Jul. 31st, 2017 09:13 pmSo, it turns out that all those urinary tract problems Penelope was having are secondary problems related to a cervical tumor that ruptured her uterine horn and is pressing against the urinary bladder and causing peritonitis, and we were giving her antibiotics which cleared everything up temporarily and we gave her this stuff they use when doing abortions on livestock so that she'd pass all that gunk and goop out of her uterus. We stopped giving her antibiotics because the plan was to get a culture and see if they were becoming antibiotic resistant. And, yes, I know, this is why you spay your pets but we don't usually spay goats. I remember learning why we don't bother but I can't remember. We also can't really x-ray her because the biggest things we typically work on are swans and coyotes.
She did regurgitate and Walker didn't like Penelope so Taylor was saying it could be murder most foul.
But I mean she's in an enclosure with plenty of grass and Queen Anne's lace to nosh on. And she wasn't looking good that morning so it wasn't like we made a decision to do exploratory surgery days before and could fast her.
Tansy, which interestingly comes from a word meaning deathless, is mildly poisonous to goats and very poisonous to other livestock and unsurprisingly poisonous in high amounts to humans as well.
I'd imagine most plants that share names with antagonists in The War of the Flowers are toxic, although I'd imagine poppies have killed more people than most other poisonous plants combined and Poppy's one of the most genuinely nice of the aristocrats in that book.
They're like humans in that regard. We can eat onions and chocolate and grapes and nuts.
As for everyone else, we have gulls now, the flycatcher may or may not still be with us, the chimney swifts are somehow still alive, there are a few turtles in enrichment, many of the raccoons are outside, and I spent a good part of the day making food and then I was roped, no pun intended, into moving tree trunks out of the goat enclosure because we're building a new shed for Gallop and his hypothetical new friend.
Taylor was making lemon-limeade for the raccoons and freezing it in ice and throwing lemons and limes in their food and she said they're going to hate us.
One of the chickens I cut up for the raccoons had an egg inside of it. First the yolk squirted out of its behind and then we found the smashed up shell. Taylor doesn't like cutting them up because she has chickens of her own so guess who got to deal with that part? The answer is me! Also Michael, who told me that the meat cleaver is not the greatest of tools for cutting up bone. Also, it was dark in the freezer and I didn't see the small chicks so I got an adolescent.
Melissa brought her pet veiled chameleon Vera.
Jack wants fried pickles to be served at his funeral because he likes them and wants everyone else to enjoy them too.
Jacob said Primrose is the worst pun. I'm not sure what the context was but it can't be any more groanworthy than this joke someone told at the performance of Romeo and Juliet: what are Romeo and Juliet's least favorite fruit? Cant-elope!
burning question: Do you find the Montagues or the Capulets more sympathetic? Or would taking a side be missing the point of Romeo and Juliet?
