OMG @chickisoup
I just realized what your avatar means....
Yeah Yeah,.... I'm the one that bursts out laughter in the middle of the grocery store when I finally get a joke told the day before.

Pictures??? My father always loved Morgans, said they were the perfect ranch horse.Coffee for all! Nursing a new Morgan mare here that got bitten up yesterday by the herd...
The ones that came out of the skin on her hip looked different than the bum ones the skin ones were white round and looked like they had a brownish or gold spot on the front.
Is it possible for Tape worms to come out from inside the skin and not just the butt. I would take a pic of the hole in her hip but it is nasty so I wont. it is deep and gross.I can even see the cartilage on her hip and tail top.
How did you get that pic to hide if someone didnt want to see the gross?
I had to force feed her tonite before giving her the Amoxidrops Doc said not on empty stomach she looks bad another rough day! I have left the wound alone and just keep trying to let her sleep on the heating pad and offer food at all times in the medi-cage she is not eating it right now. DH suggested it has been hungry for so long that it may have a different feeling that tells it to eat. so I am going to try to keep her belly full with out messin with her too much. She pounces on the food when she is ready to eat and keeps her paws above her head like she is blocking the food so she can keep it herself. I think outside she had to fight for scraps. And she is a weakling.
See there is something about Culling your own livestock that you raise. You want to know it was done humanely with no mistakes of suffering.
Want a job done right ... Do it yourself.
I am still hoping for her to be a survivor! I think all the attention is making her not feel so good.
But the good news is
She is Still alive right now with a full belly and heating pad
I hope better dreams than I had last night!Can't get the experience out of my head.
Don't beat yourself up. Hindsight is 20/20.
I just wish one of my Ladies would learn to cook!
Lets make it a good day!
so far my list looks a bit like this
And still somehow find time to play with the Chicks!
Welcome!!!Just came across this thread and have to add my ramblings.
Every morning I jump on Backyard Chickens with my trusty cup-o-Joe next to me, clicking through threads gathering as much info on raising chickens as I possibly can. This has been my morning tradition since January!
I don't want to wake up and read or see whatever tragedies have unfolded in the news overnight, I just wanna sit here on a happy website sippin my coffee and enjoying the silence (until my kids wake up). So thank you, Backyard Chicken peeps, for making my morning routine a pleasant and informative one day after day
Oh no worries! And I apologize for bursting in...I didn't read the previous conversations until after I postedSorry!
We've had a lot of trouble with cocci here. We start w/ medicated chick crumbles, and then if one starts looking the slightest bit sickly, we start them on Corid. We've had a few batches where we've had to treat w/ Corid every two weeks.
