Mrs Woo is on METRONIDAZOLE (FLAGYL ) this is the best cure possible for what she has .
I may now as a final effort increase the dosage as it can not KILL her .....
I may PTS her this weekend if no further sign of improvements . She maybe beyond healing .
Last effort on my part as can do no more for her .

Today , I PUT CAPT. CHAOS TO SLEEP . Blood poisoning . Never recovered. Gone but another memory left behind .
Very upsetting and will write more at a later time .
Mrs Woo will be PTS soon as well as she will not recover from her illness either.
Sad times at the house of Penelope and Red.

Bob I'm so sorry to hear about Captain Chaos {hug} What a bad time it is lately. My thoughts are with you, especially as you near the time for making a decision about Mrs Woo. How is she doing?

Sorry to read this sad post Bob. These critters can't half break our hearts. What wonderful lives you have given (and are giving) to your girls and boys. They couldn't have asked for anyone better to take such good care of them.

Oh Bob - what a terribly sad thing to happen. I am so sorry for you for the loss of the fabulous Captain Chaos.

Having not logged in for quite a while, I am reeling from reading of all the losses recently.

Take care

Hi all , I am feeling pretty bad at the moment .
Mrs Woo is pretty poor state . Having sad that , today to see her sun bathing next to the dogs and chilling out makes killing her even rougher.

Today she had . Sweet corn. Beans . Peas . sardines and tom sauce. Dog food . Cat food . Water by the litre. Put vasoline on the open wound to keep fly`s away , which she tries to eat . In a final bid have upped her meds by a bit. Cannot kill her....
Put the canvas down tonight to keep the sun away from the run . Light does filter through.
2 boys now for 30 odd hens . May try mixing one of the new boys slowly .
I have so many happy hens that come to me for attention . Goldie chats away on my hand . Litalen FLYS to the flat coop roof for her mealworms . Same hen will attack when on the nest . New hens from BHWT are so friendly that get confused to which hen is next to be spoiled , sure I fed one at least twice . Rocky comes for a massage , though lately her crop though full and baggy as normal is soft and not a problem. Desmond is just aloft of it all. Champ is calling for hens with a food treat which he gets off of me in between taking on the new boys three times his size .
Club needs claws cut , need help as a two person job. Spec is still broody and not giving it up (only one now ) . Pom Pom not broody but chills out on the nest and eggs .

Hi all , it was alright though she had wondered up to the long grass and was looking for bugs and a sun trap.
She wonders back to the kitchen when she has had enough and back into her cage , after a look at the dog bowls .
She is breaking my heart as so many times I have thought it is time to ring the vets for the last trip.
She is terminal , but I think another day of sunshine that she is enjoying will not harm her .
extra Metacam and meds so if she is in pain which I do not think she is it will be deadened. sad story and not want any chickens or birds to get this . Evil illness.
Add to the sick list a fledgling sparrow , eventually caught before the cat got it again , trip to the animal sanctuary probably tomorrow.
