Loving the herd life
Sorry I didn't respond earlier, life got really busy, but it's all good.
I gave Cleo her penicillin shot, she yiped and I forgot to push the plunger, so I did it again and got the medicine in. But she kept bleeding from her surgery site, which concerned me. Tuesday morning my son called me at work, said Cleo was just standing, panting and whining. He took her to the vet, "walk in" on the last day before the long weekend. It was so busy that the vet came out in the waiting room to examine Cleo. She'd managed to pull a stitch but it didn't need repair. He said she was in pain, and gave her a shot, and Rx (pain meds & antibiotic) to take home. She's been so much better since, apparently the Galliprant wasn't helping much.
Work's been crazy, nuff on that.
Our first frost is expected tomorrow evening/Saturday morning, and then the first hard freeze (20°) 24 hours later, Sunday morning. The chickens should be fine, I already have the rubber tub set up for water, and they have two roosts out of the wind and rain. My peas are still blooming, so I am going to try to rig some sort of cover to keep them from dying, not just yet, please!
I also covered the outside faucets, they freeze so easily. I got some styrofoam caps, will see how they do.
