MJ's little flock

[Grammy60]

Good morning/evening MJ and everyone

That's great news to hear , MJ

 

[RoyalChick]

She's ok!!!



It was a hernia!! And a big lump of fat!! How does a chicken get a hernia? Same way as a human?

Anyway, she's awake, eating and drinking!!

She'll stay in overnight and someone will call me tomorrow with an update and to arrange a time for me to bring her home!

Just think of that... A damn hernia and fat lump stopped her digestive and her reproductive systems... .

 

[MaryJanet]

That is great news and such a strange problem for a chicken to have. Has Dr. Mark seen this before?

Way to go Mary and Dr. Mark!

I haven't spoken to him yet, but I'll ask when I see him.

I spoke to one of the nurses. I expect Mark will clarify everything when I pick her up.

 

[MaryJanet]

I spent the whole day dreading the call and was over the moon when they said she was doing well

 

[MaryJanet]

That's twice now Dr Mark has needed to perform surgery in order to precisely diagnose a condition. First it was Peggy's liver now it's Mary's fat lump and hernia.

I'm so pleased for you both.

That's two hens he's saved for me. As a beginner, I'd be lost without Mark's expertise.

I wish I could find a vet I had some confidence in here.

There must be one surely. The UK is the birthplace of modern veterinary science.

Yet, the more I talk to people on byc about it, the more I see how lucky and privileged I am.

The other interesting thing is how often his treatments break from the customary treatment procedures people describe.
