Egg yolk peritonitis (EYP) is basically internal laying. We had to take her back to the vet last week for some more treatment and to have a implant injected into her chest – OMG
The implant releases hormone signals which prevent any more (soft) eggs from being laid, it is the secreting egg material which leads to egg peritonitis. Apparently the implant which costs $99 lasts about four months, Ruby had the same thing but she recovered with one course of antibiotics and did not need the implant. To add to all the stress and worry Speckles is moulting as well!
