Well it lasted the night (during the night it started standing on both
feet,
it sleeps standing up, all the time day and night, except if I entice it
to
drink some.
This morning and several times throughout the day it took a few sips of
sugarwater from a teaspoon
I used tweezers this morning to pick a handful of dead maggots off of its
skin. The skin on the affected rump area appears dry and should heal up
ok.
It did some poop while I's outside doing that and a few wee bits at other
times
This late-afternoon it decided to settle down as in "sit-down" to sleep
for
the night
This was difficult in the plastic bowl I had it in so swapped it for a wad
of newspaper on the bathroom floor, although since then it's decided it
wants to stand up to sleep.....make up your mind "Lucky"
Oh, "Lucky" really is, when it, from time to time, opens its eyes and
looks
around I see that it *IS NOT* blind in one eye after all. Yesterday
evening
only the right eye ever opened however today it can look with both
It has *Excellent* balance skills though and several times I have gently
lifted the bowl or wad of newspapers, and moved it and it wobbles but
retains balance, so a good sign there
I notice the medicine I used is actually now 2 years PAST the recommended
use-by date expiry, although I've always kept it in the fridge
For dogs the spray can be used upto every 3 days (in areas of high Tick
pest
presence). It's permitted to be used as a total dunk, excluding eyes and
nostrils, for cats dogs and birds
My current worry is that the hen has only had a few sips of water from a
teaspoon. Today got upto 30*C and although my bathroom-laundry is the
coolest room of the house, it still "ain't half hot, Mum !"
Late in the afternoon I set a fan to blow through the bathroom door to
stir
up the air some in there, although the large window's been open all the
time
If it starts drinking any real amount then I'd be able to give it some
decent food and bring it back into condition quickly
This update approx 10 pm WA time Wed night.
cheerio
