AUUUUUUGHHH!!! i looked over there and saw TWO DOGS!!! how?? our neighbor got him pretty good. and dad saw that and drove over there and talked. they said they were going to take them to the ASPCA tomorrow. dad said he would check back in with them. but that's what they said THREE MONTHS AGO. ugh.
She finally has tail feathers!!! And she is much nicer to me and doesn't bite. :idunno
Stilts is also doing ok, she being proud of her graham crackers and yelling at everything. And hey! Look at what was in the box.
I think I forgot to mention that it was Stilts who was injured.
We have cameras around our house and we have a video of them and my dad saved. We have pictures of our chickens and the neighbors permission to shoot them if they get out. Mom has already started the process of printing papers and bringing it over to their house. She says if their insurance...
I think we do. My dad says he wants to shoot them if they get out again. My neighbor just got three bulls and those dogs also attacked their horses. Three neighbors have little dogs too, and their owner has kids over sometimes.
This is not going to end well.
Update: Ash is doing amazing and she is growing tiny tail feathers back! The only problem is that those dogs are still there, and their throwing themselves against the fence and they are only going to get twice as big. Half my family has PTSD but they still won't get rid of the dogs.
Thank you, thank you all. Her hip bone is broken and she has internal injuries. Dad says there is no recovery.
He wants to take her into the backyard and put her down, because the ride to the vet would be too stressful.
I put her butt over the sink and rinse her off and dry her at least twice a day, because she is getting poop all over her butt now. Today she started pooping actual solids (and she did it in the sink😑)I don't know if it was actually soft-shelled or was just soaked in poop and water.
She stopped...
Uhh.. so apparently her vent was blocked by rock solid feathers. i found eggshell fragments and cucumber peel around her vent, and it was completely blocked and pretty messed up. I used water to loosen her feathers and eventually I had pulled away loose feathers and weirdly squishy eggshell and...
Ash has been doing the same for the last few days, occasionally soiling her wound, but then getting rinsed with saline. I haven't checked her very much, because I have been focusing mostly on omlette.
Omlette started eating mushy food and drank so much electrolyte and ate around 16 beetles! I found a broken eggshell by her vent, so I guess she had an egg inside her while the dog was shaking her around, and the egg broke. Today she started pooping solids ( kind of ) and her comb is standing...
Thank you guys sooooo much! The electrolyte helped a lot and she was flopping around the box. Now she is napping in a corner under the heat lamp, but her legs don't work so she can't walk and I heard that can interfere with how her digestive system works.
My mom won't let me take pictures of her until my dad comes home from work.
She doesn't seem to have any trouble breathing, and I haven't felt for air bubbles. I'll do that now. She has a scratch on her back if that's what you mean by puncture wounds. A little bit ago I gave her electrolyte...
If omlette recovers, will she be able to walk again? She will squirm and flop around in the box like she's trying to move around sometimes (Rarely) and she uses her wing to steady herself, but she never really gets anywhere. During the attack I found her lying on the ground all beat up, so she...
I have syringes with no needles that I could give her the electrolyte with if I need to
*Edit* she took around four small drinks, but I guess it's something.
