Hi, I’m back again.
One of my 5 year old birds who I’ve never had a problem with, Maggie, (Porcelain Duccle Bantam) has two almost identical scabs on the top of her head. Not on her comb.
I noticed one scab and figured it must’ve just happened because there’s been a recent power struggle in...
Hey everyone, sorry I disappeared.
It’s taken me a while to process, but I think I’m ready now.
Artemis has passed away, earlier this week.
I tried desperately to get a veterinarian but ended up either being turned down or ghosted by all over 10 of them. I ended up finding one office, but the...
I have been feeding her to my best ability recently.
I graduated yesterday and I’ve just been beyond tired and emotional over the life changes.
Poor Artemis, she’s not getting better. She continues to lose weight, starting to think it’s not worms but organ failure. This might be it for her. She...
Update:
Her face is a bit paler today. She will still talk, just not as much as she used to.
The dewormer got her today, weighed her and applied it orally.
She’s losing weight very fast. Crop still empty. I’ve tempted her with everything I could. I decided I couldn’t just sit and watch as...
Update:
She still talks to me, and still wants to snuggle up in my lap like usual given the opportunity.
But, she still refuses to eat anything. I truly tried my best to make everything as appetizing and easy to eat as possible. Made her scrambled eggs and even pulled out her favorite treats...
I went to check on her this morning. She was puffed up and sitting in the corner.
She looks worse but the meds and new food won’t be here for days. I also will be gone overnight.
She won’t eat anything now, she’ll try but lose interest.
I’ll stop by my local feed shop and see what they have to offer.
What do you use?
I may have to order some online since I’m in a small area.
I have around 11 bantams, the oldest being 9 years old and only these Porcelain Duccles have had health problems over the years. I’m still definitely...
Don’t worry, she only had a teeny bit of cottage cheese and garlic powder.
She usually eats a layer crumble and 6-grain scratch I get at my local feed store. She also gets veggie scraps and the ability to free range and eat whatever she pleases.
