Zane Made REAL Progress (New Pics Pg 99)!RIP Lorelei...

[MissPrissy]

You are in my thoughts and prayers, Cyn. I do hope he improves.

Thanks, Angie. I really wanted him to be my flock rooster. His temperament is just outstanding; cant beat his personality, either. I know I have his two little brothers in the nursery, but geez, it will be months before they're breeding age, and you just dont know what a rooster will turn out like, no matter who his parents are. Zane is already everthing I wanted for my girls. Just isn't fair.

Edited for stupid mistakes...

Give him some time. Injuries always take time to heal. Does UGA or GaTech have a poultry division or someone in the county extention office know someone that could help? Somebody somewhere has to be able to help without costing a fortune.

It has only been two weeks since he fell and less than that since he couldn't walk, so I guess more time is called for. I just want him to not be depressed. If he continues to eat and drink and interact with us, maybe he does need more time, is all. I have no idea who to ask. I don't want to ask someone for their time without expecting to pay-seems like a huge imposition- and I have little money to sink into one hurt rooster, much as I love him. If DH will call that local small time vet, maybe we can get him xrayed. If the vet says he's clueless about poultry, then not sure what to do. No way to drive him anywhere else.

It never hurts to ask and be very up front about the financial frustration. There are good people out there who will help if given the chance.

Most of us don't have a lot of money, but a lot of us have a little. Could we set up a fund for Zane to go to the vet?
I for one, would donate. Anyone else??????

Cyn, do you have a paypal account? That would be the easiest I think.

I just don't understand. If it was one of our children or human family members, it would have been to the doctor already. I put my entire check on my dog (and I have 12 dogs) when he had a problem last April. That meant my house/land payment and my utility/water payments had to wait and I also got a second job working nights from 8pm to 4am Friday and Saturday nights. Its only an express store, like a 7-eleven store, gas and junk food, but it helps pay the bills. I don't have a DH anymore so I don't have to ask anyone's permission but I do have to depend upon myself. I have not regretted spending that money and five days in another city/town w/my Slade, one bit. I was lucky to have one last adult child home to care for the other dogs and cats, while the neighbors watered, fed and gathered eggs from my RIR hens (I provided all feed). This roo is definately worth the time and expense but is suffering while he could be getting help. I am not too proud to beg for help when it comes to my animals or (now adult) children. I would offer payment plans, I would discuss any which way to get help and expert help asap. I just don't get it.

Absolutely not. We are not going there, although I appreciate the sentiment. If I wanted to pull money from my very limited savings, I could do that, but that would put me in a future bind for caring for the human family. People have different philosophies about spending money on animals' treatments. snowydiamonds, there is no paycheck. I am not comfortable with the turn this has taken, so please let's not go there.

Jess, you have a heart of gold, honey. (((hugs))) I do appreciate all your support and prayers for Zane.​

Please, snowydiamonds, let's not go there. We don't know what other people's situations are. I can assure you, 100%, that Cyn and her DH love their animals very much... I will defend that until I'm blue in the face, or kicked off this board, which ever comes first.
