The cold has taken its first victim from me. My poor penny. God rest her sweet soul. I don't know how we all deal with losing our feather babies. It doesn't get any easier. :(

What about fruit that smells a little fermented? Also, is it common for a fox to attack or try to prey on possums? I found one under my porch. Well 2 actually. One ran off and it seemed fine and the other has a big sore on it's back and it looked a little "runny" It was dark and all I had was a...

I didn't think they could have mold. I did a lot of research on it too when I first started raising them. I didn't know if it can be washed off or whatever. Some of the berries and things have mold on a lot of them what if I cut the moldy spots out?

Hi happy fellow chicken lovers! Got a quick question! I have a box of "outdated" produce from our local grocery store they agreed to give to me. I'm extremely careful what I give my chickens in the first place and I wash all produce in an organic apple cider vingegar soak before they ingest any...

I'm sorry for sounding so juvenile about it. I tend to really over think things. I do not intentionally overthink them it's just part of my OCD. Hopefully I will see a doctor soon to get put back on some medication for it. He didn't give any warning sign that he was going to scratch or bite. He...

Haha. Just had one of those too! Pregnancy scare! Whew. It was close. Maybe I should heed more precautions in my life in general. Haha. 2 months straight of pregnancy scares and a newfound phobia of rabies. I need to get a life. I wish the rain would end. At least long enough for me to clean my...

I was petting him and he just "grabbed" my hand hand with his mouth. Naturally I yanked my arm away and his tooth cut into my skin. Other than that he seems perfectly normal. Although his meow sounds a little hoarse now for some reason. I can only assume because he has been out in the rain for days.

I guess I am just worrying myself sick over this. Everyone thinks I am nuts. And I know it sounds nuts. As I have obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder with panic attacks and I have not been on medicine in about 2 years and I haven't really had any bad "episodes" until now. I am...

I didn't go get one. I do think I will go to the health department tomorrow. It's completely healed up and I'm afraid they will either A think I'm crazy or B report it and have animal control trap and kill the cat. :( I just don't want to die. Incubation period is 3 weeks for rabies in humans...

So I think I'm going to go get a rabies shot anyway tomorrow. It's been 2 weeks but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

What can I give him in the meantime for that? I am still a little frightened to handle him much since the bite. I know tractor supply has a lot of antibiotics for animals so what exactly would I use? I just been dosing him with tetra like I would the chickens. Haha. Obviously he isn't a chicken...

I am hoping he will stick around long enough for me to catch him. I'm sure he will never trust me again after but at least he won't die from rabies if I get him a shot. Came home from work and he's not here but he will be. Lol. He knows I put out extra treats for him late at night after dinner...

I have been giving him (the cat) tetracycline every few days in a little milk and water. I have looked everywhere online and it doesn't say anything about his eyes being any sign of rabies or anything like that. But I still worry about when he bit me 2 weeks ago. He still seems to be well...

Roosters are doing much better. Thankfully. Now if I could just figure out what to do with this cat and his eyes. He has good days and bad. The other day his little eyes were so swollen and mucousy he could barely hold them open to see his food bowl. If he wasn't still a little on the wild side...

I just typed a reply and it just disappeared. :( stupid I phone. It's like when it turns dark out my phone has a mind of its own. Anyway made chicken and rice for supper hoping it would help. Waiting on DH to come home from work to bury my rooster. Icant even dig a hole with boots on our dirt is...

Hi all! Bad news. :( I have a terrible cold or allergies or something. My throat feels like it is on fire and my nose is all stuffed up and my ears are all stopped up and I feel yucky. It's this dag on weather. It can't make up its mind. Now for the worse news...my Wyandotte rooster died early...

Oh I have health insurance but I haven't met my deductible so therefore everything comes out of pocket...and my insurance doesn't cover that anyway. Company health insurance is too expensive for them not to help pay for SOMETHING. I pay almost 400 a month out of my paycheck. That's a whole other...

Well it's day 4 and healing up nicely. Cat seems fine too. Had a lady that works at the vet look at it and I described it to her and all and she said it should be fine. Thank God. Just praying 6 more days go by and I will be in the clear if he is okay.

He's still here this Morning. He isn't acting weird or anything. He is just laying on the porch. I put out a carrier with food in it for him to try to trap him and give him a place out of the rain last night. He must have slept in it because there's his hair on the towel inside. I don't think he...

SOME BODY PLEASE ANSWER ME...IM FREAKING OUT just got bitten by that stray cat that has been hanging around. He has become quite love able but we were playing and he didn't mean to but it scared me so I ripped my hand away and his tooth cut me. What should I do? I don't wana call animal control...
