So are they doing an abdominal ct also, Granny? Find out and if they are, call the hospital back and tell them that due to transportation restrictions you need to do them both at the same time.Morning all, Im so confused. I know, whats new right? I got a phone call for the CT scan and I made the appt. then after I hung up I realized it was for my hips.
They can swing that. Trust me. Been there done that.
Well, my hens is still with me. I treated her for parasites just incase. Never can go wrong doing that when you don't know what else to do.
Also got her down and put her on the floor and watched her. From what I am suspecting she has sustained an injury. She cannot stand up straight on her right leg. It seems weak but is supporting her. Her left leg is useless to support weight from the knee down. Resistance to movement in the thigh. She hobbled a few steps then flew up to the lowest roost bar which was a positive move. No wing paralysis.
Suspecting at this time that she has fallen or gotten knocked off a roost bar and sustained a spine injury of some sort below the wing level. She is controlling her bowel which is good. I'm hoping that rest and pain medicine will help her along.
I put a cardboard box up where she has been sitting which is in a food tray that I have on top of the nesting boxes for the Black breasted red bantam and bantam cross roosters to eat out of. The Other bantam roosters have restricted them to that area. Yeah, weird but they are chickens so what are you gonna do? Moved the food tray down so she has food on one side and water in the other filled it with straw and pine chips for her and plopped her down in it. She wasn't sure at first if she like this idea then sank down in the straw. The BBR roosters that she hangs with can share the box with her to keep her warm. Now we wait and see. If she doesn't get better I will do the humane thing for her but for now, it's wait and see.
