scarlettohara Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 As she is a bit miserable and fluffed up, as she has laid a couple of softies this week so was worried about peritonitis. He said her abdomen is fine and she has no respiratory symptoms, I thought her crop was a bit full this am but he wasn't concerned. He has chickens (you can see them in the garden) and he said if he suspects peritonitis with his he gives them a long-lasting penicillen injection which won't do any harm if she perks up tomorrow. So that is what she had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlettohara Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 She's quieter and still a bit fluffy but she joined in and even pecked my Mum's puppy - always a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think we all feel worse and the end of the day. She sounds a spirited sort so I hope another good night's sleep sets her right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Whatever she needs she will get - I'll give her some nutridrops tomorrow, I think with ex-batts you have to be a bit 'whatever will be will be' sort of thing - does that make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
