Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Alex, your flock are healthy so you don't need to change anything.

In my case, Peggy's liver was fractured and bleeding (hepatic lipidosis). That's why I cut her treats.

Sorry about Peggy. I have had several pets actually pass away, and I still think of them often. Hang on there Peggy!!

She's thriving now. She sees the vet every three months for a check up and he's very pleased with her progress.

Current situation sitting here with a half drowned silkie wrapped in a towel drying off on a heating pad. I think I found her in time, but she'd gotten in a 5 gallon bucket somehow that had 3 inches of rainwater from the last few days. I swear these silkies try to find ways to kill themselves.

Maybe try a hairdryer on gentle? Will warm her up and dry her out. Poor little thing!

Is she doing okay?

I did end up using the hair dryer on her for a few minutes to get her dry, she loved it. She is rewrapped up in the towel sitting on the heating pad in my lap. If we go by the happy chirping and trills she's doing she'll be just fine. Before I put her back out to rejoin her momma and siblings at bedtime I'm going to make sure she gets some save-a-chick water down her just in case.

This sounds like a happy chick to me.
