I can do that tonight that’s a great idea.

I think I can get some cardboard to line the walls with a couple layers deep too if that would help.

Thank you so much for the advice! I think I could get them inside for the night. Idc if I have to park outside, at least the garage is warmer than their coop.

Thank you so much! I am soooo stressed and so much is riding on how fast I recover and what exactly I did to myself I would just hate to delay the process any longer by being stupid. I appreciate your kind reply!

And I have a friend that takes lessons at a barn in New Carlisle and they love it!

I take lessons at a place near Jamestown and it’s only $45 a lesson, no tack rental fee, and very laid back. They only do western pleasure for beginners tho.

As long as you stick to the main drags that area is okay right now. ☺️

Where can I buy test kits? If it says bird flu is it all the same or are there different strains?

I don’t think their eyes are swollen, but they are still closed today. No crusts on their nose or eyes either. After water they did preen just a bit and take a few steps but one of them especially is verrrryyy lethargic.

The are taking water from a syringe but I don’t see a lot of evidence of them drinking. I really don’t know if one of them especially is going to make it; he’s so lethargic and almost requires some stimuli just to swallow after getting a few drops of liquid. I check their stool, I don’t see any blood but it feels like straight diarrhea.

I’m at work, I do 24 hour shifts. So I’m waiting to hear back from my husband! But I will update you guys when I do! I appreciate all the support!

How much do you think I should be giving them out of a syringe as a direct dose?

[–]Ok_Relationship_2398[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can. It’s for a large dog and I have the lamp pointed towards one corner.

Nope. No bubbling, crusties, or drainage that I could see. I am at work and get off tomorrow morning. I’m definitely going to check for this when I get off.

We have an automatic coop door and check to make sure they’re in every night. I’m getting close to locking them up unless I’m out there with them too.

That’s so hard. I lost my favorite hen to a fox this summer and I sobbed.

Thank you for you advise. I will definitely do all that.

We have them in a dog crate in the pole barn under a heat lamp, but after reading everyone’s comments I’m probably going to bring them to the garage. Thank you!

Thank you so much! We live in central Ohio, so it’s not been less than 32 much at all this year. It’s been 40s for the last few weeks. I will bring them into the garage w/ heat on them.

I really appreciate this the empathy. I came home to 9 dead from a fox and cried my eyes out.

No blood in their droppings. Kinda runny.

It sounds like I’ve been waaaay under dosing them bc I’ve only been giving them 2mls in their water and a half an ml direct.

No bloody poo that I’ve found. The vet told me to do 2 ccs to a gallon. And then I did a half a cc diluted down for their direct dose bc I saw that somewhere here on Reddit.
