hello! another m*sshole to add to the collection.

The yogurt definitely helped with her thin eggs.

We didn't end up eating the eggs just to be safe. We finally figured out after bringing her to the vet was that she has dislocated her tendon in her knee. It ended up getting infected with salmonella and tylan cleared it right up. We couldn't find tylan anywhere and had to get it from the vet. I...

This problem has turned into another problem entirely! I finally found some chicken antibiotics and she got a bad fever and after a few days of treatment it broke and the color came back to her face and shes been eating like a cow. Her poo is back to normal and shes speaking up more. Except now...
