    Dog attack, injured chicken

    I just got home and found my dog trying to eat/play with the chickens. I found one (Dottie) that I thought was dead. She's still breathing. I don't think any organs are punctured. She's not gasping for air. Her crop is punctured, and food was slowly coming out. I stitched the hole closed (not...

    Has anyone come across a chicken that is completely obsessed with drinking water and eating grass?? Our cuckoo Orpington cockerel (about 18 months old max) has always drunk so much water and always eating grass and hardly ever touching pellets and grain. Past few days, comb has been very pale...

    Help! I think my duck doesn't have enough niacin in her body and she can’t walk now, what do I do??

    She’s very weak and she can’t walk very well. She keeps falling and stumbling. This just started happening today. She occasionally shakes her head every hour or few and she’s starting to lose her appetite. She’s not as energetic or awake as usual, but she doesn’t seem very tired anymore...

    Injured turkey still alive (photo in post)

    I have a youngish royal palm turkey that got attacked by the neighbors’ dog today. He looks terrible but he might pull through - I say this because although all his feathers got ripped out, the exposed skin & fat doesn’t actually look like it tore through to any organ or muscle exposure that I...

    Help! Sick bunny

    My rabbit, Nova, is a 3.5 year old mini lop. She's been an outdoor bunny her entire life, and since we live in Minnesota, it's pretty snowy right now. Last night, we realized that she hadn't eaten or drank anything, and we began to worry. She was also very sluggish, with little responses to our...

    My girl duck was attacked by a dog- massive wound and lung issue.

    My sweet girl was attacked by a neighbors dog (that frequently is loose) and her wound is horrifying. I'm a nurse of 20 yrs and have seen some outrageous mangles and mutilations, but this stopped me in my tracks. Basically, the entire left side of her neck is gone. From just above her breast to...

    Chickens attacked, 2 dead, one injured. GRAPHIC PICS

    I think an owl attacked my chickens last night. My younger birds are smart and like to sleep on top of the coop, which is surrounded by fencing and netting. If something crawled up there from the ground it would have been loud and the birds would have gotten away. I had 27 chickens. But only my...
