    Rooster with Testicular Tumor

    Thank you for your reply. No, he didn’t say but soon we will find out as he will repeat the X-ray in about 1 month. Time will tell. I guess I’ll find out at that time.

    Heavy Metal Poisoning

    Well after 7 chelation therapies his balance has been restored. The veterinarian called me to give me the results of his blood drawn on Tuesday but I missed his call. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’m anxious to see what was found. Since he improved with chelation therapy it implies indeed...

    Heavy Metal Poisoning

    Hi everyone. Have a 3y/o rooster that suddenly lost his balance and walks like he is drunk. Took him to an avian specialist yesterday, took X-rays and found 2 densities consistent with metals.

    Aggressive Rooster? Can he be tamed?

    I had one that behaved like that and I won him over with love and kindness. Hug him every day, caress and talk to him. Feed him with your hand. He will come around.

    Never-ending Battle with Low-grade Bumblefoot

    Hi. You’re doing an excellent job! Her foot looks good!! It’s not black. On 2-22-21 my rooster underwent bumble foot surgery under general anesthesia and his foot appears back but flat. He’s probably healing. Yours looks much better.

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Oh I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Maybe she needs fluid drained and pain medication (Meloxicam) and antibiotics? Don’t give up! Let them do labs on her. My baby’s sister has a similar problem. She’s had 4 bouts of horrible crop stasis due to egg yolk sterile peritonitis. Last Wednesday...

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Thank you for your support. I miss her so much. We had such a strong bond and connection. Keep second guessing and beating myself up. Do you think she was suffering? Many times I would take her outside and she would pick at the grass while laying on her tummy. Was it too painful for her to stand?

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Thank you for your support. I’ve lost both of my parents and for some reason this loss is just as painful. I guess I underestimated how sick my baby was. Do you believe she was suffering?

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Thank you for your support. Do you believe I should have given her a longer course of antibiotics prior to surgery? Like 2-3 weeks? Also she was anemic, her hematocrit 10 days prior to surgery was 21%. I asked the vet if she felt comfortable operating on her with low of hematocrit and she said...
