That's so much better than 1.2k. Oh, do you have to pay it off yourself?
My mum probs would even let me spend that much in the first place.lol.

Luckily mum paid yesterday emergency fee of $300 so I get today's bill!
I know everyone keeps saying why did I bother for a chicken, but she isn't just a chicken she is a pet! And I'd do the same for any pet!

Oh wow they removed the whole comb.
No wonder you couldn't do it yourself and there had to be stitches. With dubbing you leave a little bit so in the end it looks more like pea comb.

Oh haha yeh when you said I could do it I was thinking no way haha!! Yeh she tore it most of the way herself right along the head and all the way to her nose was very scary.. Seriously though she would have died with the blood loss!

Plus I couldn't let her suffer!!
It was going to cost $200 to euthanize her or $300 to fix her! To me that was a no brainer lol! Specially when it wasn't life threatening!

Glad Wilma is doing better. I paid nearly $500 at the vet when our snake burnt herself on a heat lamp a few winters ago.

Glad Wilma is on the mend, congrats red on your hatch. Sorry about your quails satay, that's really sad
Some of my pullets have started laying. So far I have two from my olive layers and two from a line of Marans I bought in as eggs. AND one of my oldest hens laid the other two eggs. I'm about to candle the giant one to see if there is an egg within an egg or just a double yolka!

Thanks Chook. Nice eggs

Exactly it's too hard not to help them when they are suffering! It's really surprising how many people won't pay for their pets to get better! Glad you got your snake fixed

Yeh I think it was the right choice for her as she is only 18 weeks old.. She deserves to live a long life like any animal! And she sure is enjoying being in the garage away from the 5 others she is right outside my bedroom inside and she is loving the quiet!

Man, are they ripping you off. $200 to give a chook the green dream is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. A few months ago, I had a 27kg red heeler put to sleep. The vet made a home visit, and the cost was still $175.

Glad all is well with Wilma, and you are happy at the result.
