Ike's toe seems to be on the mend but I have another concern with him. The main flock was let out so I let him out with them for the first time. I noticed him breathing very hard yesterday, even with his neck stretching upward and pulsing out with every breath and making this dry sort of noise like he hasn't seen water in ages--the heat/humidity seems to be really getting to him after his bout with infection. He isn't drinking enough. DH used a syringe to try to put water in his mouth, but so much ran out, he thought Isaac was having trouble swallowing. The toe infection seems to be gone, but he is breathing so hard, I fear he'll drop dead from this awful humidity. We put him back up in the hospital cage with water and he's sharing Zane's fan, the only one around here that has good wind, but I'm quite concerned about him.
