Thanks for not judging me...

I feel a bit embarassed for going public with a very personal and difficult decision and then reverting course...

I am not one to cry wolf - yesterday I had no hope and had made my peace with ending Sunshine's life and then I don't know what happened overnight, or what prompted me to pick up that phone again as a last-ditch effort. I thought I had done everything, you know?

Not out of the woods yet, still have to wait 5 days to see if there is ANY improvement with this new antibiotic, and if not I will get the Tylan-50, and if that does not work then the decision will be much easier.

The vet mentioned they could send the bodies for an autopsy in this case, to determine what the problem really was (is).

They can get healthy again, I know they can!

oh technodoll this made me cry! i was crying for sunshine reading the posts about ending his life, but sometimes it may be the best thing. and then i saw the update, and i just started bawling. you're just like me. stubborn as a mule and i will give anything for my babies. people point and laugh and tell me "they're just ducks" but thats not it at all. its good that you're giving it one more shot to save him. hopefully it works

Technodoll, don't feel ashamed for your change of mind. I strongly believe in our spirits being able to communicate to one another in dreams, thoughts, etc. If he told you in your dream that he is wanting to fight and thinks he can make it and he won't affect the flock after he is treated, then give him the chance.

He sure looks like he'll be a gorgeous boy when he's healthy and all grown up!

Edited to add...even if you don't want to breed him, he may make a great flock protector!

i love the way u r trying so hard to keep ur poor roo alive i would do the same but my dad would be like it is only a hen And i just walk off he doesnt realise they are living animals too

well done in rescuing him from the farm some of those farms are evil i wont even eat caged hen eggs

I was nervously scrolling down to post 35 ready to read the deed was done.Happy to see you are still trying.I hope they both recover.

I don't know if being so stubborn is a good or a bad thing, but Sunshine and Rosie seem to grateful for it...

I'll post another update in a few days, I have a feeling this penicillin won't work and it's the Tylan-50 they need... I have to wait until Tuesday for the clinic to be open again, and then they have to order the product and then I can go get it. Whew.

bad time of the year to get sick, eh?

I am glad you are still trying..Keep up the good work and I'll keep sending healing energy your way....

You made the best decision for you and your bird, and no one here is going to fault you for that.

Ultimately, it is your decision and you have to do what feels right. I'm just glad that you had the dream before you had it done, rather than after!! Both Sunshine and Rosie look happy, and you're happy, and that's all that matters!

Thanks for the update!
