Ok so 1am and a huge pile of bloody puke later I am totally freaked out.

Total food refusal, even chicken and rice refused. That was earlier this evening.

Now she is moving in slow motion like she is in a lot of pain.

Emergency vet thinks she will be ok until regular vet opens.....I am not so sure.

I am sitting up with her. Any southward turn and we are going to the emergency clinic.

I agree with you. Sounds like the emergency vet doesn't want to deal with it. I had a kennel for years - never had one with bloody vomit. That would freak me out badly.

It did kind of frustrate me. Don't be an emergency vet if you don't want to deal with emergencies.

She is still the same.....at least on the outside.
:confused:

5.5 hours til the regular vet opens. :barnie
 
@21hens-incharge, I hope Tilly starts feeling better!

@Chickassan happy anniversary.

Look what we have this morning. It’s pretty but very annoying.

Ash was murdered yesterday afternoon by a hawk. I had the day off so I went over to let the chickens out. I went inside to check the sd card for the trail cam and when I came back out a hawk had killed ash. Everyone but William was missing. The neighbor guy heard me yelling and came over to help look for them. We walked all through the woods and found nothing. He went to check his woods and the ravine. While he was gone Nibbler came out from under a truck. When I got back from getting the girls Derek had found 5 more that came from the woods. Several more followed leaving only Damon missing. We search the woods for about 1/2 an hour and as we were giving up and heading back to the coop my nephew yelled that Damon had come back. IDK if she was in the woods too, or if she was hiding somewhere by the coop, but as it got dark they all headed back to the coop. So everyone is alive & safe except Ash (as of last night. I'm going at lunch to check on everyone). We buried her w the others we lost this year. Idgaf if the hawk was hungry and just doing what animals do, I hope that hawk dies. After I'd scooped their poop and changed the water I closed the door to the coop b/c it was getting cold and I wanted to keep the heat in. Based on the feather spread Ash tried to escape, but wasn't able to. IDK if I'd left the door open if she'd have been able to go in there and hide or if the hawk would have followed her (and possibly the others). My kids are devastated & I feel horrible. Ash was one of our favorites. When I talked to the neighbor guy (in between my sobbing) he said the guy across from him has chickens too and a fox keeps killing them. I assume that's the fox I saw on the camera. I told him about the coyote and the raccoons I've been seeing on the cam. Typically I don't leave them out alone, or if I do it's not for very long. I was inside for maybe 20 minutes. Never would I have expected this to happen. I won't be letting them out again this fall & if I do I'm going to stay outside the entire time, but I don't plan on letting them out since it's snowing now.
