Karen & co. Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Sprite one of my rescue girls has been rather quiet lately, she used to rush up behind you and peck legs trousers skirts or fingers She stopped laying a few months ago, but is now beautifully feathered but quiet, today OH took her to the vets for me as I was at a funeral, as I was worried about her being slow out of the eglu for the last few mornings, and the vet said she has a large tumour on her reproductive tract OH is a real sweetie as he brought her home because he wouldn't let them put her down without me being there At the moment she is wandering around the garden slowly in the sun, having a little rest and then another wander Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chili pepper Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Sorry to hear about Sprite. My Dot had a tumour and died a couple of weeks ago too. At least they had a chance to feel the sun on their backs and the wind in their feathers even if only for a short time. RIP dear Sprite.

Karen & co. Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 RIP dear Sprite. That's really sweetchili pepper, I'm sorry to hear about Dot Sprite is still very much alive at the moment, she seems well in herself, still eating and drinking, and enjoying the sunshine, she is so much slower than she was, and doesn't peck us anymore I couldn't make the decision to have her put to sleep while she is as she is, but when and if she starts to go down hill then I'll take her, I couldn't bear her to suffer Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments, I'll pop some photos of her on here, as her feathers although they took the longest to regrow are by far the most beautiful Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chili pepper Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 OMG I'm so sorry karen I really shouldn't read forum and type replies while sorting out boys arguements over X-box at the same time Hope Sprite is feeling better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Oh Karen, sorry to hear about Sprite's diagnosis. Marigold had a tumour. I kept her going until the day she stopped eating, then decided it was her time. A tough decision, but I don't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
