    Granny's gone and done it again

    Yes, she was culled 8 or 9 years ago. I really liked her. She didn't take any crap off of the other hens and was just fun to watch, especially when she put the young roosters in their place. As for the shoulder, me too and thank you. I think the surgery is doing well it's the inflammation...

    Curved keel on 25 w.o. pullet

    Mine never showed symptoms of Marek's (with the exception of the ones who developed ocular Marek's) symptoms until they went into the 'wasting' stage or they developed obvious tumors. I did have one lone 9 week old pullet that developed classical scissor legs but she was the only one. The rest...

    Yeah, it can settle in the crop or maybe more easily explained is that it can cause crop problems. Impactions and the like. It's more like, what 'can't' Marek's cause because the list is just so blasted long. Shoulder suxs. When I use it like while we are working on wood, if I pick up a 30...

    Curved keel on 25 w.o. pullet

    Sorry about the delay and thank you for the Tag, @wyorprock. I've read over the necropsy report and agree with you and what has been posted. The one thing I've found dealing with Marek's in my flock early on is that if you have Marek's you can expect the birds to be susceptible to just about...

    I had a speckled Sussex hen. Sweet girl and pretty. I lost her to Marek's. It got her crop and I couldn't keep it from developing impactions. Couldn't keep ahead of it and it finally killed her. Well, I survived PT. Therapist told me what I already know. Shoulder is still inflamed so he went...

    I start back PT this afternoon. Not looking forward to it. There is so much pain in the world right now, and in the country. I keep remembering the saying "Life is Fragile, Handle it with Prayer" and thinking how well it applies. Stay safe everyone.

    Aren't we nurses bad though? Like one doctor visit, he asked me why I hadn't come in sooner due to my back pain and I replied that well, he knew how we nurses are. He said, yeah, I know, you try every treatment you can think of, get meds from your nurse friends and when they don't work, you...

    With the coyote population we have here our dogs are always howling....usually in the middle of the night when you are trying to sleep. @BigBlueHen53 do you have one of those pick up stick grabbers? I have a couple of them. Just got one that is extra long so I can snare things on the top shelf...

    Our Buck has two huge lipomas on his right side. They have been there since he was about 4. These are flat and cover most of his rib cage. Our vet checks them every time we go in and told us to get in touch with them should they ever change. So far they haven't. His sissy has one on her neck and...

    I haven't had PT for over a week now. Saw my surgeons NP last Tuesday and told him I was having increased pain that seemed to be getting worse after weight strengthening PT. Checked my shoulder and said I had Bursitis in it. Since I can't take oral NSAIDS he offered to inject it for me and I...

    Morning all. Hope everyone had a good weekend. It was nice here. Warm temps, mostly sunny. Wish I could can the late summer weather and open it up in the middle of January when it's 10 below zero and the wind chill feels like -40. @BigBlueHen53, girl, don't fall! Just remember. When body hits...

    Well we don't chew them up near as bad1ly as he does. I have too much bridge work to do as good a job of it as he does, LOL.

    Our Rocki was 42.8 pounds yesterday. She actually lost a couple of pounds but is one solid girl. Not a lot of fat on her, just muscle. We took them out for a walk this afternoon. Sunny and 68 at the time. Ben and Diesel are good walkers. I trained Diesel to walk at a heel and he never pulls...

    We have breakaway collars on all of our dogs. If they get the collar tangled up in something and pull hard enough the collar will simply snap apart. The cattle dogs were and still are horrible about getting ahold of one another's collars and ripping them off that way. I don't know how many...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    The slip collars we use are collar and lead in one. The leash part is about 4 foot long so the dog really can't buck and fight against you because if they do the slip collar just tightens up. We used to use the prong collars which are very effective against pulling but we read somewhere that...

    Just one of those little bumps in the road that you encounter as you get older. Life is full of surprises.

    DH has been taking the Cattle Dogs into the vets and they have a great history of playing him 100% so I went with him today to take Rocki in for her rabies shot and check up. We walk them with the padded tactical harnesses here at home but I told him he needed to start taking a slip collar with...

    @Granny Hatchet, you can read all the self help and explanations about catheters but nothing beats experience....which is what you are accumulating working with Tom's. Good job! And no problem. I just pointed you in the right direction and you figured it out.
