they can survive frost bite- if he loses toes etc- this is emily, she was given to me by a fellow bycer that rescued her, lost lower leg and toes on the other foot- i don't know what he did as far as treating it when he got her
I am interested in growing fodder, does anyone know where I can get bulk wheat seed in the Tulsa area? Amazon has 10lbs for about $20 with free 2-day shipping, didn't know if that was a good deal or not though. Thanks for any help!
Okay so I had mentioned before I keep a fairly extensive First Aid / Vet Kit at the house for treatment of my animals.. Several have asked me to post pictures, but I needed to get everything consolidated into the three drawer container I designated for the purpose only to find, I had to cram everything into it, so I am going to have to find something a bit bigger but I will post pictures of what I have and an inventory list to give everybody an idea of what I keep around for emergencies or general care of my animals.. Mind you these are all things I used and use on a regular bases..It has taken several years to build my kit up and am always adding things that I find I need... Labeling and organizing the kit is very important for a number of reasons. First to keep track of what I have, to make sure I know what needs to be replaced and so when an emergency comes up I know where everything is and what I have... This has been important because I have had more then one emergency where time was of the essences and minutes counted on saving one of my animals lives, especially since I live out in the middle of no-where with the closest vet 30 mins away..
I am sure everyone has different things they keep in their first aid kit and would like to know what I could add to my kit.. Blue kote is one thing I keep meaning to get but every time I go to the store to get it they are out and I do not have any herbal medicines in there. If anyone has any questions of what any of the things I have in the kit are used for please ask. Hope this helps
