Excellent article! The level of health care given to this little lady is exceptional. I hope she continues to get better and maybe a hormone implant could help extend her life.
We did it :) I procrastinated a little as I was a little unsure how her recovery was going to go, but things a re looking up! I have posted some updates.
Nice to see positive action and compassion to what some may consider a "hopeless" case.

Good on you mate. ?
Fabulous article! It has a wonderful balance of science, personal experience, and chicken love. Thank you for taking the time to write and share this, and for sharing the referenced. I, too, will be interested in hearing how she does long term.
Excellent article about something of which I was unaware. The details are all here including reference citations and videos. It was easy to follow and the author's reasoning which led to each decision is included so that we can understand the why.
I would love to see more articles of this quality. Well done.
