    Prolapse - possible injury too (GRAPHIC)

    Manuka honey, so happy to read you are using this! Using Manuka honey, in general, could fill volumes. It's another mainstay in my medicine cabinet. Plus, I use it for myself every day. :D

    Prolapse - possible injury too (GRAPHIC)

    What an ordeal for you and your hen! Great thread with great advice and all the things you've done to help your hen. All the straining and overactive system rather caused her to have hemorrhoids (the dark red in the first pics...). I'm just going to add an ointment type here that I reach for...

    9 year old asttalorpe hen.... respiratory or circulatory/pulminary?

    Awww, so very sorry to hear this! Nine is a very impressive age! I recently lost my Buff Orpington, Willow, who was 9yrs old. Just old age for her. I'm sorry, I do not know how to advise you, just dropping by to give you and your sweet hens morale support. ❤️ @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock...

Hopefully others will chime in to confirm or...

    Dog attack injury

    Oh No, how traumatizing. And I'm coming to this emergency late but in a state of alarm and urgency to answer, so have not read all the other posts. Bite wounds should NOT be closed up! Sealing the wounds sets the injury up for abscesses, you're closing in a possible infection! The bacteria...

    They are warming up in the powder room sink on heating pad and covered, where they will stay til they start to move around and then graduate to another habitat. Ren will now also wear a muzzle! 3 is a lot to rehab at once!

    Let Ren back out while I searched further and sure enough, eventually found her sitting with the third. No nest to be found, but it's pitch black, will search again tomorrow. So, my rehab season has started! Only one is obviously bitten.

    (Cont'd) It's started again. Ren came inside with one in her mouth, I found the 2nd stone cold. Searched and searched holding babies against my chest to warm them, flashlight in hand.

    It's in the wee hours - not unusual for me since COVID flipped my night and day and I've given up trying to fix it all. Let the dogs out not long ago, my greyhound, Dakota, already wears a muzzle from last year's unbelievable trauma killing bunnies, with the help of my Rough collie, Ren, who...

    Yes, she was a very special peep indeed! I think about how things happen in life and I do believe there is not much to chance, rather by some grand design. All the planets aligned that day to get Claire to love and safety. Thank you for sharing in Claire's life.
