Shylock's new wife Enid is very ill and is in hospital at the vets as
we speak. She seems unable to eat or drink. and has to be
re-hydrated, x-rayed and blood-tested. The vet thinks it's possible
that she's maybe ingested some metal, like a nail or staple from the
soil (earth) as geese do sometimes like to nibble soil.

Purrs on the way for healing purrs for Enid. Birds (not just geese) do
indeed grieve for their mates.

I heard from the vet's surgery this evening that Enid is still with us which
is better than I thought as I wasn't very hopeful yesterday.

She's is on a drip which has re-hydrated her and she is now a bit brighter,
apparently, and has had antibiotics. She's had "a little walk around" and
has actually managed to drink for herself which she was too weak to do
yesterday. She has not eaten yet, although she has "played around" with
some food.
Her bloodwork has been done and sent away to a lab, and she was x-rayed
today but I shan't know the result until tomorrow as the vet that is looking
after her wasn't working this afternoon.

So, she has improved a little, enough to drink properly, your purrs must
have kept her alive as I was expecting a phone call to say she'd died
overnight.
I shan't know her prognosis until the results of the bloodwork and x-ray
come back. The big question is "Why has she suddenly not been able to eat
and drink and can anything be done about it?"
Maybe she got a bacterial infection somehow, if so the antibiotics should
sort her out now she's improving.
Why do I always feel it's my fault if my animals/birds get ill? Enid is
kept in exactly the same way as Shylock & his first wife, Honk - and she
lived to be 21.
Please continue to purr for Enid. She was so weak when I picked her up to
take her to TED yesterday that she couldn't cope with the trauma of me
catching her, and fainted. I thought she was dead and I'd killed her by
picking her up. She is very shy with me, still.
She's not out of the woods yet as it all depends on what the underlying
problem is.
Thanks for your purrs and prayers.

If she 's still with us there's still hope. Reving up the purr motors, if
the power of the purr can help you, surley it can help Enid as well. How's
Shylock doing?

Continuing to pray and purr for sweet Enid. Didn't realize geese are so
sensitive. Seems a lot of birds mate for life?

Its still pouring rain here, we even lit the fire. So round the fire purrs
will be directed to Enid.

I'm really a little surprised some birds live so long, since it is so hard
to treat anything internal that might go wrong with them.

I do it too. I don't know. We are mothering them I guess and think we should
be able to prevent anything. Or else we are control freaks. Not sure which
eg

Enid is
kept in exactly the same way as Shylock & his first wife, Honk - and she

Purrs continuing for Ms. Enid -- hope she'll recover well and quickly!
You're a good goose-mom, Christina.

How's
Shylock doing?

Shouting all day :-( and bereft.
My neighbours are very good fortunately and never complain at my crowing
cockerels and it's unlikely that Shylock's screeching will be a problem
either as I tolerate their screaming youngster who sometimes keeps me awake
in the night as their house is attached to mine.
