2 Cayuga Girls & 1 Cayuga Drake

Did the vet give her subcutaneous fluids?

Nope, everything via syringe. 10 ML when we were there & then we’ve done a few too.

I did chop up kale & I put it in her water & she ate it. Do you think it will help?

As you have faeces coming out, it seems logical to have some food going in. Does she still have the peaches and peas available? I would keep those going if you think they are most likely to be what came through. I would introduce kale gradually, and in small amounts relative to the peas and peaches.

I would have expected the vet to give some fluids subcutaneously. Next time you talk to them, ask them about this.

The Vet said to stop with the peas because they don’t have enough fiber. I didn’t even mention the peaches to her to be honest. ‍

I’m not entirely sure what came out. She’s back to pooping yellow liquid again. It’s almost a repeat of Sunday.

The Vet did tell me there was some icky stuff that came out when she was X-raying Mama yesterday but since it wasn’t grit so she didn’t think it mattered.

How is Mama

How is Mama

We gave her 10 ML of fluids about a half hour ago & she’s resting now. Her stomach is making a ton of noises.

Tons of noise could be a good sign!

We are sure praying it is! We really need a miracle. The doctor pretty much agreed with me.

When you talk to the doctor next, ask it it would be helpful to give fluids subcutaneously.
