MJ's little flock

You are so fortunate to have a really good chicken vet.
I found an Avian vet in the area but her patients are basically, parrots, and other pets of that type. I think I brought her the only chicken patient she has.
Yes, I'm extremely fortunate to have Mark's expertise within a 40 minute drive. He used to keep his own chooks and is great with all birds.
 
Peggy's a special case because she has an insufficient pancreas. To keep her healthy, hee food is supplemented with enzymes. So when she went off her food, as chooks will when moulting, she wasn't getting enough enzymes in her diet. It was downhill from there.
Oh I see. That does make the difference then. I didn’t know the history.
 
I've just had another update on Peggy.

Her fecal float came back negative, so that's good. She did some unassisted eating of pellets first thing in the morning, so that's good too. And she's getting sassy.

She's still on her antibiotics and crop feeding regimen. They're giving her granivore wombaroo with her enzymes mixed in. So she's staying at the vet's over the weekend for more treatment and recovery.

I think this a good idea because the stronger she is before coming home, the greater her chances of flourishing once she's back in my care.
