Just found one of my lav orps. After checking her I found some manure on some of her feathers. Then noticed an area that was swollen and red near the vent. I am going to start her on anti biotics in the morning. Is there anything else I can do to save her? I really don't want to lose her.
My dogs are chihuahuas. I had them fixed when they were young. One, the oldest, was very hormonal and kept trying to breed my cat who was also fixed at a young age. Poor thing didn't have a clue what he was doing. After that the decision was pretty easy. And the other boy was a rescue and...
