:frow Fox is still here and since the dog is out of commission, also have a coon trying to break into my shelters. Everyone is doing fine and i'm getting orders for hatching eggs and live day old chicks. I'll be candling today to see what those in the bator look like. Last check I had 130 viable eggs and my first order is for 70 day olds.

I am sorry to hear Todd is out of commission. Is he going to be ok? :fl

Good to hear the birds are doing well and that you have lots in the bator.

Those coons can be a royal pain. Spring is rough with all the predators having young to raise. It makes them quite bold.
:barnie

He found something (we suspect metal) that he impaled his right rear inner thigh on. It was deep and full of fur. Vet couldn't get all the fur out. So she closed him up and put him on two different antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. Poor thing has been confined to the house for 6 days already and going stir crazy.

That sounds like he may have been giving chase to something and sure missed on a landing. Holy moly!
I am really glad he will be ok. I would have been totally freaked out finding such an injury.
:eek:

Poor Tod!

It is good to hear he is on the mend
 
Good morning friends! Missed you all.
I’m back now for the rest of the summer.
DD made it to Cali.
Next on the to-do list is to help her find a gastroenterologist in her area to help her manage her Chrohns. Biggest issue is finding one that does infusions either in their office or somewhere near her location so she doesn’t have to drive to UCLA every six weeks and lose a whole day of work.

@rjohns39 , so sorry to hear about Todd’s injury.
Cooper is also in a cone of shame and going stir crazy as well.

Took him to be neutered Friday and the long and short of it is: yay! they found his missing testicle! But it took a bit of searching.

He has one site where the normal neuter takes place,
But another, 5 inch incision in his abdomen from the big search for the hidden one.

Keeping him “down” has been a struggle since he’s a maniac to begin with.

He’ll be in the cone for a minimum of fourteen days they said, so we have a long ways to go still. I am worried that at some point he’ll figure out a way to get out of it, so I’ve so far been staying on top of him.

Has @Redhead Rae had her baby yet?
