Thanks, Lozzy. She's still with us. I took her out briefly to visit with the girls. I thought it might perk her up a bit. It did, very, very briefly. She's trancing though & not really responding to much now.

I'm so sorry!

Good evening everyone

We had to leave very early this morning for the Drs & audiologists.
Morrigu was still soundly asleep so I made sure she had food & water & was out of any drafts. When we got home she was down.
I started antibiotics last night but she smells funky ~ not the usual healthy chicken smell~ & I suspect egg yolk peritonitis or salpingitis. Bit hard to know for sure as she hasn't come back on the lay after her moult. I can't feel an egg & her comb is purplish so it may be liver/kidneys/heart. Whatever it is there's no vet till Thursday & I don't think she will make it till then. I am keeping her warm & forcing liquids down her throat every so often but there's not much more I can do I don't think. Although she came with Aoefa she is a much older hen ~ just how old I'm not sure. She's always been so totally feral that cuddles have always been a rarity ~ but this is not ever how I like to get them.

Hahaha!! You're a crack up!

Bloody oath! I think you are right!

No-one says ‘crikey’ anymore. It’s a bit like ‘sacre bleu’ or ‘och ay the nu’!

So beautiful. I love when cats have that straight line down their nose with one color on each side. It looks so intentional if you know what I mean.

I love it too. It always reminds me of that Star Trek episode.

Aww, here's my little Stanze. An RSPCA rescue and lived to the ripe old age of about 18.

She was beautiful.

Awww, sweet Mal. Hubby was laughing at her "preening" you.

I was truly hen pecked that day and it was wonderful.

I'd love to have a cat with that sort of nature. She's such a darling.

My Tarot does the same thing, but she is a bit bigger.

Oh @Ribh I'm so sorry. She is irreplaceable.

Thank you. She went downhill super fast. We are doing our best for her but she's not a young hen.

Oh dear - I am sure she feels safe and comfortable and that is the most important thing.
