No, it cant be a boy...because it looks identical to its mom. Why are you making it a boy? they couldn't ALL be boys. 

 

I have plenty of flies for everyone. Would anyone like me to bag some of those up for you? 
I got my PONYTAIL stuck in the fly paper today 

Lol, you crack me up! I can't wait to meet you. Will you post pics of my chicks again? I can't wait to have them but I sorta forgot what they looked like. Hahaha
Yuck on the flypaper ponytail!

I posted this on the thread i started for my hen's foot, anyone able to help more here?

Ok, a few days after typing that i started penicillin shots anyway, since that was the only medicine available on short notice.

the first 2 days went ok, at .50 doses. the third day i couldn't get the needle in for anything, gave up. 4th day did ok. i stopped there because i read that you should only give it up to 5 days.  Looked like it was healing, so i left it alone. 

Started swelling, a liquid swelling on the ankles and top of foot between toes..... So i put her back on the penicillin but this time at .75 the first 4 days and 1 ml the 5th  (going by another article that stated up to 1 ml for up to 10 days)  

Am i going too far? is the liquid swelling because of the healing and her bumping around, or does it sound bad?
A different antibiotic???? Any help would be appreciated.  I also found out today that she has roundworms or something similar, and i wonder if that is hindering her healing.

Again, any help is appreciated.....

I wish I could help you. I'd probably pack it with charcoal paste too. But we think charcoal cures everything. Lol

You know, I use charcoal paste on my sheep. Sure works good for things.

Because she took a picture, remember? 

It will cost me...thats fine. I have plenty of cats. 

And if crippled DH needs  TLC, he shouldnt be so demanding.."Lift my pillow! Get me a pain pill!" "Let the dog out!" 

ETA:
Randy I read your post to my hubby, and he said, "yes yes I agree- do you know anyone who would give him some TLC?" 

Bahahaha!!!!

So either we are both crazy or we are on to something. Actually we use it for upset tummies, nasty wounds on animals, etc. it's fixes lots of things.

charcoal paste?

Is this the stuff sold in syringes for helping poisoned animals, in the same spot with the probiotics tubes? I am wondering what meds people use for staph, usually (but not always) it is the same thing..............?

Yay! Thank you! They are so pretty. I told my mom I was going to bring her and Uggo. Hehee

I actually just open up charcoal capsules and mix it with water accordingly. How thick depends on where you put it really.

Yes it does. I use it for upset tummies to. When I have done everything I think I possibly can then I will turn to charcoal and I know I have saved sheep that I have given up on. All because of the charcoal. I swear by it.
