I had to make Robert yet another foot Dr appt. Yup, infected yet again. This is scaring me. Its the 3rd time I think. He had a sugar drop in the middle of the night last night

Oh no I hope his foot gets better!
I take colloidal silver for infection, and I only buy it from here! We have shopped here for 16 years!!

Yay, Iris, thst's good news on Larry's hip!

Congrats, Cynthia, on the rain!

Oof, Granny, sorry about Robert's foot. Do his shoes fit good?

Good evening everyone! Sounds like everyone had a pretty good day. Good news for Larry he does not need hip surgery. Other than a little arthritis his hips are fine. Ortho doc thinks all his pain and weakness are related to his spinal issues. We see the neuro doctor on the 26th. Headed to the kitchen to warm some leftovers for supper.

Awesome news. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of the back problems. At our age we all get a bit of degenerative disc disease. Hopefully it's nothing worse than that.

Is she prolapsed? The med you gave her is useless if so

I got her taken care of, thanks. Gave her an Epsom salts bath - in the kitchen sink! Hated to do it there, but with this knee, needs must. Thoroughly sanitized afterward. Anyway, had DH get me some olive oil in a little bowl and dipped my fingers in it to gently lube and loosen her tissues until the egg released, yay! Then held her tissues in place inside her - and yes, she was trying to push them back out - while DH gave her another calcium tablet. After a bit she relaxed and quit pushing so I towel-dried and then blow-dried her and then put her back into the infirmary crate and covered it so she will rest. We marked her with red and yellow leg bands so we'll know to keep an eye on her, and Melissa named her Sasha. Tomorrow she'll go back out into gen pop if all is well.

I love these Ameraucanas, they are so docile and easy to handle.

What do you call this anyway? Is it a form of egg-binding? Or is it along the lines of prolapse?

Glad to hear that the hen is doing better, @BigBlueHen53.

I lost one of my old girls. Went out to feed and she was belly up under the roost bars. Probably about 7 or 8 years old so not surprised. She looked healthy enough. Of good weight, crop full, no signs of prolapse or being egg bound. Probably a sudden death heart attack. Told DH that the way things are headed I'm going to wind up with a flock of roosters before all is said and one.

Colloidal silver is great. Our vet recommends it for wounds when our cattle dogs get banged up. A couple of drops directly on the wound to speed healing. We use it on wounds ourselves. Silver permeated wound dressings were coming into vogue shortly before I stopped working clinical. I agree with @WhatsUpDuck. Look into Colloidal silver.
