Sick baby, air in crop and when pressed she throws up whatever

[speckledhen]

That is wonderful news! Yogurt will help her the rest of her life, all those probiotics. To get her to eat it in the future, you could mix in some starter crumble or cook some plain oatmeal and cool it off with that. I'd continue her special treatment for a couple more days right now. I'm so glad she seems better today!

Oh she is getting special attention and love. I honestly think If I had not expelled the air and whatever else was in that balloon crop before it got too bad, we would have lost her. It really I think had just started gettting bad. It is funny how God makes you check on things like minutes after you checked the first time......and you find something different. I am soooooo glad that GOD bangs me on the head from time to time to make me take a second look!

I believe you caught it right at the beginning. That seems to be the key. And some get critical quickly, like my poor Velvet did, so it was too late for her. The other one, who probably got sour crop from eating what Velvet did, has recovered from that, though there seems to be another issue with Ivy, probably internal laying.

Honestly, it never ends but I look at it this way..............I am learning! As long as i glean something out of the experience and better yet if something does not die for me to learn the lesson GOOD! My kids and I (and my DH) are learning so much so fast but man it is fun! We are going to a show this weekend and I sure did not want her to expire while I was gone. It would be like I left her to die! I know softie at heart here!

Sorry to hear about your Velvet and I hope Ivy gets better, maybe she has a monstrous egg she is trying to spit out....poor thing!

Thanks again for the support! makes me feel like I am doing something right lol!

She made it she made it, My baby is back in the brooder with the others. I cannot believe I brought her through this. DH was ready to put her out of her misery and I would not let him.

I am so happy that she is better!! Nice job!

 

[Fudgie]

Thanks steffpeck, I really owe it all to the man upstairs! He had control and sent me to the right people on here to find out what to do. Thanks everyone!

YAY!!! So glad for you (and her)

Man, every time I feel sick and start to vomit, I'll remember your DH. "I'll put her out of her misery!"

 

[Fudgie]

yeah, why do you think I never tell him I am sick! I just tough it out and go on my merry way! Vomit quietly! LOL
