Help if you can....



I will have posted this a couple times. JJ seems to be dying. He is my oldest first pair of birds. Ethel was killed by a fur bearing critter, that I hope died a slow painful death....

I found JJ on the floor of the coop not moving. His head is swollen and he is very lethargic. He was in a Tom fight the other day. what Tom isn't this time of year. I told JJ he was too old for this kind of behavior. I am worried he has internal injuries in which case I can do nothing, or he has an infection from the head injuries. His head is swollen.

I have some liquid Vancomycin here. I have calculated the dosage to .25 ml. Based on human dosages.

I need to know if anyone knows if vancomycin is harmful to turkeys? If I do not get a definite answer I will be trying it, I am desperate.

I know I am not clear headed when talking about JJ. He is like a feathered dog to me. Losing him would be devastating. The WWD is with him know. we set up a hospital room in the hallway for him.

Thanks





Think of JJ as my duck... I love him more than you duxers love your duxs!! Thanks

I've seen several such pictures floating around. Kind of gory, but ya gotta respect the talent that goes into them!
How you doing this morning, Hon? Little better & stronger than yesterday? 'Bout the only thing I wanted to do when I came home was sleep.
I am doing good, down pretty much off the pain meds, but still need backup at times. still cant eat but its doing what it needs to, heal
sleep is getting mirserable uncomfy now not on pain meds, so I get up walk sit walk lay walk sit think of some wonderful foods I would love to eat right now

Um, No!
this nasty on my neck Michael, well its freaking nasty as all ummmm nastier than I have words for right now
Good chance that it won't be as noticeable once it's completely healed.

Oh and tell me how to deal with the tears of a WWD? I have never been good at that either,

One of the projects I'm working on today. Frame is from fence that fell down. The rooster and eggs are from prizes won at the 2016 hal. Eggs won't be fixed to frame. Still using them as salt and pepper shakers.

Not finished yet but close enough to show. @Cynthia12
