Well, actually yesterday too. I took her yesterday and had her exrayed. She sounded like Darth Vader, the poor thing. Well, between the lungs, heart and liver, it's suppose to have an hourglass shape with air sacks on both sides. Well, Ruby has no hourglass shape and is super full of fluid. She got two injections and the vet gave me some Tylan powder to mix in her water. She's seperated and in the house. Anyway, she's not drinking much so I bought the injectable Tylan. I "chickened" out to do it myself so the vet very kindly told me to bring her in and she's show me how to do it. So, she turned Ruby onto her back and Ruby decided that, that would be a good time to poop!!! It shot straight out and went all over the vet's lab coat!!!!!!!!
Cost of two vet visits: $249.00
Ruby projectile pooping on vet: Priceless
Anyway, please say a little prayer for Ruby that the Tylan will help and she'll get better. Most would have culled her a long time ago. She doesn't even lay anymore. But I bought her as a pet and if it were one of my dogs, I'd do the same for them so why not my pet chicken!
