Wow, you are really hitting it with everythig! Maybe you need an antibiotic prescribed. Even if you were vaccinated as a child (as we all were back in the day!) your old(er) body kind of loses it's immunity ability. A year ago, my husband and I had the same symptoms and we coughed so hard we...
Sounds like whooping cough - pertussis. I just read that a cool mist humidifier helps loosen mucus. Also, the herb Thyme can help with lung spasms and may reduce lung damage. It can be taken as a tincture or tea and doesn't interact with antibiotics as some other herbs do. I sure hope you...
I'm so sorry Seminolewind, what a time you have been having! Even though it's a serious diagnosis, at least they know what you have and how to treat it. And I'm glad you are finaly feeling better and your spirits are good.
:hugs
It's so hard when they get old. I hope the 2 of them can keep each other going.
The day before Thanksgiving, I lost my 8 year old rooster, Augie. He was my absolute favorite rooster, the only one in a long line of roosters who actually acted like he liked me! He would always greet me...
I have a friend with a blind cat caused by a Taurine deficiency. Taurine is a supplement and should be in the list of ingredients in the cat food. It might be a question for the vet.
My sister also has a blind cat. She rescued him after she found him collapsed up against her front door when...
So glad you are getting some answers finally and that with medication, there is hope! Such a dear, sweet cat and loyal companion to Tom. You are wonderful people to do everything you can for him.
I'm so sorry to hear that Finn is having eye problems. I've followed his story from the beginning and his conversion of the "cat-hater" was so cute. My cat often has swollen red eyes in summer, the vet says due to allergies. So far nothing has really helped him, internally or externally. We...
Hot as you can stand compresses or just run hot water over the itchy areas for a few minutes. Keep doing it every time the itch starts. It really works! And works on poison ivy or bug bites.
Great list of perennials, Mary.
Seminolewind, have you checked your chickens for bird mites/lice? A problem can develop all of a sudden. It's a bad bug year, at least here in the northeast. I found out that the mites the chickens catch from wild birds can get on people too. I always thought...
There's something about the male personality. They are just characters. I've noticed that I can recognize all my chickens by the noises they make. They all sound unique. The black rooster was incredibly beautiful. He was a mix but I think mostly Wyandotte. Big and chunky with silver and...
One of my roosters that I hatched out in my incubator about 4 years ago attacked me a few nights ago. :( He has always been "difficult" and actually knocked out the eye of my nice mellow rooster. So he has been living in a bachelor pen the last year. He has always hated my husband and...
You must be so proud - and relieved - that Michael has accomplished such a big feat! I hope he continues to improve his health and life. He's an inspiration!
