    Sarah giving up?

    Thank you all for your kind words. You know, I have had many types of animals, pets, livestock, and some that were both. Each and every one of them has taught me something, about my self, about life, about unconditional love, about God. I have been blessed, you are right. She was such a...

    Thank you all for your condolences. I am so glad I found you all and thank you for all your help! I have lost many loved animals and it never get's easier. This is for you Sarah. July 27, 2014 I will see you again one day. God answered prayer in that He took her quickly! Rainbow Bridge...

    I have old timers memory...the first time, 2 months ago, when Sarah stopped eating, and I was getting her to drink by hand...literally by hand, no syringe, her poop was not green at all...just really runny and not the clear water but some white in it also...I had her on towels so I could see...

    I wish I could edit, instead of posting post after post. I have to put the other chickens to bed soon, I can get them in, probably at 6:30pm...with some grumbling and a little extra work...maybe after would be a good time to try this????? Because of the bear attack, they come through not long...

    Oh, forgot, no syringe. I threw away the last one I had, once I did the final worming on the other chickens. Wasn't able to get anything but the Corid last town trip. TSC was out of just about everything. I got the last bag of Corid. Also, since she has been in recuperation for so long, she...

    The thing is, the loose/runnygreen poop started before she stopped eating the chicken feed. I saw her mowing on it, so I know she was eating and I had to replenish it often. The water started when I had to give her the scrambled eggs as she had stopped eating the feed all of a sudden. She...

    Sorry I didn't read everything yet, just wanted to let you know, I have been "encouraging" Sarah to drink, since I last posted. I got about as much as I would've gotten in tube feeding. I kept stirring the water too, so the Corid didn't settle. She actually did drink some on her own also, not as...

    Too late...already doing that I'll try to stop though it's hard right now.....It's a VERY helpless feeling knowing there is one more step, had I just thought, that I could try. and not have the $$$ or access to the equiptment needed. Trust me, I learned another hard lesson at the expense of...

    Kathy, there is nothing here. I am so rural, I am lucky to have a TSC. I looked for tubing but found none. The local vet won't touch chickens. I tried last year to have a fecal float done. They refused. Said they don't work with chickens. No other vets any where near here. I live in a little...

    Oh and just incase you missed it, this all started with an eye infection. No signs of a respiratory infection though. I think she either injured her eye, was pecked, or both....and it got infected. There was no discharge of any kind, no breathing issues and no other birds showing similar signs...

    Sarah giving up?

    Thank you Eggcessive. The thing is, the chickens are not pets, they are livestock. Yes, I know that secondary infections occur during times like this. She isn't showing signs of respiratory distress. I really think it's that she wasn't strong enough to fight another round of the cocci and has...

    A Lonely Desperado!

    Everyone, PLEASE...let's all calm down. Maddie DID get the Corid and the birds are being treated. NONE of us is perfect and we have ALL made mistakes. I can't begin to count all mine, in the many years I've been on this earth. This is a young girl, doing the best she can, and don't you think a...

    Sarah giving up?

    Thanks, both of you. I never would've thought I would get so attached to a chicken but after the past 2 months and daily care, and she's just so appreciative of everything done for her, I did. I think it's this darn cocci and she just didn't have it in her to go through the fight again. She...
