If 2020 can’t get any worse, 4 of my 6 babies were killed by a freaking mink. Devastated. We still haven’t caught the lil bas**** either.
Anyways, the 2 babies that survived were also attacked- took them to the vet (which took 6 hours).
Kylo Hen has the most significant Injuries on her neck- and wampa has some but not as bad. Both have so much blood crusted in their heads that I can’t get it unstuck to see under. (Neither could vet).
They prescribed me durmagel twice a day on both of their necks. Meloxicam and Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim every 12 hours
they are safe in my garage where it’s nice and warm and have a large bucket of water.
While wrestling them to medicate them, I noticed both have water eyes. Is this something I need to address? Or could this be from stress? Or are they crying? Or what? I’ll attach pictures of their temporary digs and injuries.
Side note: I’d like to get these girls some new ducks to complete their flock, how many should I get and what age?
I also bought them a brand new coop/run and dumped the murder house.
sorry this is so long.
