Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I found warm salt water on cotton wool worked for me. I just kept several cotton wool balls in a bowl of really warm salted water and kept soaking them into the style it soon went away

Agatha is eating her vent is back in place and no more messy poops on her fluffy

She's has been back in her coop and she was waiting for her night time cuddles tonight before bed just like she used to. I made her go into the coop this afternoon for a little nap but she's back on form. I'm soooooo happy. I know she will eventually relapse again but she's loving her life for now so happy days.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding

Restless leg I have heard of many times but not something I have experienced . That must cause a lot of sleepless nights which only serves to antagonize the pain and fatigue

I saw that both Agatha and Tina has has pain and used a little tumeric in various foods I think this helped I also rubbed a little onto cold coconut oil that appeared to work even quicker

I don't trust pain killers anymore, I found anadin and paracetamol a complete waste of time as for codeine that caused me a lot of stomach problems and may just have been the reason I had to have an operation.

A friend of mine has been prescribed for too many years a form of opium and I'm sad too say i feel it's now more an addiction than a help. It's so sad she can't even stay in touch anymore and I have given up on contacting her but here if ever she want me

So apart from tumeric I can't give any advice at all on pain relief for animals or people. I came across dm so, recently but I think I did something wrong because I found myself literally in agony...

However I've not wrtitten this off I just have to do a lot more research on how to administer it. That makes you extremely thirsty (a good thing imo)

Turmeric is quite good for inflammation as well, doesn’t hold a candle to Naproxen, but again the stomach issues from that can be quite intense. What is “dm” ? If you don’t mind sharing. Here a ton of people swear by CBD oils for everything, but it’s really hard to tell how much is hype, placebo, and actual effectiveness… with natural supplements and remedies. Some are clearly effective, as many of our actual pharmaceuticals are synthetic or refined versions of the same or similar chemicals. One of my sort of secondary interests is with venom research and the various benefits from that, as it is found in some of the medications recommended and prescribed for my partner’s condition. Absolutely fascinating. I admit a lot of that is also because of my love of snakes and terror of spiders. For an arachnophobic person I watch a disturbing number of spider YouTube videos!

That is great news Marie. I am so happy for you and Agatha.

That is great news Marie. I am so happy for you and Agatha.

Even my pain is easing up tonight. It's like my body was in sympathy with her. I won't but feel like grabbing hold of her right now. Bless her waiting for me before bed

Just look up , DMSO. It's something I'm researching.
I found CBD didn't work for me and made my dog sick but we may not have had the genuine oil here in rip off Britain

Stay away from those spider videos you will freak yourself out just look up cures for bites

Agatha a few days ago. If the weather is okay I'll take pictures tomorrow

It does look to me like lining, have you had any treatment for coccidia recently? I know you’re coming into winter and that many people treat in spring and wetter seasons for this. Based on the tarp mesh size I think it’s more the zoom than a large quantity of shed, but if you’re able to check with your vet?

Yes, I did do a full treatment for coccidiosis a few weeks ago.

Hen-Rietta, wants her laying box! Not one of the other five available, but only the one with another chook in it! I did persuade her to lay in a different one, but not without argument.

Hen-Rietta, not a happy camper!
