Hey, back to the sutures... has anyone tried super glue on peafowl? I had forgotten about using super glue until I needed to close up a laceration on my finger earlier this evening. I was debating whether it needed a stitch in it, when I remembered that the ER often glues things back together...

Tiny's toe splint had loosened up when I checked it today, so I removed it to see whether it needed to be reapplied. The toes are looking much better. The splint has been off most of the day, and so far the toes are staying straight most of the time. The inner toe is still a bit weak, so I'm...

Toothpicks! Yes, that would definitely help in positioning the toes on the sticky tape. Bandaids would work ok on regular curly toes, I think, but this chick needed something more rigid to stabilize the toe joint. I think s/he somehow damaged the joint trying to walk on the curly toes. The...

Going back to our list of useful medical supplies & gadgets... I am adding to my birthday "wish list" a hemostat and a nice pair of bandage scissors. Presently have a chick with a persistent toe issue -- it didn't uncurl correctly while I was out of town, and I think the chick injured the...

Awesome doctoring @DylansMom ! I dunno how you got through that without tossing your cookies. Gross trivia... At various times, maggots have been used to clean wounds, based on the fact that some (though apparently not all) maggots eat decaying flesh rather than live flesh. The original...

@PeaLover130 still tells people about the time I sewed up her chicken chick on the kitchen table. I can't remember if I used the invisible thread or the fishing line -- I just remember scavenging the house and garage for adaptable materials and dousing all my stuff with rubbing alcohol. I just...

Well, after digging some more, I found sulfadimethoxine available -- it's a similar drug. I'm racking my aging, CRS brain and I think I read (like last year) about the similarities and some subtle differences between the Sulmet version and the sulfadimethoxine (if I have that correct, who...

Yes, there are still some places with it on the product list but they are all "backordered" or "long-term backordered" or "sold out." I just bought two (just barely) expired bags of powder at TSC, then went by the small, independent place I go for specialty feeds -- they had a larger bag with...

If you can find Sulmet, buy it. If you have Sulmet on hand, hoard it. It has vanished from the market.
