I told you that Georgie, one of my oldoriginal chickens had bumblefoot? We have had three weekly visits to the vet before the vet decided to operate. All through out the three weeks I had to administer an antibiotic, once daily.
Georgie was my favourite, huge, very cuddly chicken. Unfortunately, after her op this last Friday she sadly passed away.
The vet said the operation was a success, and she came round quite well after the anaesthetic, flapped her wings and died.
By all accounts you have no success with local anaesthetics on chickens, so it had to be a general. We feel that she had a weak heart as, if you remember all four chickens I got originally were very poorly from the beginning and all had/have scarred tissue on their lungs.
Now I am left with one, very naughty Bea, who is no doubt missing her partner in crime and needless to say she is really fluffed off with the three newbies that she barely tolerates.
Looking forward to more happy chicken days in the future.
