Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 hey rhapsody, how's the edge doing? I think we need an update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye&Ant Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Poet, with Helen, we had to syring the baytril down her throat for a week and wasn't told anything about it getting into her lungs Anyway after a few struggles, she let me do this everyday twice a day as long as it was followed by a grape. Its been a few months since and she is as right as rain. The other way is try filling up a tomato or grapes for Mariana to take it down with?

Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 we tried putting some on 1/2 a grape and she dropped it before eating it so we then just dripped it into her beak. It was follwed by about 6 or 7 grapes as a reward for being a good girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whats he plan for Mariana's medicine tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Have pm'd you with my Baytril method, Poet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 thanks medusa, we dosed her this morning before i read your pm but it just so happens we did something very similar! Tore off a corner of bread and dripped the baytril on it til it soaked in. Also put a cple of grapes in the bowl and a tiny bit of jam on the bread to disguise any horrible taste. She ate it all so I just hope enough of the medicine got into her system. If only they knew it was for their own good She seems fine again this morning so I hope we're over the hump.

Guest Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 thankfully she's been fine all week, we kept up with the bread soaked in baytril, topped with a dollop of yoghurt. We took her for a follow up visit today, we told the vet how well she'd been, eating, drinking, normal poos and she laid a normal egg today (which we had to throw away obviously). He stuck a thermometer up her bum, said she still had a slight temperature but if she appears well then he think there's nothing to worry about. It all took less than 5 minutes to tell us what we already suspected and charged us £12.93 for the privilige That averages out at £155.16 per hour. Nice work if you can get it!

Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 thanks Vicki, it was. I was worried the journey to the vets might finish her off due to the stress but thank god we took her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
