OMG, she looks so good! I am glad they are doing well.
No, I don't think this is them being cold, it doesn't sound like a distress call. It just sounds like 'tweens at a sleep-over'
I was referring to your time in law enforcement.
Thanks - that is what I thought because there is no mistaking the urgent bleating they make if they get separated from each other and feel scared - but I am a bit nervous as it is going down to the mid-30s again tonight.No, I don't think this is them being cold, it doesn't sound like a distress call.

They sound contented to me. Happy little chicks
!
No new pics yet, I was busy chasing a little chick back under the fence to her home next door. Cutest little thing. Yep, looked like a yellow-Ish chipmunk. She easily ran through a chain link fence. She’s safely back home. I’m glad I didn’t hold her, I would have kept her!I expect some awesome rock pics
My mum has never had any injury or pain till she pulled something a couple months ago shovelling snow... I told her she has sciatic!

I gave her a little under half the dose prescribed to Roostie, because he was over 13lbs and the hen was significantly smaller, it was a little under .5ml I think. I’ve also given it to one rescue that didn’t make it last summer… got the “sick chicken” call by the time it was far too late to do anything but ease her pain a little, she passed within five hours of bringing her up. I have found it makes them a little dopey, very quickly. It’s a 1.5mg/ml. Maybe it was just my calming presence holding her that did the trick? I have some leftover from Roostie’s prescription and have been giving it to in obvious pain chickens… so just the two so far, it really seemed to help, but of course with patients that can’t tell you what hurts/helps all I really had to gauge that is my observationWhat dose did u used with the Meloxicam? It's also used in cats and horses.
Meloxicam is a selective Cox-2 inhibitor very similar to Celebrex.
Naproxen (Aleve) is a Cox-1.
Cox 2 are safer for the gut and not as corrosive to stomach lining as Cox1 like naproxen. Though IMHO naproxen is a better pain reliever than Meloxicam or Celebrex.
You will be familiar with the term NSAID I am sure, and that is what they are.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an NSAID, as it doesn't reduce inflammation. But it is good for minor pain and fever relief .
Other pain meds will fall into opioids like codien, tramadol, etc. Effective pain relief but prone to habit forming, and also the longer they are used the less effective they become. They act on the central nervous system, but don't reduce inflammation.
And all meds come with their own issues. It's no wonder pain control is such a huge thing!
Great… mamas got her well in hand, and seems to be healing up well. This is a crummy shot of her, and my chin, but the best at showing her cheek.
You forgot to mention they don’t give a bok about daylight savings time either!OMG, she looks so good! I am glad they are doing well.
And, honestly,except for in the corporate world, it really doesn't matter what day it is. Animals need to be fed, watered, etc..chores, planting, harvesting, whatever based on the season, not the day.
