Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Lost, but never forgotten.

I could modify what I already have I guess

I love this idea.

Last time I weighed her (which was probably a month ago) she weighed 16 pounds!!

That's a turkey!

Hey! Welcome back! How's the health? How are the birds? How are the pups?

Hi Rural mouse . Health issues are ongoing. Getting a skin cancer removed tomorrow and my noggin scanned Friday in a attempt to diagnose my tremors. Lety and I spent a few hours making sure everyone is cozy with our first cold front blowing in this evening. Up to 17 pups now and 2 kitties.

Can you provide a photo of the label on the fish mox that shows what the power of the medicine is? Something like 250 MG per capsule or something similar.

Hi Bob, yes that's what it is. Thank you. I also have Baytril. They are both about 4 years old, hopefully still good. I bought them for emergency use, but never had to use them. I also have Corid and Ivermectin.
I just lost one of my Welsummer girls, hopefully I can nurse this girl through whatever is ailing her.

This was for our pigs. It has to be injected, I should probably just get rid of it. Don't think we'll raise more of them.

And this was for my horse.

Just wanted to show you what I have in my arsenal. I can buy other things, if there's something better to have on hand.
Thank you so much!

I found out why I haven’t found any eggs lately.
Elsa has been eating them. She eats her own, and any she can find. She’s a monster and she will not relent! I caught her trying to peck at a light bulb in my room just now.

You will need a mirror like I used.

Always check your side view mirrors before backing up

That would be very handy.

Quite the couple.

The baytril is what saved Niamh. The baytril dose is 0.1 ml / kg. So Niamh was 1.5 kg so she got 0.15 ml of baytril twice daily delivered orally.

Remind me what you think her issue is. Baytril is broad spectrum and treats most things. The amoxicillin is more targeted. It would treat bacterial pneumonia for example but maybe not a Gastrointestinal infection.

I can dose the fish mox but I want to know what you think the problem is first.

I really have no idea. She's not all hunched, yet. She's not eating very much at all and mostly just stands there, unless I try to catch her...lol I've been in town for the last two days, so I haven't been able to examine her again today. I will be home tomorrow. I will bring her in, check her crop and abdomen again and also weigh her and post again with my findings. So Baytril might be a good place to start, since it's broad spectrum.
Thank you so much for your help and time.
