Crappy update! Boeboe's had some eating problems lately :(

[rjisaterp]

Sounds like Boeboe is a challenge. Be patient and let Tincture of Time (best medicine in the world) work. Ice cream might be the way to go to help with the meds as other members in the forum use this to get their bullies meds into them.

I open up the probiotic capsules for Wally and sprinkle it on his food then mix it up real good. Have you tried that? I'm assuming the meds probably taste bitter so maybe you could stir in some broth to hide the bitter taste… Gosh I'm sorry you are having such a time w/her. It truly NEVER ends for you

Is it OK to open up Antibiotic capsules? I'm very green with pills, for myself I avoid them like the plague. She's cracked both capsules I've given her open, I think she swallowed most of the powder but some went on the floor I've been stressing a lot about that. At least I got her to take the cortisone in one sitting, she tried to spit them out, but I had managed to get them far back enough, so she couldn't I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to break the pill and mix with food since I can never be sure if Boeboe will even look at what I give her Just now I fed her some kibble with rice and mince... I don't know how she does it but she manages to pick out the mince and leave the rest.
I still have to give her another antibiotic capsule today, I'm planning on trying to hide it in a piece of chicken breast that's in the making right now... I went to get ice cream but the ice cream machine was broken just my kind of luck... lol.

Thank you Roger, she's a handful right now. Thankfully it's not forever, just have to survive this week and hope for the best

Well Petra until she is better, I think BoeBoes new Swedish name is "My" or rebellious woman.

Lol, she's got a lot of names, right now a few I only use in my head... I love her, she's my little teddy<3 but she's cheap these days

I got very proud of her tonight when I gave her the antibiotics, she ate it in a piece of chicken breast without even noticing so today we're done Miracles still happen, lol.

Boeboe!! [MENTION=7710]Petra[/MENTION] I guess you have already tried Peanut Butter. That is what worked for mine! They love it.

Ja, she wasn't interested but maybe she was just not in the mood for that at that specific moment... I will try it again Right now chicken breast has worked great, she's taken her pills now without issues for two whole days

Her face looks much better too

Hi [MENTION=7710]Petra[/MENTION] How's Boeboe doing? I just thought I would check.

 

[Petra]

Hi @Petra How's Boeboe doing? I just thought I would check.

Thanks Roger, she's doing great The cortisone she's been on for the hives makes her eat like a horse, so for now I've got no problems getting her to eat. She'll gobble down anything lol.

 

[rjisaterp]

Have you isolated the cause of her hives? At any rate, we are glad to hear she is doing better.

Ja... I think so... basically every year around this time one of them usually get hives I think it's from flea bites since we don't treat them for fleas during the winter. So it's my fault for not keeping up with the tropical treatment I just hate to put stuff on them if it's not needed... and I counted on our chickens to keep the fleas away this year but it seems it doesn't work that way. We got the tropical treatment for them all now so all should be fine
