Bumping this up as a reminder :::::::::

update on the little jersey that came inand came down with snuffles 2weeks after coming here .

Sadley she was putdown due to the pasturellavirus invading her lungs . WhenPasturella decides to grab a good hold nomatter what you attempt to treatwith sadley sometimes will haveno effect . The little girl was onBaytrill, It had no direct effect onstopping the virus from spreading, so once Again I imploreeveryone to think seriously about Quatenteening allnew rabbits and animals .

Thanks for listening.

I had an issue with this yesterday. At worksomeone found a dove on the ground, so of course it was brought to me.I examined it for broken bones and found none, but her vent was verydirty and shecannont sit up straight. Because it was gettingrather coldIset it up with some food and water in abox and then remebered that I shouldn't have touched it cause I have acockatiel at home! (That's what I get for being a softie).

Anyways, I drove to my parents house after work and took a shower,borrowed some clothes and then went home to my babies. Today when Ihandle the dove I'll remember to wear my lab coat and gloves! (I workin a lab).

Unfortunally, no one can take her home for the weekend so I may have torelease her at the end of my shift, I can't take the risk of infectingmy birds by caring for her. But I'll keep bugging my coworkers to takeher home.

 

Karissa I hate tosound nasty hon but that Bird needsto be turned over to the CDC ,with the West Nile Virus andsuch going around all sick ordead birds need to be examined . Please call theCDC for removal and testing ofthis bird.

Don't worry, I finally got the security guard tocall the local park district. They came and got her and she had abroken leg that I overlooked (I told them I'm not a vet). I had aproblem because I'm techicanly not allowed to make phone calls aboutthe facility because I am a contractor and not a government employee (Ihate government rules). But I finally conviced someone who was allowedto call to get some help for the bird I felt so sorry forher.

Well Otis has a nice comfy spot all set up in my room.

I never really thought about it. When Christa & Hopicame home they met Apollo right off. Misty & Stormy I waitedlike two days. Koda & Norman I introduced right away as well. Ithank my lucky stars that all of them were healthy and no one wassick.

After hearing so many stories of rabbits being sick and gettingother rabbits sick I've decided it would be best to keep Otis separatefor a little bit. Plus I get to spend lots of time with him.

Thank you for this thread, I think it's going to help a lot of people.

I manage to miss a few posts so it's nice to see such an informative one bumped up for those of us who do miss things.

Gypsy, this certainly was and is an excellent idea in creating this thread.
