Gotta feel for that Andrew bloke; and over a goat of all creature.

Exactly!

Sad News I'm afraid.
The vet looked her over and said her condition appears neurological . Could be Marek's Disease (her neck was weak and her head was pointing back), a spinal injury, poisoning or a number of other things none of which can be realistically treated . I asked the vet to euthanase her.



I gave her a quick once over when I looked at her this morning @micstrachan . She felt heavy to me. I couldn't feel her crop, her vent was a bit pink with some poo on the feathers. Her last egg was in around March last year I think. She was in the middle of a light moult. The vet said that her breast muscles were atrophied which I hadn't noticed so she has probably been sick for a while.

The only odd behaviour I had noticed in the last few weeks was that she preferred to roost on the floor instead of on the perch. She roosted on the high perch the night before last so...who knows?

I'm sorry it is such sudden bad news.

I'm sitting in the study looking out the window. Deana is perched on the back of the garden bench alone.

Thank you for your kind thoughts everyone.❤

So sad to read this.

Not a hope! The cats refuse to understand the word no.
