Hello, I agree with you that the bruising shown is extremely concerning. This is abnormal and suggests trauma likely due to egg laying or difficulty laying eggs. Egg binding, ectopic eggs, or broken eggs can all be life threatening in birds. Please do not delay in seeking veterinary care for Susie. It is her best chance of receiving quick, appropriate medical intervention in order to recover. If you have more questions, you may request a consult. Good luck.
