    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    what a roller coaster this has been. Dr. Z. called to say that Precious looked good and she could go home tomorrow and then she called me five minutes later and said "I'm so sorry, I know I just called with good news but I'm afraid I have bad news now. We went to give her her nightly treatment...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    Talked with Dr. Zyra this morning and she said Precious is coming along beautifully! She said the eye looked much better and she wanted to keep her one more day, so I guess I'll be bringing my girl home tomorrow!

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    I do feel lucky, she saved the life of one of my blue cochins a couple of months ago. I had to really search for a vet that would treat chickens, I couldn't find anyone near me which is odd because I live in a very rural farming area! Dr. Z. is about an hour away but I gladly make the drive...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    Miss Precious' eye didn't look any better except I did what Dawg53 suggested and held a warm compress on it and an icky thing that looked like a scab came off so that had to be good but the eye still didn't look good. I put the ointment on and called the vet as soon as I could. I love this vet...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    here is the latest picture. I think it looks better but maybe not better but different? I've been washing with saline 3 X daily and applying the terramycin. The eye looks more open but it looks like there's something over the eye. I don't know if it's something that should come out, like pus or...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    Quote: Yes, it does look pretty scary! I have Precious in a carrier in the furnace room and go and try to get water or food into her every couple of hours. She's been drinking water from a teaspoon and doing pretty good. She drinks an entire teaspoon full. I have some baby parrot formula that...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    got home and the eye was totally closed with a drop of dark yellow gooey looking stuff on the lid and it's more swollen. I gently washed the eye with plain warm water on a cotton ball, dried it with a cotton ball, and liberally applied Neosporin. I'm calling the vet but does anyone have any...

    sick silver penciled cochin UPDATE:Precious has died

    Miss Lydia has been an ENORMOUS source of information and support and I so appreciate the time she has taken to answer each and every one of my PM's. But I was wondering if anyone had any further information on foods to tempt Miss Precious. I think she may be having a reoccurance of wry neck...
