They are mostly Chinese medicine herbs- see below.Oh how amazing the herbs make such a difference! What kind of herbs are they? I’m so glad to hear she is back to eatingyou get nice a plump for the beach, Penny, (but not too plump)!
I meant to reply right away with potential suggestion, I even asked my better half, sitting right next to me what he thought, but then I got distractedeven though my ideas probably were fruitless, I hate to think of Penny not eating!
They treat encephalitis which is basically an inflammation of the brain.
If we go back to Penny's original symptoms- it is most likely she suffered some sort of neurological issue with her little brain.
So when she takes the herbs, it keeps the inflammation at bay and she is able to do things like a normal chicken. Like she always has an appetite, but she just forgets to eat. When I give her the herbs she makes the connection that she is hungry and must go over to the food bowl to eat. crazy huh?
My vet wanted to give her something safe that she could take every day- so this is what we arrived at. I just didn't realize if she went off of them it reversed so quickly.
Other than that all of her vitals, bloodwork and x-rays are that of a completely normal soon to be 3 year old hen.
So Penny can do whatever she wants in my company as long as she keeps up her end of the bargain by eating and drinking
