Rhapsody Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm going to try that aagin in a mo. I'm terrified of getting fluid in her lungs, she sounds awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 She just drank some water off a syringe then drank some out of a bowl, pecked at some food but didnt want it really. Chest sounds really rattly, I think she may have aspirated some of the fluid when I was clearing out her crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Oh bless her little heart. She is such a wonderful little character too. Come on Edge. Get well soon. Loads and loads of positive vibes coming your way, Rhapsody. Fingers crossed for your brave little soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Sorry to hear that the Edge is poorly Rhapsody. Shirley has suspected sour crop this week and the vet syringed her and they gave me powdered probiotic to add to her food. I don't have any left otherwise I would bring it over to you. Sorry. Try yoghurt and any fluid that she will take. Hope she is better soon. C x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Edge went to the vet and charmed everyone. She was a good girl and let the vet check her out thoroughly, he took her temp (it was low, and the thermometer up the jacksie made her pee all over the table) give her a mahooosive injection of Batyril and show me how to intubate her crop. She then wandered back into the cat box on her own as if to say "Right, I'm off home now". He gave me 10 days oral Baytril too. Got home and had a little think- low temp, bald ex-battery hen...? So I stuck her in the conservatory where its about 85 degrees. Guess what? She ate some food drank some water and gave me The Look that I've been missing, now she's having a nap and I think laying an egg. I'm sure its down to the waves of good feeling from the forum, so thank you all. I dont think she's out of danger but things look markedly better. Thank you from Edgie and me Rhapsody x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 She is bright and perky and eating her own bodyweight in probiotic yoghurt. Crop clearing normally, poo as it should be and making chickeny noises. I was really worried for her on Friday night, TBH I was ready to find a dead chook on Saturday morning.
