just out of curiosity when you say
"The girl that came down with noticeable symptoms today sounds sooooo bad. I have done everything I always do (which clears it up lickity split)"
What do you usually do?
Just thinking for future reference.

Well, I bring them in the house to seperate and keep them warmer than usual. Then they get Terramyacin and (another one...can't remember the name, here at work, will REPLACE it when I get home.) and a vitamin electrolyte supplement in their water. Then for food they get warm mashed layer pellets, canned cat food (50-50 ratio) and yogurt as a treat. Their intensive care ward gets cleaned and disinfected twice a day. Those that are really bad get a double dose of antibiotics in their water. Will get you the measurements for each item added to the water when I get home also. I go through it so much that I no longer measure...just pour. Wink

Girl number one passed yesterday. Didn't have the heart to talk about it till now. My favorite araucana is still in the house under treatment. Get the tissues ready...if I lose her I will be gutted. Sad
