I don't really believe in chance but that things happen when they are supposed to. So this week Miss Mouse has been doing worse. Last night I spent time with her and she was not able to stand at all. So I decided it was time to make some tough decisions about her. This morning she was the same, maybe a bit worse so I called our vet. They don't deal with poultry but I took a chance. There was no way I could wring her neck or let someone else do it. She has gone from chicken to pet over the past two months. The vet said they do not work with poultry but there was a visiting vet from Tennessee there today only who would euthanize her. They could do it right then if I came in, in the next half hour. It was $10 but for my piece of mind it was worth it. I don't think I could have gone through with it if I would have had to wait so it was perfect timing. They tried to put the needle in between neck vertebrae but she was so small they couldn't so they used the vein under her wing. My vet asked for some of her staff to watch so they could learn.

Anyway it's done and as sad as I am to lose her I know it was the right thing to do.

Taprock, sad you lost your pet, but I too believe things happen for a reason. Your chicken taught that clinic a valuable lesson. They may not be able to treat chickens, but at least they can end their misery properly.

Well my insurance agent says that they will not cover my storm damage.
They said that because I had ordinance violations last year that they are not renewing my policy, therefore I can't make a claim.

I forget who had damage last year from a storm and their claim was denied because they had chickens even though the chicken were legal and the claim had nothing to do with chickens.

Insurance companies are worse than the politicians.

The radio people keep saying that we are supposed to get 3 inches of snow overnight. Who wished for that?

I totally agree with you about the insurance companies, we have had a very difficult time with one ourselves

Wow, the MI thread is dropping further down the list anymore. Where are all my old friends? Kimmie, Nova, Swampducks, Juise, Mom2emall, Momma K, R Bahmer? You still out there? Coming to CS? Yeah, yeah, it's the busy season right.

sorry about your little hen Tap. losingpets is always hard



I am looking for a recipe for easy meal using LOTS of eggs, cause I have LOTS of eggs

Raz you seem to have some bad luck, if you have made your payments I don't see how they can decide to NOT pay? something seems a little rotten

 

[chickwhispers]

So sorry Tap!

Raz, something does seem odd with that. I hope it all works out for you though. Insurance companies are getting notorious for short changing people thinking we can't do much because we don't have any power or enough money.
