@Anansi Want to talk about door installation disaster-- I wanted a screen door for the man door on my coop. It want originally a coop so has poor ventilation and NO windows. I rent so can't go cutting holes in the building.
I go to HD and get a cheep already screened unfinished wood door. I bring it home and it doesn't fit. Because it's about a foot to tall! LOL So I end up cutting it down, reinstalling the screen, putting reinforments on the back and try to hang it again. The opening is so crooked the door isn't hung close to straight. It has to open in because the other door opens out, and I don't think the screen door would go the other way anyway.
There are so many gaps around the door it's not funny. But, they got their screen door!View attachment 1435589

I love the look of this door!
Wherever you go next, it should come with you.

I'll try the wetted feed, though I think we are going to cull her today when I get back from my test. I'm pretty sure she has ascites, and there is no cure. No maggots in sight, and the wound is dry-but she keeps getting her diarrhea all over it.

I am sorry Ruby. Sometimes that is the best thing to do.

:hugs It still stinks though.
 
HELP!! My FBCM Missy was breathing heavy last night. She seemed a little phlegmy but I thought with the sudden high humidity she could just be hot and moist.
Today she didn’t come down when I let everyone out and I feared the worst. (This is the girl I nursed through 2 wounds in my sugar for wounds thread.)
I went in and she sounds ok but is open mouth breathing and has her tail down. I took her in and tried to look in her throat. (Near impossible) It looked a little phlegmy but I really couldn’t see good. (For not feeling well she sure is strong) I gave her some ACV right down the gullet. Followed by some Colloidal Silver and a few drops of Nutri Drench.
I took her back to the coop and watched. She’s still gaping and generally just standing there. Then—

She sorta coughed and grossness.... I thought it was a string of mucus.

I think it’s a gapeworm! Thoughts anyone? Mind you I picked it off her face. Dropped it 2x then rinsed it in the sink. If it were mucus I would think it would have broken.

I have Valbazen on hand. Will that work or do I need safeguard? Is it gapeworm? I was all excited last week when I picked up a log in the run and found a bunch of worms. I’m sure she ate one. That’s about the time frame for eggs to become adults.

I’m so worried!

I'm laughing my butt off at these door stories but only because I can relate. Last house had yard sale doors so they had to be trimmed to even think about fitting and then they were so tight you had to fight to get in or out. This house despite it being metal still isn't square, it is older than me so no suprise. All my front door locks are upside down and don't even get me started on the screen door omg! :lau
