debbiedoobs Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I've just noticed that my black silkie has a swollen comb, she is completely fine in herself though! She has always had a frequent cherp. She does it mainly when drinking, but this past week or so so has been doin it over and over. Will try and get her in at the vets tomorrow but in really concerned after trying to investigate it online! People seem to recommend culling the entire flock! Can't bare to think that, I adore my silkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead68 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Don't cull them!!! How did you get on at the vet's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbiedoobs Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 No i havent culled them. God i would hate to have to do that. I've spoken to the vet and got an appointment for fri. Vet didn't seem too concerned and thought it could be a secondary infection. She isn't any worse and the lump isnt any bigger so will get her checked over and hopefully she'll be fine.

debbiedoobs Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Vet says not to worry as she looks healthy, looks bright eyed, still eating and drinking etc. She thinks she might just havea narrowing of her wind pipe or something. Thankfully she's still ok and that's all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
