Granny's gone and done it again

[Wishing4Wings]

Pics of Berry, if anyone is interested. She still seems to be “ok” and in shock. I cleaned her up a bit, she’s not limp but she didn’t protest. I guess I’ll decide tomorrow what to do with her, if she doesn’t decide for me.

Spoiler: Injured pullet

Third pic is the deep puncture on the underside of the throat.

You should show these to your neighbor...

glad your better. Man, your DH is going through the mill ! Poor guy. Is he as nice as you are ? What about #1&2?

Hubs is waaay nicer than I am, but both of us dislike bickering and strife, so we get along.
#2 brought home a new graphics board for his computer and is gleefully setting it up and ready for superior video gaming. Fortunately, he is only an occasional player.
#1 is still not home from work. I'm trying to get dinner going so he won't eat chips as soon as he walks through the door! (Because then I don't get any! )

Chickens are pretty sturdy beasts. Could be she'll be fine if you keep infection out with the triple antibiotic. Maybe some oral antibiotic as well for a few days.

just a drip coffee maker. The most simple kind. Its the torture chamber, it hates me.

Thats what I said. Be even better if you took the chicken over there and let her tend it til it heals. It aint nothing but right.
You are a nice person Wishing ! LOL

One tablespoon scoop of coffee per 8 oz of water.

2 rounded scoops for a 5 cup coffee maker and I think they are TBSP

You should show them pictures to dogs owner.

ya, I was gonna ask if you have a place in isolation for her. Probably a solid month anyway.

She was cradling the chicken in her arms when I drove in. I looked at her from the car window, then made her carry the bird to my house. I drove and started gathering supplies. Then I had her hold Berry while I washed my hands and looked her over, found that deep puncture, and put her in the box. She was crying when I said “if she’s alive in an hour, then I’ll work on her. I don’t want her stressed in her last moments.” Then I washed my hands again and made her leave.

DH gave her the practical advice... like a runner line in the front yard. She has a small terrier that she treats like her own human child. But this black dog... anyway, I’m not sure what’s going on but she’s not really taking care of either of them right now. She asked us to let them out yesterday morning, so I did. She said she’d be home in a few hours. But this morning she still wasn’t home. I can’t see her house unless I go outside, so I just assumed she was back. Her poor pups were inside alone all day. They have food and water, but still couldn’t go out. DH said if she does that again, she has to rehome them.

She lost both of her stepparents this year (or a little more) and one actually died here while visiting. She performed cpr while waiting for the ambulance. Her bff is getting married in a few weeks, and her mom is pitching a fit about putting friends before family. So it really seems she’s not doing ok right now. As upset as I am about Berry and all the others (Jep, Jim, Briar), I can’t bring myself to me mean about a chicken.

Thank you for explaining Camping . It does sound like she might need some help. At least she seen what her neglect is doing . Thats the important thing. That dog is one of those budweiser dogs. They are mean and stubborn. Worth a few bucks even mixed. She should find a home for him.
