Brava continues to ail. This morning I gave her another Probios bolus and B vitamin shot, and then got Rick to look her over. She was grinding her teeth, so he gave her a shot of Banamine. She isn't running a temp, but her guts were quiet - too quiet. Rick says she looks and acts like a cow with hardware disease. We will continue with supportive care and hope for the best.
I have two big "off-campus events" to share with you, but they are photo- (and therefore time-) intensive and I don't have a lot of time right now with company here. Stay tuned!
That's it for now from . . .

Ugh. In a sad coincidence I walked in from doing chores tonight and said "and then there were 9" to Tim. Horrible rain here and the chickens were hanging out in the horse stalls and T-Bone must have stepped on one of the brown and black fuzzy footed old hens. I am so sad.
Do you have the Lawson books? If not, they are a great reference to keep on hand. Your ewe doesn't sound good :-/.
I hope Brava comes around soon. I think not knowing what is going on is worse than treating for something you know. Good luck.
I'm sorry to hear about Brava not doing so well. Hardware disease stinks because of the limits on what you can do. Of course being married to a vet may give you a leg up on that process..........lets hope that isn't the trouble! Good luck with her!
I am sorry about your chicken - I've learned through these blogs that chickens are NOT just chickens, they are beautiful birds!
I hope for the best for Brava.
