Ascites can happen with many different organ diseases.

Great references @casportpony !

Thanks, I love finding good links. Quite right the different causes... Oh, the stories I could tell you. most recent ascites was in the turkey with oviduct cancer, and have seen it in a few others with oviduct cancer, one of which was necropsied by UC Davis. Have also seen it in hens with EYP, and in one young male peachick. Cause of his ascites was a heart defect.
