ADDITIONAL INFO: Ugh. My Margo. Again.

[Kiki]

I just dropped Margo off at FedEx for morning delivery tomorrow. My garage fridge runs REALLY cold and may have partially frozen her. Ugh. I hope we still get results.

 

[HollyWoozle]

Got my fingers well and truly crossed for you.

Margo was delivered. How long does it take to get results?

 

[Kathy Golla]

They will probably intake her today. They will start the preliminary probably tomorrow.
Usually it’s four business days including intake day.
Could be Friday!
Watch your email!
Remember it’s only a preliminary. Dont take it as a whole picture.

Got it. Thanks. I knew the prelim came first, but glad I might hear something this week. Considering her carcass is three days old and might have partially frozen, I hope they start today. I’m thinking it’s going to be something really obvious, considering how quickly she declined, but we’ll see!

 

[Kathy Golla]

You got it done girl...snaps to you!

 

[cheekychick3]

Yes, hope you get results soon. Thinking of you.

@Kathy Golla,
Thanks. I don’t know about courageous. I felt it was my responsibility. When she was still alive at 4:30, I knew it had to be done. It would have scared my family if she passed and flapped away in the carrier while I was gone at work. Margo was so weak and out of it. Barely alive. Not really conscious, as far as I could tell, which made it less difficult.

Thank you. She become glossy eyed last night. Though I suspected death is where she was headed, I knew for sure once she was glazed over. I sort of wish I had brought her into a vet for euthanasia yesterday, but you’re right. Now that I’ve done it once, I have that tool in the event a bird needs to be put down swiftly.


Thank you. I’ll send her to UC Davis. Had an argument with my husband about this last night, but I’m doing it. I don’t spend money on having my hair done, manicures, pedicures, Starbucks, etc... those things most professional women spend money on. I prefer to spend it on my chickens. I’m a walking paradox... professional at work, but more of a country girl at heart.

I, too, am a professional that prefers to spend my earnings on my chickens. The necropsy will help give you some closure and make you aware of potential problems with your flock. Stand your ground sister!

When I send them to the Tulare or Turlock labs I get a preliminary report by the end of the day that the receive the bird.
