➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

@Tesumph - Thank you for the story. IV now makes sense. Why did you bring home an infection? That's what you get for taking your robe off and sleeping in strange places.
Hospitals are strange. Everybody is on something.

Rescue sites - now that is something we need to stay away from. Good when you are looking. Evil when you don't want anything.

So, it has been raining here for 3 weeks. The yard is a quagmire and the dogs aren't mopping the kitchen. How do you train a dog to mop the kitchen?

If I could be bothered I would follow up with the hospital to complain about the poor IV management. I think I posted the nasty photo while I was drugged up, but the site was disgusting with old smelly blood pooled under the tape. From what I gather from my family, they didn’t clean or change it during the entire stay, including after rough seizures.
Hmph.

Anyways. You don’t train dogs to mop, you train them to lay on their sides, and then train your children to push them around the wet tiles. Works for me.

Hmph.

I can't speak for every medical institution but the standard of care is to change an IV site (peripheral like yours) every 72 hours or obviously with any kind of infiltration. Some leakage of blood is normal but if it was actively leaking with the IV infusion....time to change!!! I'm sorry you went through that Tess. It's a scenario like that, that gives us nurses a bad rep.

Your conversation reminds me of a meme that makes me giggle featuring....

Here are some pics of my littles....
ELVIS. I don't think anyone can doubt he is a little cockerel.

PRESLEY (yeah, I am corny like that lol.)
Look at the comb developing on this Silkie. To me it looks pretty big. Is this normal? I am leaning Cockerel.

PRISCILLA. Is the consensus that this one is a Buff Orpington? Still an itty bitty comb. I am saying female.

Tentatively LISA-MARIE. This one I keep going back and forth with on gender and may have to rethink the name. Once it gets a little older if it isn't obvious, I will ask opinions. Any guesses on Breed? I have a suspicion but would like ya'lls thoughts?


They are only 1 month old so obviously it is still early. Just would like your thoughts?

OMG....Elvis is just too much!!!

 

[CrazyCrttr75]

OMG....Elvis is just too much!!!

I just saw him standing so tall and strong in the brooder. Posturing and even strutted a couple steps. He is too cute! I sure hope he turns out to be a good Roo. I plan on keeping him. On a side note.... This may be a dumb question but can little Bantam Roos like Elvis mate properly with big old Black Australorps and Jersey Giants? Or should I really think about keeping a different kind of male?
