We&#8217;re really glad we decided to take her sneezing seriously and take her to the vet, because she has some serious issues going on. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8164\/7101049537_2c13f2537c.jpg\" alt=\"ol\" \/><br \/>\nOlly has had her share of issues in the past. She was surrendered to the vet when her owners didn&#8217;t want to pay for her medical care. She had such a serious respiratory infection that it took 8 weeks and several medications for her to fight her way back to health. She has always been prone to respiratory infections because of that, and she&#8217;s had a few over the years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7102\/6954979594_5e29642345.jpg\" alt=\"today\" \/><br \/>\nUnfortunately she also has fluid on her abdomen, which could be a recurrence of her other health issues: internal egg laying. She had her oviduct removed over a year ago and over 20 yolks removed from her abdomen. But she still has her ovary, so it&#8217;s possible she is laying internally again. The vet took some cultures and slides and we should know more in a week. Meanwhile she&#8217;s on antibiotics to help, and as you can see, she is back in the yard noshing on bugs and grass.<\/p>\n<p>Olly just seemed to have a little sneeze, so I&#8217;m really glad I listened to my instinct and took her in to see the vet. Sometimes a minor issue can be serious with pets, so it&#8217;s best to be sure and have them checked out. Michelle, one of our favorite vet techs, carried Olly around the office with her. And we also saw a goose, cockatoo, parrot, cockatiel, iguana and some canaries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8145\/6954979348_eaa94e68ce.jpg\" alt=\"back\" \/><br \/>\nBack on the home front, Lester and Danny girl took a swim while Miles and Lucky looked on.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5197\/7100694917_a3fbbb2252.jpg\" alt=\"sweet\" \/><br \/>\nAnd sweet Simon took a nap in my arms while we sat on the lawn with the ducks and clucks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8163\/6954980260_acbf85930f.jpg\" alt=\"some\" \/><br \/>\nSometimes he would hear a birdy and wake up for a minute.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7052\/7101050435_3279759ac9.jpg\" alt=\"look\" \/><br \/>\nHe&#8217;d look around and follow them through the trees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7038\/6954980422_dec56559b1.jpg\" alt=\"drift\" \/><br \/>\nAnd then he&#8217;d drift off, back to dreamland.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping you&#8217;re having a peaceful weekend like Simon. <\/p>\n<p>Quacks and clucks,<\/p>\n<p>Tiff<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_like\"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/ducksandclucks.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/21\/strike-a-pose-theres-nothing-to-it-vogue\/\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olly strikes a pose at the vet&#8217;s office today.
