Problems walking, weak leg, curling toes.

She definitely perked up this afternoon. I gave another dose of charcoal just in case it wasn’t a coincidence. She was super active and was fluffing up her nest box (she laid an egg) and was preening herself.

I told hubby to pick up generic 2% miconazole cream and he picked up Micatin :: sigh :: . He said he could go back into town tomorrow to get the generic at another store. But I'd rather not wait that long if you guys think this is ok. I tried searching the ingredients (the non active ones) to find out if they were safe and didn't get very far.

I have never been so happy to see a semi solid stinky poop lol.

I saw you mentioned feeding organic feed, just take a good look at the vitamin levels in the feed, they can have a challenge getting enough vitamins in the feed and still be certified organic.

I'll definitely take a look into that. Thanks!


Well she had another more watery poop before bed (though not as bad as the last few days), so I think the activated charcoal is helping, but more temporary. It definitely helped her feel better from how she was feeling this morning. I think I'll give her a dose of AC first thing tomorrow morning and then I'll dose the anti fungal cream when my hubby gets back from town with it.

She near about gave me a heart attack this evening though, I walked into the room and there was bright red blood on the puppy pads! I couldn't see where it was coming from at first and I thought it was internal bleeding. Turns out she's been feeling so decent she's been doing a bunch of preening and opened up a scab from one of her wounds from the dog attack. There hadn't been a scab when I stopped putting ointment on it back around the beginning of Nov, but I had noticed it a few days ago. That added some excitement to my evening I didn't need lol. I got it all cleaned up and slapped antibiotic ointment on it and put her to bed (lights out) so she doesn't pick at it. I tried bandaging it, but that really restricted her movement and I wanted to her to be able to move out of her poop areas at night.



She keeps me on my toes!

She had another half decent poop overnight.


She's bright this morning and not panting like yesterday. So a big improvement there. Crop first thing wasn't empty (it was down fairly significantly from bedtime though), but also wasn't soft and squishy like it has been. It was fairly hard, but moldable. Maybe what's called a doughy crop? It felt like it was all grit and shavings. I gave her a tablespoon of water & activated charcoal with a little bit of grain to make it more enticing and I massaged the crop a little after that.

The plan for today is to continue to push/encourage water and start the Miconazole cream later once we're 4 hrs away from the activated charcoal dose. Also continuing with the vit b2, away from the activated charcoal.
