I am so sorry. You have tried so hard to make Romeo better. It really hurts when you try everything, and sometimes anything, to make a pet better and just can't do it. Stay close and keep him comfortable as long as you can. Susan in Conyers.

I am horribly sad today, Romeo is doing a down right spiral turn. Yep he's not doing good at all.. Last thing Peter and I did was give him a stool softener to help him try and pass whatever is blocking him. Well it didn't work, the red bubbly thing is back out, only it's got some blood clots and it looks like there's scabs or something on it. So I cleaned it best I could, I will give him a bath and soak it really good this evening if it stays out. As well as do the honey and prepartation H thing again hope that I can get it to go back in and stay in.
Well now each time I pick him up, he holds his head down and boom throws up. Well technically chickens don't throw up so I guess you can say the fluids in his crop is coming out.
It's horribly thick stuff.. He was looking and acting soooo good but only to spiral down for the worst. He was doing sooo good that even his smelly poop didn't smell anymore, in fact it actually went solid on me, not semi completely solid. It was light green.
AND to top everything off, the egg and yogurt mixture that I have been giving him. THE YOGURT has been expired since Aug 9th. YEH, I didnt think to check the expiration date on it because I just bought it. So I guess you can say I'm helping him lose his battle. This is HORRIBLE. First I torture him with all this tube feeding abuse only to discover I'm feeding him expired stuff.
Why don't these stores have a computer system that will alert them when something is about to expire because they aren't doing a good job watching it.
