    Emergency! Need help with sick hen and her daughter

    Hi, thank you for the response. I live in Fremont, California. Their mouths and throats appear clear and no sign of lesions or anything. Their crops have been emptying like normal over the past few days and this morning.

    Is Vetrx harmful to tortoises and dogs?

    Thanks for the poignant "response." I do not believe I have ever used "Vick's vapor rub" but I do appreciate the inquiry. I also do not remember stating in the post anything about using Vetrx as a means of supplemental nutrition for my poultry. We have a four year old RIR who contracted a...

    Is Vetrx harmful to tortoises and dogs?

    Slipped Tendon in Baby Chicks

    Slipped Tendon in Baby Chicks

    The legs were never off to the sides of the body and both chicks could align their legs under their bodies. They could only sit on their hocks and their tendons were indeed out of place. I should have described their symptoms better. In the photo the leg is not so much twisted or out of place as...
