Starting beginning of next year. I should have some goslings. I'm right outside of Bennington VT in Upstate NY.
If you are looking for juveniles I won't do DNA sexing till later in the year if I have any grow outs. Feel free to reach out if you are interested. Most places won't do sexing...
Yeah my wife called while this was going on cause I had work, and she told me what the vet said. I told her to just tell her we'd do the cytology here. I've got my stuff coming to do some basic blood test and look to save some time.
Yeah I have a wellness check for next week with one of the...
It's okay.
Wife took her in she was basically not being able to breath from being so emaciated.
The vet legit walked in said ops she's dying etc. Then started on a spiel about how she wanted my wife to send her off to a clinic for a traditional necropsy cause bird flu etc. My wife calls me...
Got her into the vet this morning.. The vet doesn't want to do anything to help her cause she's so emaciated. Won't even give me a catheter or anything to try at the house.
It's not looking so hot though. Will see when I get her home if I can do gavage myself with what tubing I have and get...
I was watching some of the old school ones. No one locally has a catheter without a script, so I went ahead and ordered a bunch of stuff.
The meloxicam she's on seems to be helping with her nausea. I thought maybe the meds were making her not hungry, but in fact they were preventing her from...
I found an actual avian vet near me to run some diagnostics and they have an inhouse lab.
Every single one went to an avian conference besides this clinic this week and last. All that to say going to get some blood work + cultures done since the antibiotics + stuff won't come till friday. I...
Yeah she did eat a bit, but mostly just drinking a bunch and eating some cucumbers in her regular water. I got some game food (30%) and will get the broadspectrum anti just as a preventative. Would you pull the vitamins from the water as well when giving this stuff?
Do you know how long it took your guy to get back to eating?
She was exciting eating earlier and I think overly engorged herself and threw up a bit. Otherwise alert.
Yeah her stools are basically a little green loose. Not neon green but a dark green. I assume from the little bit of peas she is eating.
I'm wondering now though she was eating a load of dirt, and if she was already stressed and maybe the parasites/bacteria took off. Is there anything over the...
Yeah I've got her w/ nutri drench + b complex at the moment. She's not really interested in much food. I have the kalmbach being delivered today, and I swear if she's just a picky eater Imma have to baby her for awhile.
I've got to pick my truck up from the shop today so can grab some from the...
So the one on the left has a bunch of bloom on it, but the one on the right is the BCM's back laying. Should get a bit darker but first egg after nearly a month long break :)
That is a nice little dayyy trip LOL. I think last trip up there was 11 hours with three stops.
Nah local to get stuff done at the house. I need to cut down a bunch of birches, and get stuff prepped before winter. To do my expansion for the marans/geese.
(I have a sick goose inside right...
Yeah it's starting to heat up. This weekend I have to separate cause if not it's to the tipping point.
Second week of september I have vacation so plan is to prep the whole yard and finish the 1 acre fencing. (Going to be a busy busy week), and maybe if it's not raining get a shed delivered.
Nice - I'm hoping the few broodies I have will start laying again as I'm pulling everything.
The big problem is my little splash guy is trying to be tough man and mess w/ the broodies. And they are not having it. So I'm worried the stress of him messing will delay their laying.
