Re: Starting my diarySo 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. 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. Re: Starting my diaryAw Hilly I do hope Marilyn picks up bless her sending her lots of and to you

Re: Starting my diaryI'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:

Also my lost furries Charlie and Jasper Re: Starting my diaryThat'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. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."

Re: Starting my diaryHi ,they struggle through the winter to not see the sun in the summer.

Re: Starting my diarySo 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.

Re: Starting my diaryhi
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: 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.
Re: Starting my diaryHi ,most important ,hope you are ok . keep writing , to far away to be useful buta listen ear can take away some stress.
Tylan can be a magic cure or delay of the rainbow bridge. The girls look lovely and enjoying the extended life you have given . Bob Re: Starting my diaryAw Hilly so sorry to read you have have being having such a hard time I hope all will continue well with you, so glad you have posted. LOts of get well wishes to the lovelies Marge and Bonny.
