Last Update On Velvet (hen) (1 Viewer)

[Wingfrost]

Here’s part one and part two as I again, am too lazy to write all that down here.

So, Velvet had her checkup today with our normal Poultry Veterinarian and the news is both good and bad.
Bad news, Velvet doesn’t have impacted crop, or crop stasis, she instead has something wrong with her GI system, what exactly? We don’t know. It could be a number of things. Her crop never went back to normal and continues to fluctuate in size, which means it’s emptying, just somethings prohibiting it from emptying correctly. It would take a lot of tests to figure out exactly what it is and then treat, which costs a LOT of money for a chicken. We really just don’t have the funds to put possibly 1,000’s of dollars into that kind of thing (mind you we’ve already spent a lot for her three medication’s for her emergency visit).

Which brings me to the good news. She can still continue to live comfortably as she is. She eats, drinks, has tons of energy, etc… It’s just that unfortunately she’s not expected to live for as long as other chickens. It’s bittersweet but we shall give her all the love and treats for the remaining months/years we have with her.

On a lighter note, it was hilarious for our poultry vet to meet Velvet and see for herself how “spunky” she actually is. The emergency vet actually put in their notes that Velvet was very feisty during her visit with them.

I'm glad Velvet is still a fighter even when she isn't feeling her best

 

[Ahsoka]

It’s sad she won’t have as long, but it’s a totally reasonable choice. I’m sure she’ll be happy with you guys for the time she has left

 

[Myth]

Ah that velvet lol

Hope she enjoys whatever time she has left <3

 

[Moguri]

stay strong @velvet

It’s definitely reassuring to still see her with such high spirits despite it

Go Velvet! Spunkiness means she’ll have a great life regardless of it’s a bit shorter

animals are often way better than us humans to accept whatever fate they have and make the best out of their life, we can learn from them

that's great news, Wingsy! idk what a crop is, but I'm assuming it's like our bladder?

Totally agree tbh. I learned that when my kitty passed earlier this year. Somehow I really think she knew her time was coming and she spent her last week to the fullest.

Google best describes it:
The crop is an out-pocketing of the esophagus and is located just outside the body cavity in the neck region. Swallowed feed and water are stored in the crop until they are passed to the rest of the digestive tract.
