This poor guy can not catch a freakin break!! For the first time in six years the neighbors dog, this happy **** who broke through his electric fence, attacked Floyd and rippped all his feathers from his back! Down to the skin!
Today my husband looks out and sees a FOX tearing at him...
This is April 23rd. I don't think he'll walk like he use to but he is walking a bit better everyday.
His neck looks shorter than before the attack - maybe is just me lol
Floyd is fantastic!! He is out with his girls. we rehomed Jr to a flock of 16 hens so he will be very happy!!
Floyd does walk a little stiff - but he is so happy Funny enough last night was his first night back in his coop - when it got dark he walked up to the house lol Thank you for all...
With all my uncertainly and doubt I got sommuch support here - you have held my hand through the steps needed. We honestly thought we should have culled him after his attack. But just weeks later. LOOK WHO STOOD TODAY!!!! Not the best photos. He was sitting in his sling. He is wobbly and...
Well, he moves those feet but refuses to put them under himself.
On a daily I adjust his sling so his feet are barely touching the ground, to his feet are at the right height if he would just put them under his body
Yesterday I put his sling in a dog crate outside / he liked it. The girls...
He was vaccinated. He can wiggle and grip. He pushes his legs when I take the 'floor' away. I do pick him up often from his sling and hold his body so he has to move and he uses his wings to balance.
Funny you mention a wheelchair, my husband said something about that last night. He asked me...
They can too ch the floor - he sticks them straight out in front of himself. Then he freaks out and wiggles and plops out
We bring him outside and put him in the grass. Hoping he will peck around him. He doesn't he will most be by using his wing to turn his himself.
I've googled but how...
So. Mr Floyd seems to only eat if I spoon feed him. Not sure if he's having an issue eating or he's just being cheeky waiting for me to feed him.
I try to push his feet so he has to push back to help with his muscles. I'm guessing that sitting all day is going to weeken his legs.
He still...
Thank you! We put the other roo is the pen and brought Floyd outside to hang with the girls. He happily made his noises and they hung out with him. One gently pecked at his comb scabs. He is moving himself with his one foot and wings.
We also built him a second sling frame. Sturdier and more...
So based on what you know I'm probably doing everything for him. I worry that I'm doing less or something not correct
Also, is it okay to leave him in his sling all day? I'm home with him and if I'm not I put him in his basket so he'll be safe.
Hello, so Floyd is staring to eat on his own. Beak is healed and his comb and waddles are slowly getting a nice red color. He seems to maybe be seeing out of both eyes, he doesn't cock his head to one side as often
I made a sling and sit him in for a good part of the day. He seems to push or...
