Thanks so much, @Honey Maid . We still haven't decided on that yet. We're thinking of going back to some very long straw. Just haven't been able to make a decision yet since it's not nesting time.
I don't think we've communicated before, so welcome to BYC!!!
No, I don't think so, but I think I need to know what you mean by "near." PA is a big mining state, but I don't think there's any mining at all within at least a range of several miles from us.
Thank you so much, dear Amiga. Batteries of all types have come to my mind, but we always securely dispose of our batteries of any kinds. Metals, paints, I just couldn't think of anything. Scott is very good about cleanup after projects and usually does them in the workshop anyway, and it's...
Not sure if anyone is still subscribed to this thread, but I got another interim necropsy report back today, and I found it very alarming. I do already have a call into the pathologist and have for hours, but I'm not sure I'll hear back from her today.
The report said her liver was slightly...
I'm not sure if ducks will do that like dogs and cats will. I can't remember every reading anything about it one way or another. Once I get the final word, I'll come back to post what I find out. I'm going to ask the vet if she has any idea what would make a duck that has food, water and grit...
It's these exact ones--> http://smile.amazon.com/Precision-Pet-Excelsior-Nesting-13-Inch/dp/B00CAVMIK2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 .
I'm going to warn others on here and also update my Amazon review. I'm not going to knock the product, just warn others of the risk. When I was researching...
Yes, yesterday afternoon I got what's still considered an interim report back from the facility. The material matched the nesting pad sample we took in. I missed the doctor's call because I was on a conference call, but I'm thinking it's considered interim because a couple of the toxicology...
Thanks so much, Amiga, and all. I'm losing my mind over this. The state vet says she can't let us come look at the sample in person. I thought that might tell us more than the pictures. I called my regular avian vet and asked him if he can have the material shipped to him so we can look at it...
Maybe I made a mistake in putting all the returns in the post. I did that so people who might not want to see them didn't have the pics pop right up in their face when they opened the post, so they'd have to intentionally scroll to see them.
That is just beyond bizarre. They were there when I did the post and now they're gone? Do the moderators remove things like that even though they aren't gross?
I just got back an interim report on our little girl that died on Sunday. Most of the toxicology reports other than the AI test are still pending, The vet at this point thinks the cause of death was fibrous material in her gizzard. They sent me pics because I requested them, and I have no idea...
