I cant believe I missed this. So sorry to hear she's unwell.

[The Dogmother]

Ooops, I nearly forgot!

 

I examined Sadie this lunchtime and her tummy seems to have stabilised and isn't getting any fuller. She's acting normally for an old matron of her age and is pottering around the garden. So she's OK for the near future at least.

 

Phew!

[Mrs Frugal]

Oh bless her. Well done Clare. I hope she continues to recover well.

Good news Clare. What a great chicken mum you are

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Good news . Hope she keeps on being perky!

[Paola]

That is fantastic news

[Cooks]

That's it Sadie, keep strong my lovely! Well done Clare

[WitchHazel]

Go Sadie!

[Christian]

Great news Claret. Hope she is back to her old self soon

[Jules.]

Good news

[The Dogmother]

Thanks guys. I don't think that the problem will go away; she has some sort of cancer that will kill her eventually. I just want to make sure that her last days are comfortable and as enjoyable as possible; I am keeping a close weather eye on her and will make sure that she doesn't suffer at all.

 

I will tell her that you're all rooting for her.

[The Dogmother]

Well, the inevitable has happened and Sadie's tummy has filled up again and it won't be long before she starts to suffer. I have had an email chat with Clive (the vet) and he agrees that to drain her again will only delay the inevitable and that it's better to put her to sleep now while she is relatively 'happy' than to let her get stressed and even more poorly. Keeping her alive for much longer would be for purely selfish reasons - we've had longer with her than we though we would, so that has been a bonus.

 

I am popping in to the vets tomorrow to drop off some used syringes, so will get an appointment for as soon as they have a slot.

Oh Claret that is such a shame

 

I was so pleased when she had improved - it all looked so good too.

 

Im so sorry

[Ain't Nobody Here]

So sorry to hear that . You're right though, better to let her go before her life gets miserable.

[The Dogmother]

Thanks Guys - I was so pleased that she rallied and remained stable for so long. I was hoping that we'd beaten it, but thinking logically, the main problem - almost certainly cancer of some sort - won't have gone away, we could only treat the symptoms.

Thinking of you Clare. Sadie's had the best love and care any chicken could hope for. xx

[Cooks]

[The Dogmother]

*deep breath*

 

OK, just booked the appointment - 6.20pm tonight

 

I shall take her back to rest in the garden with her old friends who have passed away.

[Laura & CTB]

Oh so sorry Clare - at least you'll be able to give her a lovely day.

Will be thinking of you.

[WitchHazel]

Clare, I;m so sorry to hear about this.

 

Good luck tonight,
