HELP! FRIEND HAS HEN THAT FALLS OVER RIGHT AFTER STANDING. 1 YR. OLD HEN. No straw, mold,no wounds.
Other symptoms? Poop? Lethargy? Eating? Drinking? Not eating, drinking and lethargic too.
Well, got to do something not so fun yesterday. Went ahead and took photos as I went along with my husband's help. Bumble Foot. It's been a while since I have had to do this. Noticed her limping yesterday morning, got it done in the afternoon, went ahead and changed the bandage today to see how it was looking. Looking good! I love using the biopsy punch. Just the right size this time. Getting water ready for the soak. It's so interesting how they are usually pretty calm in the bucket! Getting that towel over the head. She's covered, and can't see. Now they lay still for it. Appears to be pretty large. This punch fit right around it nicely. I want two other sizes. Got most of it, have another tool I didn't show, to cut around it...didn't use the exacto knife this time. Have my neo ready to put into the hole. This one bled pretty good, but I smushed that Neo in there. Then hurried and put the quaze pad on. Then the vet wrap. I like to use the sticky water proof tape over a part of the vet wrap, to make sure it stays on. All done! She's checking it out. :) So is the leghorn. Funny, a lot of the hens came to check it out. Now after changing it today, I will wait for a couple of days, and change it every two days until it is healing pretty good, then to three days until it's healed. Glad it's done!
awesome! Good vet job!!

My Toby. This poor guy had a freak accident at the age of 4. Man, that was hard.



When a friend here on BYC heard what happened..she did a sketch for me of this photo!
