He certainly will!! :love: I'm waiting for the day when his little pinny crest starts to show through, it shouldn't be more than 4-5 days now. :p I first saw Bailee when he was 10 days old, and he had pin feathers showing on his wings and a tiny little pinny crest.

I just got a call from the vet with the results from the poo samples i took in on Monday. Cookie and Bailee HAVE got something wrong with them, there is a high number of gram negative bacteria and yeasts so i have to go pick up some antibiotics for them today. First i need to get onto mum though, cause it's not cheap and i don't have money on me right now.

I have to say i'm a little scared, the vet started the conversation with "are they still with us?". :eek: He said that Cookie and Bailee need to be dosed twice a day, so i can give it to them directly once a day, and medicate the water for the other dose. Snickers will get the meds from Cookie and Bailee, and the vet said they shouldn't affect him badly. He's probably got the same diseases Cookie and Bailee have, so it's just as important for him to get the medication.

Hopefully everyone will come out of this ok, i'm glad i took the poop samples in when i did because it sounds like it can just kill them unexpectedly if left untreated.

The vet didn't give me a name for what they have, just that there are lots of gram negative bacteria (which are the bad sort, gram positive bacteria is the normal good sort) and yeasts in their poops.
