Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Hi everyone, just checking in. I'm sorry I'm late but happy belated birthday Alex. My sister is on the mend finally but I tested positive today. Tuesday evening started feeling like a sinus infection was coming on and honestly that is what it feels like I have. A sinus infection from hades. I'm fully vaccinated and have been since April so hopefully it keeps it at a sinus infection type situation. I have no fever thankfully but my blood sugar levels are slightly elevated, not dangerous though yet. That is going to be the tricky part as of right now, because my doctor insisted I start steroids before it got to my lungs so prescribed a prednisone pack. I know from experience that steroids makes my levels go stupid, so instead of taking them like normal he wants me to only take 2 a day for a week. That way hopefully while it will increase my blood sugars somewhat it wont send me into the 500 plus range which will require hospitalization. Right now they are hovering at 180 to 200 but I'm crossing everything possible that I can manage to keep them below 350. Everyone else in the house is fine so far and are supposed to come off of quarantine next Wednesday, but we will have to see if that gets extended now with my positive result.

I will be praying for you. Please take care of yourself and just try to ride this out.

Thanks for the birthday greeting. And sorry for the Covid situation.

River is not well. I'm taking her to see the vet today.

Jaffar is angry with me tonight. I was petting each hen a good night, and he stared at me and growled. I explained to him, that saying good night is my thing to do. (He doesn’t care, those are all his ladies I guess) Everybody is safely back in the coop. Arizona and Dakota are in the chickens room (they don’t like the coop) no matter what I have tried, they wait on the porch rails and squawk, until I bring them inside.

Oh no. What's going on?

 

[LozzyR]

Oh no. What's going on?

Listless, not particularly interested in eating. I’m worried she might be egg-bound.

Guess who (there are two)

Oh dear. I really hope it all stays under control for you.
