Thanks DM I do hope it doesn't happen again but I shall have a google. My neighbour used to be a breeder so he might have some suggestions too.

Thanks I might give Flytes a call. I got the Johnsons today that DM suggests so when I've got some help at home I'll dust them all and do the eglu for good measure. Only just jetwashed the damn thing too!

They are lice not mites. Yuck. Now I need to find the right treatment and disinfect the eglu again.

Ivromectin or xeno 450? Both are spot on type treatments. Which is best please? I presume we ditch the eggs while treating.

What do I do about a vent glee please? Never heard of that before.

Not a prolapse. Ruled that one out. Bathed her again today and saw mites though, so now I need to work out what they are and how to treat them. Still noticed white discharge that looked like dry poo but wasn't

How would you go about learning? I have been faced with this a couple of times after fox attacks and feel terrible that I don't know what to do.

Hi all, I have hunted round the site but still have questions please. My old ex batt(Vidor) has just had a bath to clean up a very smelly bottom. I have noticed a horrible smell and white discharge which washed away easily, but when I let her back in the garden she prolapsed when trying to poo. The prolapse went straight back in. Otherwise she is healthier than she has ever been. Any ideas please? She does have a tendency to sit in the muck pile so I don't know if she has just been straining. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Olly I will call them tomorrow. The prolapse has gone back in but she's pecking herself I think . I'm on bloody jury service this week so I hope she will be ok a few more days.

One of my exbatts is under the weather. She's always been skinny and is bald around her bum and underneath which can be a healthy pink or bright red and sore looking. I bath her when I can and use vaseline/nappy cream (!) which seems to soothe. Tonight she lloks like she's got a prolapsed vent and is leaking straw coloured liquid as well as normal poo. She's eating and drinking, and laying daily. Any suggestions gratefully accepted please. Vicky

There should be a law against white trousers/skirts and black knickers, particularly thongs!

What a great idea for the poo tray! Thank you!

It's amazing around herbs! I used to wash the poo tray out over my herb bed and they doubled in size!

I stopped midwifery after my son was born. I had every intention of going back but I realised what it was doing to me and wasn't prepared to risk my family. It's been over a year and I still haven't cancelled my professional registration or union subs - it's hard after nearly 20 years!

Reikiranf and I are still good friends. I think she's still in touch with a few others.
