I need some advice on how to handle the loss of one of my turkeys
I've raised 2 turkeys together for many years, they've been together their whole lives and are very attached to eachother.
Unfortunatly one is sick and i'd be suprised if he made it through the night. I brought him to the vet and hes on medication but he is declining.
My second turkey seems to be mourning. I let him outside today and he kept calling and calling.
Should I let him see his friends body (if he doesnt pull through)
The vet diagnosed him with airsacculitis and coccidiosis (keep in mind im not too sure the vet was right about the airsacculitis part)
But for now i'll sit with him in his quarantine pen. Hopefully he'll have a quiet peaceful night.
