Far out! Good work getting her to take her pills. I can hear Shad saying crush them and wrap them in soggy bread. Might be easier? You're a legend though, adding a joke about your specs!When the tyre hits the Gravel & Everything flies Apart.
I took Medh to the vet.
The vet gave us medications: a liquid to be syringed & a packet of horse tablets.
Easier than medicating a cat, she assured me demonstrating tossing a horse tablet down a chicken throat was easy~peasy. Hmmmm... I have cats...
So home we came with some trepidation because the truth is I have never medicated a chicken before. Very, very rarely have I ever had to do a cat. Their chicken wormer goes in their water. I am strictly hands off when it comes to medications ~ but, hey, it looked doable.
Do you have any idea how far a chicken can spit a horse tablet?
I looked for it for a good 5 minutes!
The 1st time it took me 1/2 an hour to get that tablet down a chicken throat. This afternoon we managed to get it all swallowed in 2!
Oh, & then we had to do the liquid stuff.
Apart from being terrified of aspirating the poor bird, she was completely terrified & I was in mortal terror of breaking her neck trying to get her to hold still. Yes, I had her wrapped in a towel. Yep, well tucked under my arm. No Idea how she could still turn into a squirming snake & do double somersaults in my arms.
She's obviously feeling a bit better. She is harder to catch & making her displeasure more known. I'm a nervous wreck but it has higlighted one thing: I need to get my glasses prescription changed.
If I didn't laugh, I'd cry. Keeping chickens requires quite a zen mindset.
