Unsecure chicken perches

Sorry havent been on have also had a ill canary which required feeding every half an hour, pip has been been back and forth to the vets at first she was having a bad moult but then she has had impacted crop we have managed to get it soft and smaller she has been on baytril and a anti fungal antibiotic. She has had runny poos all week she picks up and then goes down hill so the vet has decided tomorrow to take her in at 10.10 and either she can put her to sleep and put a tube down her throat and suction it out or of her crop being as its soft but suqidy or if they feel she needs it be put under and cut the crop and drain, i am dreading it i cant stand the thought of leaving her there for the day i hope she doesnt think we've left her there. They have said if they do cut her open they will a look to see whats causing it, i just can't wait till shes back home and well fingers crossed, i will keep you all updated, i will be waiting by the phone for the vets to ring

took pip in today she was put to under and had her crop washed out but they couldnet xray her as the machine was broke so at first they wanted to keep her in but i asked if i could bring her home and bring her back for her xrays. The vet said that would be fine, pip seemed well they have put her on a special diet of baby food mixed with veges and mash made in the blender every couple of hours, and medcines are baytril and lactalose and fybogel, the vet said she was very well behaved have to take her back thursday morning for her xray hoping they dont find anything too bad
