I usually hand my cat and credit card over the counter and tell my vet, "Fix it", whatever "it" happens to be that visit. I feel so helpless. So I applaud you...no, a standing ovation is more like it...for applying your maternal instincts and quick thinking and common sense. What you did in those first few moments saved Kamen's life.<br /><br />You did everything right.Irish Zanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141641120850613328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-32444576067323181232012-01-05T07:59:39.331-08:002012-01-05T07:59:39.331-08:00I hadn't heard of "people's paste&quo...I hadn't heard of "people's paste" before either... thank you for posting it! <br /><br />I know well the heart-stopping, chest-squeezing fear (and hope) that nursing a bird can bring to one's self. I will think good thoughts for Kamen - the will to survive can be so strong!<br /><br />One small recommendation for the shark cage: the chicken wire is okay for temporary protection, but it's better for keeping chickens in/out - not so good for long-term protection against predators. Predators can easily chew the wire open (raccoons are famous for doing so). When you can, check out "hardware cloth" - much stronger/more resistant.

What a wonderful nurse you are to little Kamen. I read with care all the steps you took, especially the Peoples Paste, which is new to me. There have been no reports of bobcats in our area, but there have been coyote sightings apparently. <br />I understand how devastated you must have felt about the attack. Thank goodness you have brave warriors at the blue house.judy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-4595563567999122802012-01-03T02:39:24.921-08:002012-01-03T02:39:24.921-08:00WOW!

We have an irrepressible will to live, but we also have an irrepressible will for the ones we love to live. I am so glad to hear she is pulling through.

If chickens can have a "near death" experience like humans do, I suspect Kamen has "seen the light" and will live a super charged existence going forward! Congratulations to you and the family.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491985226861657728noreply@blogger.com
