Day 42 update:
Well, kinda discouraged today. Her crop was doing well, and then yesterday it started back with emptying slowly. And just after I had managed to meet my 4 egg yolks a day goal! Upped her monistat to 3 times daily. She didn't eat a lot yesterday, but she was drinking on her own and drank a lot. She's had a LOT of very runny greenish poop last couple of days. I was hoping she was just flushing out her all the toxins in her system or that the antibiotics were making her poops runny and the green from not eating enough, but now second guessing that. Today I've been able to feed her decently well, but her crop is still slow. I ordered some Nutrical to give her that is even more calorie dense than just the egg yolk. I'll add this as a supplement to her feedings when it comes in this weekend.
Her comb still looks about the same. I thought her face swelling was looking better yesterday, but then today it looks worse. The spot near her right eye is pushing her eye lid out of alignment.
Her foot I've actually been able to work on the last several days some. I'm starting to see a correct foot shape now with defined toes. However when I went to soak her today, I noticed her middle toe had turned purplish black. ARGH! Not a good sign. There's no way I wrapped it too tight, so thinking this is necrosis setting in. It still has blood circulating to it, so I don't know. Her leg is really swollen and the spots there are pretty big. They haven't gone down in size at all and I even had wrapped them with sugardine to see if I could draw out the infection. No such luck. The color hasn't worsened though. Her good foot still has a smallish spot on her toe I've been putting betadine on. But I see a few red spots on her leg now. Another not good sign. These pics were taken before I removed more pus:
Her belly spots are about quarter size now, but have been for awhile. They look very much like the breast blister from earlier on. I still betadine these twice daily. They don't seem to be getting better nor worse.
She's pretty weak when I soak her, or she's just tired. Her big heavy crop was basically pulling her over in the tub today as she likes to just sleep there. I had to help hold her up for most the time, or she would just wedge herself in the corner and prop herself up on the sides of the tub. But in her crate, she stands on her own, preens, and walks to her water, so I dunno. Maybe the water is just soothing and relaxing.
With all these discouraing symptoms today and with being on enrofloxacin for almost 10 days now, kinda wondering if I'm seeing the writing on the wall....
