VERY cool-ish out there indeed. I had to bring my Tom turkey in last night because he seems to get sick as soon as the temps drop. I have been working with him for about 4 weeks now and I can't afford for him to get another respiratory problem. His wry neck has not budged. This is the most stubborn case of wry neck that I have EVER seen. I have been able to cure him before in the past but this is getting frustrating. The thing is he is still eating, drinking, running around, strutting his stuff and having fun with his girls but his neck is still twisted. I will be taking him to the vet in Lake Charles on Saturday morning to let the vet look at him. I'll be leaving out at 6:00 AM to get there early enough so that I can be the first person in line. If they can't do anything, then I will be off to LSU School of Vet Medicine. I talked to LSU Monday and they said that Dr. Thomas Tully will take a look at him.
I was wondering how he was doing. I sure do admire you for hanging in there with him! I only had one case of wry neck in a newly hatched chick & I ended up losing it. Hope you get some answers from the vet.
I'm ready for it to warm up & STAY warm. The cold really does a number on my knee. I wonder if it'll always be like this from now on, when it gets cold?
Still haven't gotten my NPIP number; guess I'll have to call & find out who lost it.
Thanks for wondering about him. If I lose him, I will have to log off from BYC for a while until I can get profesisonal help/therapy. This is my FAVORITE out of ALL of the animals that I have. I"m thinking positive every day and putting it out in the universe that the vets will be able to help him and he will live on for 20 more years (at least). I know that he is not the 1st turkey in the world to get this and not survive. There has to be a cure for this and I am determined to find it.
I'm sure your NPIP number is in the mail. But I would still call.
Was anyone ever able to pull up that NPIP catalog/book online that has all NPIP names/numbers/etc?
