What did you do in the garden today?
Me? Nothing really. My neighbor? Currently vacuuming his lawn apparently……. I mean I don’t know for sure if that’s what he’s doing because the brush is too think to see up there but that sounds like a vacuum and not a lawn mower. -

This is off subject but pages on here sometimes end up in search results so I don’t feel right exposing readers to incorrect information regarding honey. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/transplant/newsfeed-post/unpasteurized-foods-and-raw-honey/ So far in my research there is a low risk of... -

Unfortunately that’s all too common, there aren’t a lot of avian vets and even fewer who are experienced in waterfowl. Bird flu doesn’t cause emaciation, it kills more rapidly than that so it’s a bit ridiculous to think that’s the issue. A necropsy can be useful for identifying other... -

These ducks…
Give it a few months. The sun is shifting and they can tell fall is coming. My pekins had seasonal paranoia around fall/ winter, thoughts of Christmas dinner lingering on the mind….. My pekins were also kinda bipolar in general though, one day they would like me, the next I was a filthy peasant... -

If you wanted to have a civil debate about the safety and efficacy of natural remedies I’d be more than willing but implying that I’m a drunk, calling me a “stooge,” and openly insulting the people of Australia multiple times tells me that that just isn’t possible. Lmao -

I have no chickens….I could maybe try to dress one of the geese up as a chicken. I don’t think the quail would tolerate it and the ducks might think it’s a disguise to rob a bank or something.- Goosebaby

That’s all too common unfortunatly. You might consider tube feeding her, you’ll need a 60ml catheter tip syringe and a lamb feeding tube or the closest thing that can be used as an equivalent. If you’re up for it I can give directions. It’s daunting the first few times but it’s simpler than it... -

The active anti-fungal/anti-bacterial element in garlic is allicin. For allicin to be effective in permeating tissue to eradicate a fungal infection from the body it would to be at such high concentrations that it causes liver failure in animals and humans.

Roxby took several weeks and he had repeated bouts of it. Why is because I had a lot of trouble narrowing down what was wrong with him and not realizing he had a complex disease. I would treat him for one thing not realizing that he had multiple infections at once, giardia, clostridium, and... -

You can try mixing her feed in water to make a soupy mash, that can help get them used to eating again. “fish” antibiotics and pigeon antibiotics are available in a few places online, some I keep around are Tylosin for various digestive and respiratory infections, SMZ TMP for coccidia and... -

A few years ago my gander Roxby had giardia and clostridium that caused him to stop eating, he lost a lot of weight and lost the ability to stand, one of the things I started giving him was 1 inch sized bits of banana that I moistened and shoved down his throat. I was also tube feeding him which...
