    Dog bite

    If they want to live, I won’t quit on them. They are tough but as with all critters, if you have livestock, you will also have dead stock

    Dog bite

    Since she isn’t a huge fan of being handled, I’m trying to keep the manhandling to a minimum and only when treating the wound. If she looks skimpy again I will dose her directly with NutriDrench.

    Dog bite

    Made it to day two- she’s drinking NutriDrench in her 2nd 8 oz bowl of water today and eating crumble, egg and water soaked feed. Wound is ugly at this stage but aside from the trauma and bruising, the tissue is looking good. Continuing antibiotic ointment and vetricyn 2x a day before ointment...

    Dog bite

    She’s in a dog crate, she just was wrapped in a towel on the couch after I bathed her but then I had to clean the sink and my little man hung out with her on the couch while she got dry. She is very asocial as far as other birds goes. She does lay but has always either been infrequent or is the...

    Dog bite

    I don’t have any real great pictures as she doesn’t like to extend her neck out. I have been keeping the ointment on it to keep her back skin from sticking to the exposed neck muscle tissue. She has had a few sips of NutriDrench water through the day. Still no poop. Coming up on the 24 hour mark...

    Dog bite

    Good morning fellow fowl keepers! My kelpie grabbed one of my hens yesterday like the nose on one of the steers and she’s pretty roughed up (degloved back of neck and puncture on left chest in front of wing) so yesterday afternoon she came inside to the hospital aka kitchen/living room. Washed...

    Turkey with hock injury

    She comes out and wanders the yard and eats and does bird things without any visible discomfort, though it’s hard to tell because she has a distinct wobbly gait. She has gotten a few epsom salt baths in a high sided tote to just above the hocks over the past couple of days. I have made her...

    Turkey with hock injury

    I will take some this afternoon when I get home from work. I haven’t given any as I don’t know what I am fighting against. The hocks are swollen and the swelling is malleable. I don’t have anyone in my area who is bird savvy and no vets who are bird specialists, so when a 50+ year poultry keeper...

    Turkey with hock injury

    Hey everyone, I’m having a hard time deciding what to do for treatment on my 2 yr old bronze turkey hen. She has had bumblefoot alternating between feet off and on since she was just shy of a year. She had a horse step on her toe and amputated it by force, and she then compensated on the other...
