My daughter is beyond jealous . She's a big Tom fan.

They are actually filming the Thor movie on the same block of where I work. We still have pedestrian access so you can get up close.

Well back from the vets again. Agnes saw the ophthalmologist along with the bird vet she saw yesterday. It took three of us to stop her wriggling lol. She didn't need to be sedated which was good, though the quiet time in the broody crate before we left definitely helped keep her calm (much, much less yelling than yesterday; now I know how poor mothers with screaming children feel). It's really good they have a lot of different specialists all under one roof there, saves on money, time and stress.

Welp, bad news is it's BOTH eyes that have problems. Left one is worse than the right though. Basically it likely seems to be due to some underlying infection and the eyes are copping it as the rest of the body copes. Determining what kind of infection (bacterial, fungal, viral) is the next step, for now we're treating it as bacterial, and go from there. She's got two different eye drops, and two different antibiotics (baytril and doxy) and a follow up with the ophthalmologist on Monday. If this doesn't work, then it'll only get more expensive and need more testing, but I'll cross that bridge if and when. She's worth it of course, so I'll do as much as I can. I'm just in need of some good luck, so I'm off to visit a place tomorrow that usually brings me some good vibes

Met another fellow crazy chicken lady whilst I was there, with two lovely birds. She also rescues roosters that some disgusting beings leave at the rubbish tip! She and the ophthalmologist also praised the vet, so that's also reassuring that Aggie's certainly in good hands. I wish that lady the best in her rescue work, I hope to do that myself one day.
