MJ's little flock

Mary hasn't come home. She's having two surgeries tomorrow. One to investigate and hopefully remove a tumour roughly the size of a tennis ball from between and behind her legs. It's been pushing her insides forward and preventing both her digestive and reproductive systems from functioning as they should. The other surgery is to empty her crop which must be done before the tumour can be examined. If the tumour can't be removed, they'll put her to sleep.

Poor old darling

Oh MJ. I'm praying for a happy outcome.

Good evening folks

MJ Mary is in my prayers

 

[MaryJanet]

I hope Mary's surgery is successful tomorrow.

Thank you Loz. Mark said it's in a good location for removal but whether her insides can recuperate afterwards is an unknown.

 

[MaryJanet]

Probably to late, but immediately wash everything you wore to the show and disinfect yourself and anything else that may have come near the chickens. Shows like this are notorious for spreading diseases.

I did Shad. I had biosecurity in mind when I came home.

Oh MJ. I'm praying for a happy outcome.

Thank you Bob.

Good evening folks

Thank you Bob.

I call Mary an old hen, but she's not very old. Only four and a half. If she recuperates, maybe she'll get a spring in her step.

 

[MaryJanet]

She'd be hungry, lonely and very worried this morning.

Thank you Loz. Mark said it's in a good location for removal but whether her insides can recuperate afterwards is an unknown.

You’re prepared to give her that chance and that says a lot about you.

 

[MaryJanet]

You’re prepared to give her that chance and that says a lot about you.

I respect her and will do all I can to help her.
