Granny's gone and done it again

google has used to much mary jane. Tea weed is a low growing weed and looks nothing like mary jane or horse weed or okra.

I don’t wanna risk it or getting the dose wrong or anything. Besides, I have nurses that come every day and I don’t think they’d let me lol

I agree. I wouldn’t do it with your medication. I have done stuff like that for dogs or chickens with antibiotics but I would just wait til you talk to a pharmacist or dr.

Morning all, rough start to my day already. The worst part of waking up is making sure Tom did too. He slept all day yesterday and it looks like today will be more of the same. This terrifies me. I sense something wrong. Now to get him to the drs. Maybe he needs blood? He did once before. His last blood work showed his kidneys were worse. Dr wants him to see a specialist he doesnt want to go.
This post was just interrupted by me having to help him to the john. He swears he will be fine alone today. IDK what to do.

Take him with you

Thanks!!! That’s what I’m gonna do.

The bottom line is, you were prescribed that dosage, and the changing of it violates the prescribing doctor's decision. You said you couldn't take half as they were capsules. I was only suggesting if you wanted to take less of it, there's one way to do it with capsules. I've done it with amoxicillin as the pill is 500 mg and my silkie needed 125 mg. I cut it in half, and wouldn't you know, the thing splinters off into about 5 pieces. Hubby crushed all the pieces on the plate, then divided it in fourths for me. I cracked up laughing as all that white powder he was cutting I imagine is similar to druggies cutting cocaine.

The doctor is aware the new prescription hasn’t been filled yet. My nurses told her. I do appreciate the suggestion though and I hope I didn’t sound rude or anything. Its just not something I’m comfortable doing or confident enough doing. But thank you!

Larry said a tablespoon, and it's in a hose under your coop. Do your chickens go under there? If so, I'd tack cardboard around it to keep them out while you try extracting the varment.

Popping in to say I'm not well. It started the last of last week. week. Make sense? The woozy again. Took a cane to church. Couldn't stay until the end because I felt like I was going to pass out. Headaces. Bronwyn brought me home, took more potassium because that's been the problem in the past. Felt a bit better. Got up this morning..oh no. Heart acting up too. Everyone is gone. I let Austin know. He's an hr away. I drove myself to the clinic here in town. Told him that it's either low potassium..iron..or...my Vestibular problem. Blood drawn. Won't know for a few days. Vestibular makes sense too. Putting my Gracie down then having that panic attack could have triggered me. Resting. I could sleep all day with this. Ugh. It's miserable to not be able to walk around the house without holding on to something all along.
Austin couldn't believe I went alone. I had messaged him. He was ready to come home. I told him not to. This is crazy. I'm a conundrum.

I put hardware cloth, stapled to the coop and buried under the dirt..

But ... I have no way of knowing whether the mystery critter is under the hen house or not. I don't want to block it under so it can't get out and have it die under there.

No, they don't go under there.
