    When to consider euthanasia

    It surprises me how often I am in this position, it's as though the universe has a tendency to give me these animals that have extra needs, knowing I'd go to the ends of the earth for them. The decision to let go has never been easy, it doesn't get easier with each new soul I have to guide over...

    When to consider euthanasia

    I posted a little more info in my last message to thecatumbrella. I have done everything. When I say everything, I really do mean it. I used every resource possible. I don't mean to appear as though I wish to throw any advice that seems helpful for treatment away... All I can say is, you gotta...

    When to consider euthanasia

    Thank you for the perspective. Every time I'm here in this place, where she's had/having an episode and it looks awful on the surface, I have these thoughts. Is this the right thing? Is rehabilitating every time and re-integrating the right thing to do for her? When she is lucid, she acts mostly...

    When to consider euthanasia

    If you are a long time member of this forum you might know me and my flock and the struggles I've faced for a while. A bit of my post history would reveal the whole story, but TL;DR, I spent *thousands* to determine what was causing strange symptoms for specific birds in my flock and learned...

    Is it possible to remove reproductive organs (safely)?

    My hen Onyx struggles mightily every time she needs to lay. She lays one egg a week. For 12 hours before she lays she is in obviously terrible pain. Hunched over, wings on the ground, eyes closed, laboring to breathe, not flocking, barely moving for 12 hours. It really feels quite terrible to...

    Please help me save my bird

    It's too late to send her anywhere. She is in the freezer. While I was at work before Xmas my husband cut her open to confirm or deny aspergillosis. He went straight for the lungs and trachea, saw nothing unusual and put her in the freezer. He didn't take any pictures. I'm sorry. He loved...

    I'm making some that glow green now. I wanted to make purple ones. But the spool doesn't fit. I need to figure out if I can put the filament on a spool that fits.

    Like I don't know. The pathologist isn't telling me I should bring amber in too. I feel really discouraged at the moment. I don't know what to do.

    Amber died this morning. At 6 am she got off the roost poles and sat under them until 9 am, where she sat puffed up with her wings out a bit, and at 10 am she shuddered, threw her head back a little, laid down and died. I don't know what's happening. I emailed Dr. Porter and he said he didn't...
