Gertie Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I had my hen Blackberry PTS today following 3 trips to the vet, antibiotics etc. She just never seemed to get much better, just a bit improved, then downhill again. The vet thought it was kinder as she was on a downward spiral. I'm very sad but I know I tried as hard as I could to get her well. The vet said we had done more to try to help her than anyone he had seen...obviously he hasn't seen the omlet forum!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
