Sorry. I hope it works for you. I mixed it in the water and left it till they drank it up.
It did work.
 
My chuckle for the day was this morning. I had one of the mature roosters in the shop so DH could check his eye. He (the rooster not DH) got into it with one of the other roosters and suffered an injury to his left eye. We treated it until he acted as though it was doing better then I eased off on the ABT salve and eye drops. The eye looked normal although he has been keeping his eye closed a lot. Couldn't see a foreign body or injury to the eye. The only sign of a problem was that his lower eyelid was swollen. Today I looked at his eye and it looked cloudy so I brought him in for Dr. Daddy to look at. News wasn't good. He thinks he's lost the sight in that eye. But while we were managing rooster Barney, one of the 8 week old roosters in the pen in the hobby room decided that he was going to crow.

Shocked the devil out of me. I've never had a cockerel crow that young but the little booger croaked out an admirable first crow 5 times in a row. Kinda sounded like somebody was trying to strangle a cock pheasant while it was crowing but the sound was unmistakable.

That was my laugh for the day.

Weather is cooler today but still pleasant. I'm stuck inside at the moment being a domestic Goddess. I need for it to be sunny and warm so we can get the tractor out so I can clean out the big coop and move the youngsters out.

Ain't gonna happen this weekend, that's for certain.:rant

Cap I had mohs done on the tip of my nose, some years ago. It looked very small but, for over a year I kept telling my family doctor that it was a sore that didn't heal. And ignored it. Finally I raised a big stink and a new doctor referred me to a dermatologist that also does mohs, etc. surgery.

Had the biopsy and thought I was fine. Till the nurse called and said it was Basal cell cancer.

'Had two rounds, where the doctor took biopsy around larger area, the second round and he said all clear. It wasn't my favorite thing to do in life BUT, the doctor was very good.
He took the time to explain every single step or procedure, what it would feel or smell like and that calmed me totally. I don't like surprises.

He said woman usually take the surgery much better than man. I could hear men in the adjacent rooms carrying on - the women not at all. I think we are better tolerating pain because we grew up with our"monthly visitor." I used to have horrible periods.

Anyway I looked like a train wreck and I had to cover the area, can't remember for how long before I could just apply sunblock and go outside. I always wore a wide brimmed hat (even before all this) and people would make fun of me. "Tough nuggets" I would tell them.

The woman on the senior bus are the biggers gossips . I never told them what it was. A female driver bluntly asked if I had something removed. I looked her in the eye and said"Maybe I had something put on." that goofed her up and she shut up.


Another old codger turned and looked at my nose and said "OOh you have a boo boo!? That still cracks me up. But,I managed show her my best death look, and she didn't make another sound.

When I was out shopping or in restaurants, other women came up to me to say they had the same procedure. I didn't mind at all - that was comforting not gossip.I was surprised how many women had the same thing.

I came back to the doctor I think a couple days after surgery and he checked that things were okay. Then I think I came back in a month, and afterwards maybe 6 mos.From then on I go in once a year and he checks it and gives me a body scan of all blotches and stuff and tells me they are non-cancerous.

Medicare etc. will not pay to have non cancerous removed, unless they are in a location where they frequently are irritated or bleeding from being rubbed by clothing or accidentally nicked while shaving. He said those are just skin tags.

I hope you get a doctor like mine. I am a total coward honestly but, have to admit I am completely at ease with him. He also answers any questions or concerns and doesn't hurry me.

PS it does take a longer while than I thought to look normal again. He had to do a skin graft (taking some skin from closer to my eye) to cover the larger surgical opening. At first one nostril looked to be smaller than the other but, eventually they evened out.

This was years ago and I admit every day, at least once I get out my magnifying mirror and check out anything I see. That is my personality though. Also tweeze my eye brows if one single hair is out of line. And while I'm at it also check teeth.

If you want or need to know more - just ask. Oh I am 70.9 yrs. old, I'm not certain but I think my surgery was 3-4 years ago.

WRT Skin Tags Same policy here... I have removed my own when I didnt have any insurance. fingernail clippers dipped in Alcahol.... ONly problem on some of them is they need to be stretched out a bit. I would be up to asking the doc to stretch it out a bit then cutting it off myself. Now I have bleeding he can take care of the rest.... and get paid. :gig:gig
