Cashmere and Caramel seem to notice that Corduroy isn't there, but Caramel has been doing well to eat today, and not a smell of pee/poo on him. We'll keep an eye on how things progress, but Caramel was already double the size of Corduroy, and definitely eating and drinking on his own.

A very sad update on our baby bunny, Corduroy. It's been about 36 hours since my last reply :'( At tonight's evening weight check, I decided to give a quick rinse of his tummy (lots of pee on the fur) and he seemed very weak and thin as I started. I snuggled him up in a towel, and tried to...

We did force nurse with them for the first week, she was not at all compliant with the process! It was quite a process, and it took 2 to hold her/pet her head and a third to hold/catch flying kits when she would thrash about - in the end I decided that we were stressing her out more than...

I will see how she does with them today. We aren't sure that she actually has nursed them much. When they have tried while we are awake (since birth), she would jump away :/ Last night I boarded her off from them, just to keep them safe while we weren't around to monitor, and she seems to be...

Our Doe's kits are 3.5 weeks old and we are watching them fairly closely. She (Cashmere) hasn't taken to mothering well, and we have battled poopy bums, clogged scent glands and losing weight - that was after trying to encourage her to nurse them (she hadn't as of day 2 of their lives). There...

Thank you! I believe she was shown as a pullet, so probably a Spring 2016 hatch. It has been rainy here (we need it, not complaining) and she was out in the mud at the afternoon check yesterday, so we figured out a way to bring her in the house so she wouldn't wind up in a puddle or worse...

Our Bantam Speckled D'Uccle (Sprinkle) is limping. I don't see any signs of bumblefoot (the little pad at the center of her feet is squashy, not overgrown at all) but she is not bearing weight on her right leg at all. I tried to feel for a slipped tendon, and looked for any signs of an...

Yes, I was caught quite off guard when she said that, and I asked her 3 different times - then she put me on hold to confirm with the vet. I've had hens survive and thrive after "less than stellar" surgical conditions here on the farm, so a simple blood draw from a docile bird should not...

We mixed it in the water for the first dose, but the little qt waterer is so small it froze. After that, since they have been eating well, we are sprinkling it on the food. We are dosing at a rate of 1/8 teaspoon daily per bird. Hubby is not a fan of getting the necropsy - $40 would go a ways...

That's what I am thinking. She asked if any other birds were showing similar symptoms, and I mentioned Poufy. That's when she said I needed to bring them both in. I just really don't understand how the simple process of testing a bird will require euthanasia. Seems foolish. If the test is...

We had a hen (Nibbles) die last night after about a week of treatment with Duramycin. She presented with foamy eyes about a week and a half ago, and after researching we decided to treat her "in case" and her eyes cleared of foam after treatment began, and besides off and on not opening her...
