The crook chook and me

I'm no affy weel today.
Think I might have caught the lurgy that's going around the schools. I had to will myself to stick it out until lunchtime and then again until home time on the promise of going straight to bed when I got home.

Not to be, I'm afraid.
On arrival at the house, a limping chook met me at the back door.
I hate to think that an animal is suffering so I made an evening appointment with our vet practice.

It turns out she has an infection, so that means that she's on a course of oral antibiotics for a week.
Not surprisingly the vet didn't attempt to administer the medicine but sent me off with the bottle and syringes and wishes of best of luck!

You have no idea how difficult it is to get a chicken to open its beak and swallow the medicine. Looks like I'm in for a fun week!

Off to bed now, to see if I can shake off the lurgy.
