UPDATE on Peanut:
After a week of wrangling with NC State University Veterinary Hospital to find a slot for her in their emergency department, Peanut will make the 100+ mile trip this morning to be seen by their avian specialists in the Health and Wellness unit that deals with "exotics", which includes chickens.
From the outset of this ordeal with this special little girl, she has not skipped a beat and remains the happy, bright-eyed bird she's always been. We're praying that NCSU can get all the metal out of her, treat her for what has been absorbed, and she can go on to lead a normal, happy chicken life!
This is going to break the bank account. They are estimating the removal procedure to be in the $2000-$3000 range with follow-up Chelation Therapy in the $1500-$2000 range.
