I was able to get disolving sutures from my regular small animal vet for FREE. I explained what I was about to do and thought they would think I was crazy. But when they called back she said come on down. The emergency vet I spoke with out of Concord, NH the previous week also encouraged me to do the procedure. He said that chickens are hardy it was basically her only chance.
This has been ongoing for probably two months since I first noticed her making weird movements with her head and neck. I knew something was up but I hoped it would clear up on it's own. I tried the oils, vinegar and massage to no avail. I honestly believe that what made her recover so well was the fact that I didn't wait until she was emaciated and on her last leg. She was really thin but was still able to get some food through (amazingly). She had strength and a will to get back outside with her sisters! Once again, if it wasn't for reading about this procedure on this forum and all the support from members, I never would have been able to get Sylvia to where she is now.
