Agree with previous posters, but also check her vent and make sure she's not plugged up with pasty butt. That happened to one of mine before, when I cleaned her vent, she let out the biggest poop on my hand and she perked up pretty quickly after that.

Thank you for all the prayers! Surgery Update: Linus is on heart-lung bypass. The surgeon is currently inspecting the valve to see if there is any way to repair it rather than replace it.

Hi...yes I'm here...Linus and his 2 brothers are my little nephews. I'm sorry I haven't been on this forum much lately, things have been really crazy around here...been busy with a lot of good, bad and ugly, and everything else. Thank you Chixie for keeping people around here updated. Linus...

Thank you! I haven't been on BYC in a while, but I was going to post a prayer request for Linus this morning...I had no idea anyone was posting about him here. Please please please pray for a miracle surgery and recovery for my baby nephew...we are all so worried right now.

I think every dog is different, and getting answers about other dogs might not apply to yours. My dog killed one of my chickens about 3 months ago...or at least I'm pretty sure it was my dog. We've had her about 6 months now, and she's only killed one who flew over the fence. I honestly don't...

I voted at 9:something this morning. I don't know how things are done everywhere else...but we do NOT give info when we vote. (my name was highlighted on a list that I showed up and voted, but did not put any info on the ballot) Voting is anonymous, that's why you're in a little private...

Another thing to consider....is your Silkie broody? I have a little Silkie hen who's a year and a half old and she's been broody 4 times! She started young...raised her first batch of chicks at about 7 months old I think. All my little Silkie thinks about is raising babies...and she's a...

Ready for another update? OK, here it is...the boys are 2.5 weeks old and there's really good news all around Simon: He's doing well, and growing big...a whopping 5 pounds! His eating and sleep apnea issues are getting better and he should be coming home very soon. He'll probably have to...

Ready for an update? Sorry it's been so long...time flies... Simon: He's still having some feeding issues. They found out he has reflux pretty bad, that's why he's not as interested in eating. They started treating him for that and he seems to be getting better. I heard he sucked down his...

Sometimes my broody hens throw shavings and hay on their backs while sitting in the nest box. I definitely think they're trying to camouflage themselves. I've heard people say they put ice packs in the nest boxes (or ziplocs with ice in them). When the broody sits, it lowers her body...

Oh, Best Wishes and Prayers to you redhen! I hope all goes well with that. Remember what I said before about Linus...this heart problem had nothing to do with him being a triplet or anything like that. We have a lot of heart problems in our family, so it's probably somewhat genetic. I know...

Quote: It was IVF. Two embryos were implanted, but one split, that's how they ended up with 3. So, Simon and Linus are the 2 identicals from the split egg, and Dexter was the other embryo.

Here are some pics...I was hoping to find an easy way to post these, but no such luck. I uploaded them the only way I know how. Here's Simon shortly after birth: Here's Dexter shortly after birth: And here's Linus shortly after birth: And here's my Sister visiting Linus in the CVICU...

Just got home from the hospital. What day is it? I can't remember... Anyways, everyone is doing pretty good. Simon is doing about the same (which has been good). He had an Occupational Therapist come in and help him with his eating/swallowing, so he's eating better now. They may even take...

Thanks for all the nice comments and prayers...we all appreciate it. babylady4...that was cute about his blanket...I really think I need to go find a Linus blanket now! They have a million baby blankets already, but not sure how much they look like that specific one. And to answer your...

I wasn't able to update you all yesterday, but we had some pretty serious setbacks. Here's the status of each baby: Simon: The strongest and healthiest of them all, he is breathing on his own and eating a little bit on his own. He's not eating enough, so they are tube-feeding some to make...

I think, if you click on this link, you can see the pics even if you don't have Facebook... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000817200455&v=wall#!/album.php?id=100000570122596&aid=37141

I got an update from my sister...all 3 babies are off of oxygen. That is so amazing, I can't believe how great they are doing!!! "T" is feeling much better today, too. She was really pretty miserable yesterday, both before and after the delivery. I'll be going back up to the hospital in a...

Simon and Linus are the Identicals, and Dexter is Fraternal.

Thanks! Yes, "T" is an absolute Rockstar and did an awesome job "baking" those babies. She carried them longer than most trips and everyone is doing well. I sent the pics from my phone to my Facebook, but I'm trying to figure out how to post those same pics on here. I know not everyone has...
