Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Nope much like yesterday. Been through 2 boxes of tissues so far.

Sorry to hear that... Tis the season...

Roos need love too!

I’ll try if my ear drums dont get blasted by this awful noise!

It is 14F (-10C) and everyone is sheltering inside. But the sun just peeked through the trees and so Maggie rushes out to greet it. My little sun-worshipper is not going to let some crazy cold temperature get in her way.

Look at her go!!

Ivy never says get well soon.

Instead she extends her sincere hopes for your speedy recovery and recommends extensive bedrest and fluids. And bugs if you've got any handy.

I don’t know if the pupil is consistently not right; it’s hard to get a look at her. I’m glad she is still feisty and has her spunk! I agree yellow skin could be from not having her laying hormones back yet. I wasn’t saying it was directly related to Marek’s, but feared her liver could be having issues… possibly from Marek’s?

Anyway, this morning her crop was empty and she was her spunky self. Marek’s is already a question mark in my flock, so I’ll just support them the best I can. It might be time for beef liver in case Flash is anemic.

Since Ester’s necropsy said she was obese and had liver disease, I’ve cut treats completely (again… why do I get weak and put us all in this position?) and I’m making mash with milk thistle, olive leaf extract, echinacea and goldenseal a few times a week. I don't want to do anything for an extended period of time without avian veterinary advice to do so, but right now I don’t think those supplements will hurt, especially the milk thistle.

Milk thistle is one of Peggy's supplements, along with biotin, choline and DMG. (Not that she's getting any right now.)

Nice to see such lush green!

I need someone to beat me on the head for the stupid move I just pulled. Water is froze off again which means carrying water out to the horses again. Get the first 2 buckets hung up no problem. Russ decides as I'm lifting the bucket up to hook it that it would be a good time to try to lick the back of my head. Like a idiot while still trying to hook the bucket I lean backwards to make him stop and pull something. Ended up dropping the bucket and have a ping pong ball sized knot under my armpit now. I should have just yelled at Russ or sat the bucket down to give him the ear scratches he wanted.

Ice pack on that? Tore something sounds like, sorry you're dealing with that now!

She does look like a concerned nurse, with an old-fashioned nurses cap too!
