MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Stacks on!

I'm making special dinners tonight and will try to keep Edie separated from her friends at dinner time.

That didn't work at all, however she ate maybe quarter of a cup.

I hope to see a good quantity of poop tomorrow morning.

Poor little ones were swooped by a miner last night.

Is the miner bird you refer to, known as noisy miner? Or a relative?

Or is Katie the nastiest swooper? Poor chicks.

Yes, it's a noisy miner.

Magpies are the worst swoopers where I live, but so far they've not bothered to swoop the chicks.

I was pleased the little ones took such quick action.

The email from the vet came through.

Edie's imaging results show a generalised intracoelomic increase in soft tissue. This is particularly prominant dorsal and caudal to her ventriculus (stomach) which is the location of the reproductive organs. This suggests that she likely has a reproductive tract disease which could be a tumour or a uterine impaction. There are other possibilities but this is the most likely. We have two options from here:​

1) Referral for CT and specialist ultrasond to get a better diagnosis.​

2) Go straight to an exploratory coeliotomy surgery to get an exact diagnosis and possibly treat pathology while we are there.​

​

So she's going to have an exploratory coeliotomy on Jan 2 and will be on meloxicam and amoxyclav until then, which I'll pick up tomorrow.

Morning everyone, just stopping by say, Thank you again
It was a beautiful funeral and everything but it was even harder than I was prepared for.

Everyone has gone home and its just Todd and I now.

Apparently there's a new trend...

Is it the warmth of my leg? It was a quite chilly moment.

My gosh that's wonderful. How lucky you are.

Poor girl. Hoping for the best.

They are so trusting. It's remarkable.
