Thanks, friends. Yes, it's no fun, but I have a request for help in to the doctor. He has assured me there are things we can do for nausea, headaches, etc. I don't think there is anything he can do about the bags. :(

I have to admit, Penny, this is not as bad as what you went through. Not even a little. But, it is more of a permanent state of being for me -- there is no end date for these meds--so, I will need to get some help. It's a new way of life for me. 3 years to life is a long time to take a drug that makes you sick. It's all good though. I know he will prescribe something for me.

I had a problem with Coccidiosis In Jan/Feb, but luckily did not lose anyone. Queen Bee ended up in sick bay for a long time, and she is the one that went back out a little lethargic, so it was just too easy for Mad to sneak up on her and get her before Pippi noticed. :lau I didn't end up using the saddle because the feathers are actually coming back in now. That surprised me. It seems a little early.

Anyway, did Kimala treat her birds? Did she notice it too late? I will say the treatment is a lot of work and costly too. All new medicated water every day. For me that is 10 watering spots. And then try to keep them away from mud puddles, which is how I think it happened this year. We just had too darn much rain! I kept throwing straw over any puddles. That's why we built a completely dry outdoor enclosure for them. It will be used during Jan/Feb if we have a repeat of this last year. Meantime, it's a place they can come outside before I get out there to let them out if they want to. It's 10x15, so plenty big for the 12 I have now. Not sure about when I get 3 more integrated, which is my goal this year.

That's too bad. Feel bad for her. Must be why she didn't get to the coccidiosis in time. It has to be treated right away. And then it has to be retreated in 10 days. I actually treated 3 times. I did have two really sick birds that went into sick bay, but all were treated. If one has it, they all do. I hope to never have to deal with that again.
