:hugs Sometimes compassion takes a little extra courage. You are a brave lady. @casportpony recently started a euthanasia thread ... you might want to share more there.

:hugs I am so sorry too. (sent you a PM)

She looks great OG!!!:love

WOW, amazing :D

I too bought a cheap one that did't work well before I spent the money to buy a decent one which works great and takes Dremel bits. If you have a Dremel already that should work.

I finally got one for my dog after I cut his quick once. Works good and is well tolerated by Tucker.

I have a good bath method bookmarked on my profile page. It's for show birds, but you can simplify:D. If her wounds are healed a warm bath might be relaxing - or just wait a bit. :confused: You could kind of 'spot clean' her in a shallow pan of warm water if it's mainly her feet and vent...

Now that I look - it's not real clear what I meant! :lol:

Why are they not that good to eat? Sorry, they would be good - just not that much meat on them I think. :D I agree w/him that pets who make breakfast are cool!

:hugs

You also @Leighe :highfive:. You may have better luck leaving them in cold/ice water for a while longer. The idea being as it chills, the soft inside will contract more than the hard shell. Is that her good eye? I assumed your son got Leghorns bc he wanted the maximum amount of eggs? :lol...

Thanks, Yep your son and I :highfive: in re the little 'raptors' lol. Its good he is observing them closely enough to distinguish individual characteristics - not so easy with all white Leghorns! Are they banded or marked in any way? I got 4 different colored breeds so I could tell them apart...

Amazing how tough they are!! Then I remember they are descendants of the dinosaurs who did not go extinct. They are survivors. A little oozing or weeping of the cauterized site is probly normal. Your plan sounds good. Do you think Heni can see at all?

X2 :hugs

This sounds very good to me :celebrate. I hope our experts agree! So she might be down a third of her body weight, but she is eating avidly now??? How great is that!!! Just looked at the new pic...:thumbsup

:hit:hugs

Wow she's looking a lot better! How did you attach the cone? Can't wait to hear what your vet thinks. I bet he/she will be impressed with your nursing so far! Have a great day.:fl ETA : When you first mentioned the scratching and the cone, I didn't think it would stay on ... but now I...

:thumbsup Try a little supplemental heat to see if it could improve her appetite. I'd keep the balls small if she will swallow.

Any pro-biotic you have is good. Start that now. Are you trying a light bulb, you should be able to tell quickly if she wants it. Or make your own [pro biotics] by fermenting some of the regular feed. Take a qt of the pellets you are feeding cover them in water in a non metal container...

Be sure to check this one out. Kiki posted above - just posting again in case you missed it, You are trying to remember a lot at once :hugs The syringe depicted is called the 'weak kid/goat' feeding tube and appears to have a nice rounded tip for comfort, supposedly available inexpensively at...
