I know nothing about them but hopefully all will be well and she recovers quickly.

Re: Any vets on here?
When did she last lay?
If the vent is torn, they usually get an infection and pack up eating with the inevitable consequence. also watch for others pecking wound site. Personally I would say that if you think that if there is any issue, Neck it.

Re: Any vets on here?
Doesn't VT have some vetting background...?
Personally unless you're a bit attached to it (you did refer to it as a "she") I'd nurse it through to Thursday and stick it in the oven on Sunday! |

Re: Any vets on here?
She's inside, in an improvised run (boxes from the new Plasma) looking sorry for herself, ignoring us.
She's been dosed with Anusol - really! It shrinks the sorry swollen bum bits. At least she's warm and dry now, there's a hot water bottle under her inside a bubble-wrap envelope. Hopefully she'll survive the night. Oh, and she won't be getting "necked" or shoved in the oven. As Ed says, ten year olds have issues with eating pets. Pete.

It can be done quite well explaining free ranging animals have a better quality of life and as a result taste nicer.
