His back was broke and the spinal cord severed. Surgery was given as a option, but due to the location of the injury he would never have control of his bladder or bowels again. Vet thinks it happened sometime yesterday instead of this morning as his bladder was huge. Mom considered the surgery but dad made the call to euthanize. He said having to be catharized to pee every time for the rest of his life was no way to live.

I'm so very sorry Rebecca.

Do they have names? If so, then the rules of chicken math say that you don’t have any. Just like @Ponypoor has no chickens at all!

Not all of them have names.
Most of them do, though. That means I have five chickens!

How are you feeling Alex.
I've been out today but I have had you on my mind

Off topic, but I had a bad pain in my gut, thought it might be an ulcer, and treated it with cabbage juice. @featherhead007, or anyone, PM me if you want more info. I never had it diagnosed, so this is anecdotal evidence.

I've heard cabbage can be very helpful for stomach problems. Thanks for reminding me.
ALEX @featherhead007 Just please look at this valuable advice. From @Sally PB

Oh my gosh oh Rebecca I am so sad - I was so hoping he would be ok.

Your dad was right, it is not a good way to live. He will be with your Gran now, I am sure of this.

I love you Kelly

Bad Gryffyn, you beast you!

Darn, I sure hope she doesn’t chose up there again. Oh these animals one has to have nerves of steel to own them

Sounds like the prescription is basically for cabbage soup with garlic and red onions

Perfect combination

I've heard cabbage can be very helpful for stomach problems.

I just want to clarify... cabbage juice. A couple of the articles I read said that the fiber in cabbage can aggravate the stomach issues.

Cabbage sure does give me gas...
