Thanks for your response. I'm also looking at pain meds as a "pulsed" intervention and not continuous. I might go back to meloxicam at some point but I know my vet will likely want me to bring Fay to the office for that.
Fay also has her ups and downs, which means I have ups and downs....! Appetite very good one day, distracted another day. My survival mantra has been: One. Day. At. A. Time.
Su-su's guardianship likely contributes a massive amount to May's improvement, since May's energy is not wasted on stress. Fay's closest sister (also Black Australorp) is Celeste, who was initially sticking near to Fay, but who's now conflicted about wanting to participate in flock activities/free ranging that mostly leave Fay waiting for her return. Heading back to the barn now for evening responsibilities and to put the girls to bed.
