    Lead Based Paint

    We had a chicken who got lead poisoning once. She got very sick but managed to pull through. She is a silkie who ate the paint off of our kitchen cabinets. We live in a 1929 home. The vet did a test and said that from a 1- 10... 11 meaning dead... she had a 39! No one was sure how she lived...

    Sweet Sick Silkie...

    As today is wearing on she seems to be more and more off balance. When you put her down after feeding her she falls over before getting her balance... kind of. She dosen't want to stand up at all. It would seem like a head trauma to me if she hadn't been inside with us and we know she...

    pneumonia, day 10 with meds and no improvement - what to do?

    I agree with the Olive Leaf. We use if if we (the humans in the house) think we are getting an infection... works like a charm 90% of the time! I would be curious to know how it works for your bird... let us know if you use it and if it helps. We just get ours from the health food store.
