by injecting painkillers. She suggested I think about it for a while but bearing in mind it's quite expensive and not easy I'll only go down that route if it happens more frequently or is worse.

Luvachicken Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm glad she is ok. It is reassuring when the vet tells us that they are fine, if a little expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
