Well, I don't like to eat dandelions. Actually there is not much I do like about dandelions. lol
We drained Flopsy again today and that will be the last time for now. There seems to be some residue still in there, but I cannot get it without the possibility of injury. She is in much better shape that way, and we have wiped the area well with Betadine to stave off infection. But I have to say, she was off by herself and did not come over for treats today and that was a first. She also wouldn't eat for us while we had her in a quiet place for the treatment. So I don't hold out much hope for this little one. Can't think of anything else I can do for her. Just keep an eye on her now.
No one is picking on her, which is a relief. My chickens are not aggressive, but I have seen them peck at a sick chicken. They are leaving Flopsy alone and don't mind her hanging out with them. Maybe they sense she is not sick in a way that will effect them. IDK.
