This morning's poop inspection in the roosting box showed well-formed, average sized poops. So I'll continue to assume the other hens do not have inflamed guts.
Thanks for pointing that out Bob. I'll get one of the ones on wheels instead. They're much more expensive but that makes sense when I consider how large the magnet is.
I don't think that's going to be possible, but she will be coming home after her chelation therapy concludes, which is in 2 days. So she doesn't have to be unhappy for much longer. And the important thing is that her kidneys are working again.
I've just had the evening chat with Dr Marika and Katie's enzymes are much improved from 1500+ (unreadable by the machine) to 1100, which is a huge improvement but still not good enough.
Katie did some 'normal' chicken poops this afternoon too, and that's wonderful news!
Sadly, she has to...
Yes, she's improving but unhappy. I'm looking forward to hearing about her enzymes and kidneys when Dr Marika calls again.
I thought there was a moment in the video when she appears to squeeze herself. Maybe that's from her gut hurting her.
That's an excellent idea. There's always someone on the beach with their metal detector. Next time I see someone I'll ask them how much to do the yard.
I'll do the magnet sweep up too.
I've just seen Katie and had a chat with the nurse. She has gained weight since commencing treatment. Her poops are improving, which is great news because we want her to be able to poop solids.
She's off her IV now! So that's good news too.
But she's rather unhappy and clearly still...
Well, Dr Mark's set up was pretty good but this new vet's clinic is really next level. 3 consulting rooms. Ample hospital boxes. Loads of equipment. I just hope they're not over capitalised because I want them to stay in business for a good long while!
