So FINALLY the vets agreed to x-ray Marilyn. She came through the anaesthetic well.

The bad news - she has calcium deposits on her internal organs.
Prognosis - grim. Cannot reverse damage, but have dr-ugs to help slow future deposits - cannot get her to take. {cry}

They took fluid from her stomach - no infection!

Since the vets on Tuesday, she has not eaten (other than a few grapes and the odd worm) and is standing around.

This morning, she wouldn't even take a grape. Although she always responds when I call her name. See how she is at lunchtime.

I've never heard of that. A quick google suggests it's linked to kidney problems and whilst can't be cured, I found the following:

Maybe give a regular supply of ACV to her?

How is she now anyway?

That's an interesting link Karen, I've often wondered if it's healthy for cockerels and hens that arent laying to eat layers pellets. Perhaps there are times they would be better off with growers pellets and a pot of oystershell, especially in winter.
Dear little Marilyn, what a lovely life she's had with you Hilier, you couldnt have cared for her more than you have.

Marilyn's final photo shoot (after having a bath Saturday afternoon) - she went downhill very quickly this weekend, not eating, not moving and yesterday morning, when OH got them up, she just fell over. Couldn't let her suffer any longer {cry} {cry}

So sorry to hear the very sad news about Marilyn. It's heartbreaking when we lose them, but the sadness is the price we pay for the joy they bring us. {hug}

hi

Had an awful 6 months! I took Marilyn dying very hard, which was weeks after Dotty's prolapse - so things didn't settle down. Then at lunchtime a few weeks later, I found Penny dead in the run with Bonny and Marge cuddled up to her.

Marge has been very poorly, vet gave her Tylan injection and I have been putting some in their water - touch wood, she seems to have got better and is a little dream:

Bonny has also been very poorly, vet thought eyp - injection of Tylan and powder in her water too. She is back to her normal self and is running round - another little angel, here she is sunbathing:

Image

Queenie, Texas, Specs (another 9 week broody) and Little Mo - are all fine.

To top it all off - I had a big C scare - all is now well for the time being.
