Well guys. I really love and appreciate the support on my Karen’s journey. Yesterday she woke up in worse shape. Why tail was added to her list of issues and she just seemed to go down hill. So I put my big girl panties on and went to put her down :(. I was going to use the broom stick method...

I put her in the sling for a little while today and propped her up so she could look out the window lol. She sat there for about an hour before saying forget this lol. I’m going to do it again after her bum bath lol

It’s a livestock vet. We don’t really have any avian/exotic vets here. We have normal vets, emergency vets if you go into town about 45 minutes away and livestock vets. Lol. She’s eaten and drank about 3 times on her own today ( that I witnessed. Could be more ) without getting drenched. I...

ok so we went to the vet today, they wouldnt let anyone in, they were retrieving the animals from the cars. I told the nurse everything from her limping a week ago all the way to her not eating or drinking then starting to eat and drink a little here and there but still not really enough...

I’m still concerned about her leg. I don’t think it’s a sprain at this point. She doesn’t really move either leg right now or stand at all still, but her right leg if I move it gives some resistance and she puts it back where it was but her left leg is completely limp. So honestly at this...

Guys.... I drenched her again yesterday and then propped her next to her water and she started drinking on her own. Just a little bit. But it’s better than nothing. I tried to get her to eat but she‘d only eat a bite or two. Same thing all day today. Shed drink off and on but not eat. So I...

There’s one in town but they may not be able to since it’s where they process food and we don’t know if she’s sick or what’s causing this exactly. The neighbor on the other side of the trees has chickens, (their rooster and my rooster spend about an hour at 7 pm on the dot every night crowing...

That’s exactly why I’m so concerned. If she was just tired and not moving a lot but was still eating or at least drinking and pooing. Then I wouldn’t be as worried. :/

We’ve tried syringe feeding and squirting tiny drops of water I. Her mouth. She doesn’t really respond and it just drips out. Her crop feels empty, and yes while she’s been inside she’s gotten grit as well as had access to oyster if she wanted it. I tried drench yesterday because I was...

So she’s still with us...I honestly don’t know for how long. Honestly if I knew how to put her to sleep I would because she’s starving to death. She won’t eat or drink no matter what, she hasn’t pooed at all the past two days, she twitches sometimes but not always. And her leg that was hurt...

So update. She started getting a lot better. Started standing, kept eating and drinking just fine. She would go outside with me when I went to the garden and shed limp around and eat at the grass, what bugs walked in her path and was generally happy. Well yesterday she didn’t want to eat at...

We tried it.... she hated it. Spent most of the time flapping and squawking to get out. :/ I only made her sit in it a minute though because I didn’t want to stress her too much. However she did seem to like the bath.

I will find some baby aspirin and get some in her water. Im actually loving this idea. I could actually set this up so she could use it for a large portion of the day and I could take her out for a bit every now and then just so she gets into different positions and doesn’t start hurting....I...

I will find some baby aspirin and get some On some meal worms for her. Should I leave her messy bum be for now? Or should I try to clean her up? I don’t want to stress her out and the only way I can think of to clean her up would be like I would on chicks with pasty butt. Soak her bum in some...

Oh I do hope so!! Not that I want her hurting but I’d rather a sprain than another issue. :/. Can they have anything for pain? I know dogs can have aspirin, but I also know birds are a whole other ball game.

My favorite hen came out of the coop limping yesterday and by the time I got back with a dog crate to bring her inside for a rest period she was laying in the corner of the coop and not really wanting to move much. Anyways I brought her inside and she ate tons of food and water and has been...
