Further news.

The patient is back with it comrades and is eating and drinking as though there is no tomorrow. The problem is that it's crop is looking big again. Well if it stuffs itself again then there will be nothing else for it but to neck it! I have left the neck ruff on and it seems to be working. i.e. she or the others cannot get to the wound to peck at it. well we will see!
I am still laughing about Michael and the bus yesterday, in fact I was laughing at five o'clock this morning and then I couldn't get back to sleep!
Tonight it is W.I. committee which means I am going to miss the Liverpool V Chelsea match on tv. We enjoyed the Man U. game last night. We like the look on Fergersons face when they lose!

We went to Market Raisen

This morning we went to market raisen and we couldn't resist taking photos of the Labour Ward. All the baby lambs are just being born.

The latest from emergency ward ten!

The patient looked so good this morning that I decided to put her in with the others when I let them out. She went straight for the food and everyone just ignored her. I have left the collar on and apart from a few desultary pecks at the collar from Tina who always wants to know whats going on anyway, she seems to have blended back in with the crowd o.k.
The test will be when they go to bed tonight. Will there be room on the perch for a collar?

4th day on the surgical ward

Today's bulletin is more of the same i'm afraid. I'm still very surprised that she has survived the surgery and is more chirpy than she has been for weeks. The wound is not looking too good as I don't have any antibiotics so I won't count my chickens before they are hatched. ( no pun intended) She has been sick again and it's bright green although she hasn't eaten anything of that colour. It's a bit like humans and carrots!
The neck collar was a stroke of genius on my part. She hates it but it has kept her away from the chest area whilst still allowing her to eat etc.
I am only feeding her mush so that it will go through the crop.

she doesn't like it!

I have fashioned a collar to try to stop the patient from pecking her wound. Oh she doesn't like it one little bit.
