Yesterday we had a frosty day and therefore I inspected Dandelion’s eyes again.\u00a0 Once again she had a crusty right eye. She also seems to be sneezing a little more and I can hear a bit of a whisper in her breathing. It seems that the respiratory disease is always lurking under the surface and as soon as we have frosty weather it resurfaces in Dandelion.<\/p>\n

I am aware that I can’t treat forever but I have also read that it doesn’t go away untreated and that tylan can be used at intervals as a preventative so I have decided that to be on the safe side I will treat again for five days.<\/p>\n

So for the next five days I will be putting tylan in the water again and making dishes of mash with tylan water to get as much into the girls as possible. I will also add the ground up poultry zest to help with the moult. Whenever I make mash at the moment I add the zest to try to give the girls a boost.<\/p>\n

Dandelion has a crusty right eye again<\/p><\/div>\n

Freckles seems to have come through this but Dandelion is the weakest of the girls and seems the most susceptible to this reoccurring. It always seems to be her right eye. I just hope that I can keep treating whenever this arises and get her safely through to spring. I feel sure that once we get into better weather the girls will come through this.<\/p>\n

I am keeping everything crossed and hoping that we won’t have too many more frosts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
