Last night I went and got some needles at TSC (and some Chicken food too)…
this reply below is from last night in the chat again, in response to thecomments about how the “draining” won’t cure her or “save” her given the likelihood it’s ascites and that Sexlinks are a very, very short lifespan bird. She is currently 2.5 years old & this breed is supposedly 3-4 years maximum life. Well….
Wednesday is oldest daughters birthday (16th).
If she can have reduced pressure for a while before I have to put her to sleep, great. If I need to put her to sleep BEFORE the birthday….. UGH! (Heavy sigh) …. I will.
if she gives a hint to hanging around for “x months” great. I read enough of that thread (which refers to post #42) to know that this situation is a mirror to the cancer situation my Mom had in 2006. Drained her lungs several time between June and December- when she passed away in my arms.
…..
so I didn’t have the energy/guts last night to try to drain her. She seemed comfy and relaxed on the towel nest under the heat lamp.
this morning as I got up and around she was still chillin’ & a few more poop spots.
I headed off to my dr. Appointment.. will be checking on her when I get home after lunchtime.
