Ye these groups are really great for those that re Ye these groups are really great for those that really can not get hold of a Vet. I have learned alot from them as well BUT wrongful advice get be really deadly, these 2 points, I have personal experience from. Sour Crop: I listen to this advice and it went weeks, weeks that could have bought us time to treat her correctly. Poppis sour crop stemed from an Ecoli infection, but when we discoverd that infection was the cause it has done to much damage. Eye issues: as well as recently that I know this thats why Shan-Yu could get a treatment in time, but looking back. About 6 months before Vanessas diagnosis she had a time where she was squinted and shutting her eye. Like newbie I was then I went to these groups and listen to that advice. Im confident that this was her first glaucoma symtom. Know some people have reasonable distance to go to a Vet. Drivning 2-3h to a good Vet is nothing if you truley care for your bird. If you dont have the decency to drive the bird or spend the money. Dont let it suffer. #chickens #silkiechickens #backyardchickens #silkies

Why do we not get more homestead cats when we have Why do we not get more homestead cats when we have a rat issue? Cause like all of our animals here we think of their best. Nico is an amazing homestead cat and was not made for an apartment. He is turning 10 this year so he is not young anymore, he has never got along with other cats and he constantly picks fights with the neighbourhood cats. There for in his best interest we will not get another cat as long he is with us. #Nicothekittehofdoom #cat #homesteadcat #cats

TREATING GLAUCOMA What type of medication is Vanes TREATING GLAUCOMA What type of medication is Vanessa actually on? Standard treating dogs with glaucoma is the drops timolol, which has a betablocking effect so the pressure in the high do not get that high. With a small animal like a chicken that absorbs medications in a diffrent way this betablocking effect can be harmful. The best studies is actually the drops Brinzolamide (brand name Azopt). Azopt (brinzolamide) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. In the eye, an enzyme called Carbonic anhydrase helps produce aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye). Brinzolamide blocks this enzyme in the ciliary body. This leads to: ↓ Production of aqueous humor ↓ Intraocular pressure (IOP) 👉 Lowering intraocular pressure is the key way to slow the progression of glaucoma, because high pressure damages the optic nerve. Vanessa get Brinzolamide drops 3x a day. With Vanessa we noticed that these drops where not enough. So we opted adding the Latanoprost agent (brand name Xalatan). Most likley Vanessa is the only chicken in the world that have used these drops. So when we added them the first time, she was under supervision, cause it have never been tested on birds. Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog. It increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway This leads to: ↑ Fluid drainage from the eye ↓ Intraocular pressure (IOP) 👉 Unlike some other glaucoma drugs, it does not reduce fluid production — it improves fluid outflow. With the years we have been able to lower the Latanoprost dose. Latanoprost has best effect taken right before bedtime and this is exactly what she get. #Vanessa #blindchicken #silkiechicken #silkies #chicken
I have never been a fan of chicken feeders! But wh I have never been a fan of chicken feeders! But why really? 🫒they are pretty useless in a small flock 🫒you should never serve more what they eat in a day. With risk for roadents. 🫒 I clean both the feed bowls and the water containers daily after close up. Having a feeder would make this hard! (Not oyster and grit bowls). A feeder and waterer should atleast be cleaned 1 a week. 🫒i only give them what they eat in a day, this way less waste and the feed stays fresher. Instead I have turned to dog bowls. One heavy one (makes it hard for them to scratch in thr bowl) and one with a hanger (makes it impossible for them to tip it over!) #Chickencare #chickens #silkiechicken #silkies
