@heyfoxychick How are your turkeys doing? Getting any better?

Oh, that is a great idea! I love coconut oil for everything for myself but hadn't thought about using it for the animals!

Here is a photo of Lucy and Katie before the incident. This was taken right after we got them. They came together and are inseparable so this has been pretty stressful for both of them.

This is how we had wrapped it before we took her to the vet to help immobilize the leg. The vet said it wouldn't have healed correctly since it was a full break but that we did a great job making sure she didnt hurt herself further.

That is what we were thinking about. Luckily the leg is starting to retain heat, but not all the time. She has another checkup tomorrow, so our fingers are crossed. We also found out that there is a place specializing in waterfowl prosthetics pretty close to us. So if we have to, we know there...

Two weeks ago, we found one of our toulouse geese with a broken leg. Her name is Katie and she is about a year old. We aren't too sure how it happened but it the femur was completely broken and sticking out of the skin. We cleaned and disinfected the site and then made a splint and wrapped it to...
