MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Hope you are beginning to feel a bit better MJ.

I am thanks RC. The only remaining symptoms are fatigue and spasms of dry coughing. Very nearly ok again

Sending healing wishes … hope you get well again very soon.

Thank you! Almost there.

I hope you feeling better soon MJ.

Thanks Loz. This one has really dragged on.

Mary had an appointment Dr Mark the vet today. She's been coughing and struggling to breathe. It's keeping her awake and preventing her from eating enough.

No doubt her reduced lung capacity from the hernia operation she had years ago is a factor.

He took one look and said, "Yep, infectious coryza, we've seen a lot of it lately. So that's lincospectin."

Linco has no egg withholding period.

The whole flock are sick with it, but with her vulnerability, Mary's symptoms are very clear.

There will be an improvement, hope it's the only treatment she needs.

So glad you caught it. Are you treating everyone or just Mary?

Great photo.

The whole team. I'm sure they all have it but as Mary's more vulnerable, she's the canary in the coal mine.

The photo's from last year. She put those straws on her own back!

By the way Bob, I was so excited to see your coop on the homepage!

How’s Mary doing today MJ?

It was nice on the lake this morning. Overcast, but still. Then it’s been drizzling all day and now the wind has got up.

It looks utterly gorgeous. How soothing.

They've all been drinking water with lincospectin in it, so that's good. Sarah looooves it, Katie loathes it, but everyone has been sipping it down.

I think Mary has improved slightly. This afternoon she ate almost all her special treat (wet mash pellets with a tiny tin of corn kernels and a tiny tin of salmon). There are a few more days of treatment to go and a follow up appointment on the 10th.
