OH my... I LOVE IT
Awesome picture! Love it.
Aww. what a trooper. He'll get better!Thought I'd give an update to Skye. It's long overdue - but I've just been too busy to sit down it seems like!
Skye continues to heal. But not as fast as I would like. Granted I didn't expect this to be gone in one week - but it's really gone on for a while now and I'm was still working on one side of his foot while the other side got bigger as the staph just moved over there. So I broke down a few days ago and starting using penicillin. Given that he has such good blood flow to his foot - I've been injecting it right into his foot for maximum effectiveness. I've done that 3 times, and now I will just use his breast or thigh muscle. But I do want to note - the tea tree oil is working everywhere that it can reach - and if I kept at it - it would work all the way. But I really am to the point that i want to get him to 100% so that he can rejoin the flock soon. He's been in the house for over 2 months now.
I cut out a large staph plug the day before yesterday but there was still some left. Since this was a new area, I was working slowly and only getting little bits at a time. I started where it was close to the top and had to be slow because of his tendon in there. I didn't want to cut it. Then I was so far down that I realized that I was almost to the bottom of his foot, so I cut a hole on the bottom and worked on that. Finally my husband came in and said are you going to give that poor bird a rest?? You've been at for an hour and half! OMG!! I didn't realize that much time had passed. And here's Skye just laying down wrapped in his blanket, quiet as can be! He actually goes to sleep sometimes.
I only work on him every other day now to give him time in between. Of course he gets a nice scrambled egg treat after ever procedure. I think he lays still so that he can have eggs.
I'll try to get some pictures again tonight. But he may wait until morning - he woke me up at 3, 5, and 6 - crowing away....ugh. I hope he gets better soon!
Wow ! you really have stayed right in there. My hat is off to your diligence.Thought I'd give an update to Skye. It's long overdue - but I've just been too busy to sit down it seems like!
