"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Wow.  I am so glad that I have never had to have the procedure done that they did for my girl this afternoon.

We were told to give her a sedative and a pain pill.  So we gave her 1 of each like the RX bottles said one hour before the procedure was scheduled.  But when we got there they gave her 2 more of the sedatives .  She was a champ through the actual procedure. The doctor apparently told her how mature and calm she was for her age.   I was not in there when they did it.  But she said they used the balloon tool to move bones in her forehead sinuses and the sinuses in her cheeks. And he cleaned out the......stuff out of there.   When she came out she looked surprisingly calm and collected!  But within about 90 minutes was on a serious emotional rollercoaster.  Laughing, sobbing, laughing and then just sobbing......a LOT!  It kind of scared me.  I could tell that it was the meds and I had to continually talk to her and get her to focus on what I was saying.  Meanwhile she kept bleeding out of her nose this whole time.  I did a lot of praying so I could stay calm at least in her eyes.  It took her awhile but it finally wore off enough for her to start being a bit more rational and she asked, "Could I PLEASE NEVER take that medicine again!!!"    "Whatever it was."   I am not sure which medicine it was or maybe the combo.  But after she calmed down her nose stopped bleeding too and she gradually got even better.  A bit woozy still at bedtime but she finally felt better enough to actually fall asleep.

The good news is that she really believes that she already can breath better.  I really hope this gets her off the merry go round of upper respiratory infections and antibiotics.

Thank you for the kind comments.  Now I need a nap

Oh my goodness that sounds soooo unpleasant. I sure hope it makes her feel better in the long run!

I dont know what the problem is... I have hatched mine in the bator and yet I have had one die every day! Kept thinking it was my inability to maintain good temps in the bator, still do.. though I have had almost every one born with curled toes... then like 3 will hatch and one die each day. Bedding gets changed daily, do everything just as I did last few years... good hatch rate years... but this year... it has really been awful!
Tends to be my half Bantam Half large fowl chicks that die... my LF chicks are thriving. Weird year.

Curled toes? are you having issues with spray legs as well?

What an ordeal! Hope she's better today and the procedure worked.

Have you thoroughly disinfected your bator? Really saturate it w/bleach - might be some weird bacteria lurking in there somewhere.
I've had crooked toes & chalked it up to humidity issues when I used to use a styrofoam bator (Hovnabator). Once I got my Brinsea, no more problems.

Good morning La-yers. Good thoughts appreciated for my Uncle - his son found him passed out in his yard yesterday. He is having a heart cath this morning. He is my Dad's last surviving brother.

On the up side, we put up another purple martin house Sat & it already has residents! and the hummingbirds are here.....my azaleas are starting to bloom -- I think Spring is finally on the way!

I am amazed at how peaceful my hens are with no roosters around. No fighting, no shrieking, no running away, no crowing at 2 a.m. in the morning.....egg laying has doubled but that may be due to the season. Either way, happy to see my hens happy and once again enjoying having them. I miss my peacocks but not the extra work. I finally feel like my stress level has dropped.

Have a good one!

She is WAY better this morning. Her usual self. I didn't wake her up for school, so she has to rest

She already says she thinks breathing through her nose is going to be better
