Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Tahoe is beautiful. I’m staying with my friend. Hannah met with me and we both took her car to the friends house. I’m considering this as a bed and breakfast for me. Maybe $300 a night is good compensation? Anyway, I safely arrived, locked down Marie, and had coffee at the airport, waiting for Hannah. What this poor girl is going through now, I don’t want to discuss, but I’m here now and she’s protected. I will check with Jojo in a few hours about my chooks. Sadly I should be sleeping, but I’m wide awake.

Hannah is truly blessed having a friend like you

@ChicoryBlue How is Anna today?
I'm hoping she gets stronger each day - even if it is just 'baby steps'

 

[ChicoryBlue]

I made a decision to treat Anna for mycoplasma. It may be too late now, but I'm giving her a chance. Since it was suspected with Peanut I'm saying it's in the flock already anyway. It explains Anna's eyes, keeping them closed, and my sense the last three days that particularly the left one is too dark, and yesterday thinking I saw a red color, like conjunctivitis on one side of her eye.

I called the vet yesterday about it and asked about antibiotics or what could explain the eyes closed, her pecking the air trying to eat as if she's blind, etc and how she's not improved much from the Corid treatment. No call back, so four hours later I called again, and they said finish the Corid (last day was yesterday) and after the weekend if she's no better we'll evaluate.

So today she scratched her head, I've seen that and noted that though she is weak, she has good balance, also when doing the ballet stretch.

But her eye began bleeding, or showing blood. I knew I wasn't seeing things before.
Had been thinking I would try the Terramycin ointment. So got some systane drops in there, wet a q-tip with it too, and then tried to gently wipe her eye out. A little bit of mucus, then a clotted piece of blood came out. Put Terramycin in both eyes.

Gave her .06 ml of 10% Baytril, she's .583 kg, so .1ml Baytril per kg = .0583 ml, I gave her .06 ml. Hope that's right. Unfortunately have to be away almost all day at a gig. Gave her 2ml water also. I don't think she can eat or drink on her own.

I will try to check in. If anybody has advice let me know.

Related or not, somebody has sneezed since they first arrived from the hatchery, and now that they're banded I know it's Ida. I'm pretty sure she has a respiratory infection, I hear it in her voice. Her eyes seem good though. She has been sneezing regularly, & sprayed me a couple times lately. They are no longer on the Corid water, it's been five days and Anna is really not much better. I don't think it's Coccidiosis but the run improvements are underway and that's good anyway.

Fluffy Butt Family myself and my family could really use your prayers right now. Grandma has been in a steady decline the last 2 days. Me and mom were changing her bed linen a hour ago and she had a spell and stopped breathing. She came back around but from her waist down what little control she had with movement is gone. Me and mom asked her if she wanted us to call 911 and take her to the hospital. She wants to stay home and begged not to go back. I cannot see into the future, but immediate family has been notified. I am not ready for this but I am holding it together in front of her.

I am so sorry, do you have the ability to engage hospice care, they are angels in human form and can be very helpful. They can come to you.

More importantly, hugs, so many hugs coming at you.

Let me know if you want a recap of anything, I can send you a PM.

I will be posting the weekly synopsis shortly to send to her if she wants it.

I wish I had advice but I don’t however my heart is with you and this sweet girl.

Jojo said my chickens were doing fine. Even Jaffar likes her. I’m now in the middle of an investigation. Hannah did exactly what I wanted her to do, pack up and leave the situation and get help. Seems my career has never really ended. Just wanted you all to know that I’m safe and the views here are amazing.

Awesome thanks! I forgot it's Saturday already.

Glad she is on antibiotics, hopefully that will help with whatever is causing her to be so ill. Let the Baytril do it's thing for a couple days and see what happens. The eye could have been injured if she is unsteady, it could be anything. But I think you are doing the right thing with the antibiotics.

Thinking good thoughts, hugs to all of you.
