Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I have used Amoxicillin- 250mg twice a day for 7 days for Sharpie when she had her retained egg issue.

I also gave her 1/2 a low dose aspirin at night for 5 days, for any further issues with inflammation.

I must be missing something? Why would you give her antibiotics? I may have missed it, but I thought she managed to get the egg out. The worry with giving antibiotics if they are not needed is they may be less effective when you do need them.
Sorry if I have misunderstood the situation.

Any wild animal can bite. With this one it isn't venomous. Still means if it does bite, go clean and disinfect the area.

If you get bit by a snake, always go see a physician. You need an antibiotic. They carry the nastiest bacteria in the planet in their mouths.

They are also likely to lose a tooth or two in your meat. I had an embedded tooth for a LONG time before I realized what it was and dug it out.
My king snake often was too excited at feeding time and bit me.

I saw you got good advice on that thread. How is she doing?

I think her eye is pretty messed up, but she's doing fine other than that. We've been cleaning it but my Dad says it looks cut to him. She's keeping it mostly shut right now, poor thing.

Do any of you know whether chooks will eat Salisbury steak, with macaroni and cheese and potatoes? TV dinners sounded good at the time, but I can’t finish my plate

I thought I had the nastiest bacteria in my stomach.

I gave my rooster the steak meal. Everyone got some. But it’s all I can do to make him shut up. He will stand on the back porch and crow and knock on the door until he gets my attention. The neighbors think it’s funny.
