Granny's gone and done it again

[jane s chickens]

How old were they?

Thank you

Oh no, those are very scary! Hoping for the best possible outcome. Hugs.

Thanks, yes, more traumatic for me than him, I think.

Yikes, chickens do act like dinosaurs at times. Hope she will recover for you. Added protein might help, plus vitamins, electrolytes and added warmth.

She seems better and ate some egg and bird seed, so there's hope.

Home sick today. I must have ate something bad or have the stomach bug.
Why does it always hit on Friday?

Wishing has anything been sprayed in the yard lately? Like for bugs or weeds? That can cause seizures.

No, we don't use anything like that. All the work on the motorcycles is out front and he doesn't have access.
Hope you feel better. Those dang kid germs are tough.

ha Hi Wishing, was just writing you a pm to ask about Scooter. How is he today?

There is a cardinal that keeps trying to flog the cat through the window!

I just had the most God awful pains . Robert was asking to call hospital. Scared him I guess. Made my whole body jerk.Gave me headache. No idea what it was but big vein popped up close to there now.

Scooter had a second seizure at 8 this morning. It wasn't as long as the first, under a minute, but after, he started coughing, more coughing than the first time earlier. This time he coughed up bloody mucus.

So, off to the emergency vet. They don't know what is causing the seizures, tested normal for all the tests they did (blood and xrays). Neurologist said it could be brain tumors or meningitis (brain swelling) or even epilepsy, but that is unlikely due to the late onset. (Scooter is over 9yrs) The bloody mucus was from pulmonary edema, caused by the seizures. He was coughing while I talked with the neuro dr, and even obliged the man by hacking up a little blob of pink bloodiness. They kept him for treatment overnight. He was in an oxygen tent when I left since his respiration was high. They are giving him meds for both the edema and the seizures, and they are also starting him on antibiotics since he's at high risk of pneumonia and there was a little shadow on the xray. They want him to be stable before he comes home. Vet wasn't sure he'd survive another seizure without oxygen support, so treating the lung edema is the priority. I should get him back tomorrow.

I seen one a couple days ago hitting the window. They see themselves and want to either fight or mate it.

Oh dear. Where was the pain? And where is the vein that popped out? Are you feeling better now?

Oh No ! I am so sorry Lynda. Poor scooter. Im glad he has you. I bet you are wore out.

side of my knee and up higher on my thigh. Gone now but feels odd. Vein still there.
Have you slept ? How are the boys ?
