    Today Jen gained one tenth of a pound to 4.3 lbs.. Appetite is good but not all there yet. She eats a lot of certain stuff but she's very finicky. (She used to eat anything and everything). Poop is healthy, crop is healthy, comb is bright. She's active but still weak. We have her inside from...

    Hi peeps, Jen's doing great; perky, healthy looking and growing stronger. She enjoyed a long dust bath in the sun this afternoon, her first in two weeks. The vet re-started her back on round two of her calcium injections for the lead toxicity. One of the vets wants her to restart the Panacure...

    After 8 straight days at the vet, Jen is home now in a pen at the end of our bed (we have a house full of out of town guests!) Her weight came back to 4.2 (low was 3.9 lbs, former is 4. 9 lbs) We are hand feeding her a bird formula with a syringe, she won't eat it on her own, 20mls, 6 X/day...

    Thanks for the encouragement. It's Sunday afternoon: we just got back from the vet, she seems perky and her comb is nice and flush. She went back up to 4.1 pounds but regurgitated her afternoon feeding. We got the blood test results and she did have high levels of lead. She is at 65 and she...

    Sorry for the delay. We have a full plate here at the moment. Below are some clearer closeups. I circled the pellets, one in the crop, and 5 I could see in the abdominal area? Try to refer to the first photo if I've cropped these too close. There is good news and bad news. Good news: Her...

    Just got a call from the vet tech: Jen's PVC level rose again to 19% up from 14%. Behavior is same, crop is same, but if it's metal toxicity the medication she was put on would start to alleviate these symptoms in a couple of days from now.

    Thanks for asking. We visited her at the vet yesterday. Her comb looks slightly pinker but she isn't eating a lot and her crop won't move, although it may have felt a weeee bit smaller than the night before. The vet advised me against massaging it for fear of rupturing something--don't know...

    UPDATE: Jen didn't get much better and I became more concerned with her crop, which had been looking persistently too full since I first noticed her illness. After some help and great advice from @casportpony , I decided to take her back to the vet and an xray revealed 6-8 tiny pellets in her...

    @casportpony I have ml liquid so is that like 1 ml, once a day, which is half of Jen's dose (2X/day)?

    @casportpony Do the other girls get the same dosage of panacur--I realize I have 100ml here -- enough to share with the flock. Thanks in advance... Lisa
