Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Shadrach]

It's playing ok for me...???? That's weird.

Not working for me either.

Her new feathers are just stunning! Yes, not much cream, much more white and tan.

Beautiful!

1: maybe I have been massively under dosing him? I was doing 0.05ml/lb at 10% solution based on what I had taken down for Tippie and friends reproductive issues. I doubled his does to 1mg twice a day and have started to see a little improvement on the swelling. I was going to just wait in seeing the vet now, which will be day 10 at this dose.

2: I do hope that’s not a mg=ml at 10% solution strength! That won’t happen at almost 70ml!!!

3: I am hoping the vet will do a direct injection at the site, as well as provide a more appropriate antibiotic for the infection. Hopefully in a pill form that I can get into him more easily! Bonus is, I’m going to get a super accurate weight for any medications. If the vet visit doesn’t go well, I will repost in emergencies (again) and tag Kathy on it with pic’s of all the medications I didn’t know the farm had hoarded! There’s a penicillin and at least two other antibiotics I was able to snap pictures of before my milk replacer heist was discovered. I will have to act soon, though before all the sheep are condensed in that area, they make a nighttime trip to quietly “borrow” anything almost impossible. Sheep are disgustingly high maintenance, non-hardy, filthy creatures that require a lot of medical intervention here.

Here are my exact notes. I may have a photo of the bottle and will look for that. The stuff prescribed from the vet was suspended on site, I believe.

• Enrofloxacin (Baytril) 0.21mL x 227mg/mL twice daily for 7-pound bird (~6.81mg per pound) for 7 days

I’ll see if I can find how many mg/mL the 10% solution is. I have some, so I’m sure I have the info somewhere.

It's a nice day out, for winter, so I opened all the coops and kicked everyone outside!!!

1st up is a belated fluffy butt Friday picture courtesy of Lucky.

Ned gathered every one around the water cooler.

You can clearly see Lucky gets her fluffy butt from her mum Goldie.

Lucky seems to have picked up on Aurora's glare.

It looks like the hens are prepared to accept Ned which is great.

They have been already.

I don’t intend to... I can hardly keep up here. The herds site is much slower paced, but I don’t have time for both, and this is my community now!

Phew. I thought you had gone mamal. Some here went pidgin. Some have already gone to the dogs while others are just plain caty.

Still nameless on the Goat front, and open to suggestions, though we have the bottle thing almost down now, and today she is in one of the Cat’s harnesses (from when we would walk them in the city). Potty training is going ok. Flower names here wouldn’t really suit, as the local Orchid names are a mouthful, snowdrops are the wrong color, clover and broom also don’t fit. She was in a cedar rootball or an alder one, old and rotting, she still smells of the earthy forest litter. She was near a creek, in a gully on the other side of the little swampy pond I’ve shown once or twice. She is obsessed with trying to eat plastic bags.

Just a quick few i found...

Avani - Sanskrit - Earth

Bryn - Welsh - hill, mound

Jade - English - Precious Stone

Rhea - Greek Methology - to flow, ground

Geo - Greek - Earth

You be very carefull about BYC dosage advice. You are better off either asking the vet, or looking it up in a vet handbook.
There is rarely a correct dose for most drugs. For example, for external wounds the amoxicillin dose recommended here is 125mg per kilo of live weight. But, it is better to split that in to two doses spaced 12 hours apart.
Some antibiotics work best with a high starter boost. Others drugs like penicillin need to be used very carefully because many anials are allergic to it.
I've read dosages here that would only produce drug tolerance and others that would make a chicken a very sick bird.

Something didn’t work about the video. It was only 2 seconds long and then was over.

It did that for me, but I hit replay and it worked.
