I'm so sorry....
I'm really feeling for you right now...I just received two boxes of shipped birds, and out of 11 birds, only one was alive when I opened the boxes....
Quote: Nope. USPS is the only option. There's a new FB group called "chicken train" where we are trying to get people from all over the US to sign on to transport birds short distances, to cut down on the need for USPS shipping. Thanks for the condolences. My one little survivor pullet is still doing well.
What's going on with your dogs?? With three of them sick, and one needing a transfusion...was it rat bait?? Hope they're doing better now!

....... I took my 12 year old newfie for a walk, i have known for some time he is getting old and has the signs of a heart condition that effects newfies in their old age. he started coughing and panting a making a kind of whinny cry, Just kind of an emotional day.

Hey Carolyn,
I hope that your vet put your Newfie on heart meds. Don't let ANYONE tell you that your 12 year old is 'too old' to do your best to keep him as healthy as you can. One of my Mals lived to be, just shy, of 16 years and that is unheard of in Mals (anything over 10 is a blessing). Your Newfie could live to be that old too.
If you are interested, a lot of dog shows have heart clinics (with Cardio Specialists). It cost $25 and is WELL worth it. You can't even walk through the door, of their practice, for under $60 - $100. If you are interested, PM me and I will look up what shows have heart clinics.
As an example, my vet said that one of my girls had a heart issue. I disagreed and said she had pneumonia. I got the antibiotics, for the pneumonia, and when she was better, took her to a heart clinic. Guess what?? Her heart was so good that the Cardiologist filled out her OFA (http://www.offa.org/ ) paperwork right then and made me copies of his findings to give to my vet. It's now in her chart so that the new vets stop saying she has a heart issue (when it's the lungs). It is such a pain to train up the new vets!!
