Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Thank you @BY Bob for posting for me.

The aneurysm has not changed and does not seem to be causing his issue.

He is undergoing a full GI work up. He did have blood in his vomit and his colon is inflamed. We are waiting to see the GI specialist to see exactly what's going on.

Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers!

This is good news. Now for what is causing the latest issue.

I found Bridge with a bloody, torn comb. At first, I thought a predator got her! But I realized later she probably got it caught in wire. I was a newbie and had chicken wire instead of hardware cloth around the run. The torn part died and fell off.

She was scratched up pretty bad! Poor thing.

Left (formerly 4) is Anjou (a variety of pear, but I'm pronouncing it with a long a like "yawn"). Right (formerly 3) is Daybreak who's nickname is strawberry beak.

We just had the consult with GI.

He goes for an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon. They are looking for any signs of bowel death from the inside due to the aneurysm.

If they find bowel death then it's off to surgery to open the vessel. If they don't find bowel death then they have to figure out what's next.

I was hoping to run up the hill to see Ruby at lunch, but that’s impossible. Today is INSANE. Posting a board packet, prepping for Admin and working on three presentations for my boss. I’m glad we had our cuddle yesterday.

Rich Update

Everyone please pray for Rich and Danielle (CrazyChookChookLady). She just texted me that Rich has just been taken to the hospital by ambulance. They have no idea whatmay be going on but obviously any change in what he was diagnosed with is extremely dangerous.

Chicken tax, her favorite of mine.
