Thanks, I feel the same way. I'm bawling my eyes out though. She was so special. But I couldn't let her suffer. And I know I would have done the best I could, but was it in her best interest? I don't think so. Lots of tears...
:hit:hitShe has gone on over the rainbow bridge. It was for the best. I miss her tremendous. Ive got to cry and mourn now. Thank you all. You are an amazing group. We will be forever grateful:hit:hit
Honest truth here...I work a lot. Most days I'm gone 12-13 hours. Its back to work tomorrow. Ive been with her 3 days now...checking every hour or 2 on her. Warm baths 2xday, spraying everytime I can think of...syringing electrolytes and vitamins....she seems ok and she's trying really hard...
Here is the pic from after the warm bath. There are 3 blobs in this pic. The one on the bottom was feces..i cut that off. The one on the top is the injured vent. The one in the middle is flesh. I am not sure what it is so I dodnt cut it off. When I dried her...a.spot between the top and middle...
I am going to soak her again this am and take a look. I will take some pics and post them for advise. I don't want her to suffer...she is trying her best though. She heard the others calling and it perks her up.
The closest vet open today is about 2 hours from me.
She made it through the night. Drinking on her own. Trying to eat some scratch and yogurt and scrambled eggs. Gave her a warm water soak. It seems the poo is just kinda oozing out of her. My poor little birb! She tries to stand but the injured leg is too painful.
I lost my buff Orpington....tracked the cat through the woods for half a mile before I found her. I pray she didnt suffer. The 2 that survived unscathed are nervous and calling for the other girls...
Scrambled eggs and yogurt coming up!
Please. Help. My bird was attacked in the butt by a bobcat. Injuries on leg as well. She's a year old with cross beak so eating is difficult. Taking fluid by syringe. I'm spraying vetericyn plus 3 x day. What else can I do.
