I just read your reply above to the poor woman with her very sick chicken. Poor things.. BOTH her AND the chicken I mean. It just literally broke my heart to see pictures of that poor little chicken!!! But she's taking such great care of her and I'm just praying she pulls through for her. I can see the love she has for her. She's just like me with my two!!! I also have a very sick 10yr old doggie that I've been nursing 24/7 since JANUARY when this nightmare began. I've been in our bedroom on this bed almost constantly here with him!!! I'm about to lose it already.. Lol But he is everything to me!!! I love him truly from my soul. I can't bear to lose him and pray and pray that God will give us a miracle and heal him so we can have more time together!!! Thank goodness at least my two kitties are fine!!! Lol
It's amazing that I've got not one but THREE "babies", all very sick at the same time isn't it? I keep asking WHAT DID I DO SO WRONG FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME? Oh I'm just so stressed out to say the least.
But anyways, I didn't know about the hydrating part??? Gosh I've just been tubing the KayTee in her daily with the Baytril. I also add Nutri Drench (GREAT STUFF... it perks her right up!!) a 1cc of Calcium the vet ordered last time she was sick like this, AND I'm giving her some Nysyatin also!!! I know it sounds like so much, but she SEEMS to be improving!!! I mean I see her eating some already again and that's A HUGE plus!!! She does drink water.. I've seen her many times at the water bowl. She's not had anymore of that nasty stuff on her backside either today!!! So SOMETHING is working with what I'm giving her. Lol
I am VERY lucky to have a vet that we've used for 10 yrs now... since my little dog was born, and he therefore knows me well, hugs and kisses each time we see him etc etc, that kind of relationship. Almost like family at this point you know??? So he will give me just about anything I need for my boy as he knows I'm also a nurse and am pretty good at knowing how to handle my dogs medications etc etc by now!!! So all I have to do is call him and tell him Tai has some blood and leukocytes in his urine again and needs the Baytril (my boy has stones in his bladder and even some in his kidneys) and he'll get it for me and have it ready to pick up. So that's how I happened to have the Baytril. I didn't even KNOW that it was used to treat chickens until I did some research. Then much less about the FDA ban!!! But we won't go there cause I'm certain your views are EXACTLY as mine when it comes to that subject. I'm not going to sit back and say, "OK Livie I have medicine here that will or can save your life.. but sorry the FDA says I can't give it to you!!!" NOT!!! LOL
WELL.. i just wanted to chat at you as you sound like a very nice chicken mama too and I guess I really just wanted to say Hi and get to know you!!!
All the best!!!
