Burns, Stomach Bugs, and Bladder Infections, Oh My!
We have had quite an eventful few days! It all started Sunday night when Kris was fixing some dinner. E stuck her fingers under the eye on the stove. Thankfully, Kris was right there and pulled them out quickly, but not without burning 2 of her fingers. It's a pretty bad burn, blistered immediately...she was crying, I was holding back the tears. She was so brave and eventually allowed us to hold her hand in a cup of ice water. And later allowed us to bandage them up. She really has been a trooper through cleanings and band-aid changes. I hate it when one of my chickens gets really hurt!
On Monday I was talking to a good friend on the phone, saying how thankful I was that none of us had experienced the stomach bug this season. Hmmmm...I think the stomach bugs were laughing at me. That night we woke up to sounds of C throwing up in his bed. That was a long night to say the least, but Kris was so good and did most of the hard work! Thankfully, it seems to have only been a 24 hour bug and so far the rest of us have escaped it. I really do hate it when one of my chickens is sick!
We've been wondering about M for awhile now...she's been having some issues, let's say. And in honor of her privacy, I won't go in to great detail. So I finally took her into the dr. yesterday and all indicators point to a bladder infection! Poor thing...those are NOT fun...yes, I speak from experience. But not to be outdone by any of her siblings, she too has been a trooper! Have I said how much I hate it when one of my chickens is sick or hurt?! I really do.
On a lighter note, E got the cutest hair cut over the weekend...have a look-see...
