i wonder if anyone has a photo of a simple membrane repair with vetglue. the two raw edges being glued at intervals? if you do, can i use it in a presentation?...
Alternative methods have come up on several animal & vet newsgroups I was wondering if you had written up or compiled your experience with the honey from the...
I've been reading this It just seams to me you need the tools to see what is going on like x-ray and ultrasound or other equipment to see if you have a torn...
Carol, Since you are only getting clear liquid when you lance it, that means you're not in the right area. The abscess must be farther up the leg. Once you...

So, your opinion is that it IS actually an abscess rather than an injury that I exacerbate each time I poke and prod? To find the actual abscess, am I to just...
I lost one in a flight cage--I released everyone else and he decided not to leave I guess. I have no idea where he was, but he finally showed up very thirsty...
I think it's an abscess that was probably caused by an injury. Bite wounds from another bat are frequently the cause of an abscess like this. Blood mixed with...

No, I haven't found anything other than what I see there at the ankle. It does encircle the entire ankle, though, which is probably not visible in the photos....
I have had a female BBB for 4 months that came in with shredded wings. Yesterday I noticed that she looked red at her thumb joints so I examined her a bit and...

Hi, if possible engage a winged compagnion calling, so you get a hint by detector. Otherwise wait near a bowl of mealworms in the evening. Well the basics. If...

I am looking for ways to effectively produce mealworms for bats and birds. Mary Anna...
Have you already tried the methods outlined in our rehab manual? Others seem to have good luck using these to propagate mealworms. I don't think I'm devoted...

I had a good crop of them going on top of my refrigerator. However, they got "mites" or some such thing and the beetles were coming out deformed. I used to...

Audrey, I have had an active "mealworm ranch" for at least 6-7 years now. I started before I had bats, I was using them for killdeer and quail. The trick with...
I am coming in late and working from latest messages to oldest so I may be missing something. Is it possible that there is a thread(s) of somekind wrapped...
My freetails lock their lips shut and will have nothing to do with flax seed oil. If I put enough for them to taste in the blended food they will refuse that...
The red bat in question was seen by the vet today. In the words of the vet, "The ankle joint is toast." I'm certainly no veteran at reading x-rays, but even...
I bet we could get together and write a book about escaped bats. No matter that it can not fly. I have "lost" bats in seconds when they landed and ran in a...
Carol--please get pictures of the splint if it's successful. My vet and I tried to splint an ankle and the bat made a hash of it by almost tearing off her own...
I have parrots and the one thing we are told is never feed avocado or the birds will die. Recently I was reading about foods potentially poisonous to dogs and...
I'll try. I hope she doesn't try to chew off the sponge when I put it on. I haven't yet thought through exactly how I'm going to do it. Obviously, it won't...
Carol, I have used 2 teensy pieces of vet wrap, one on top of the other, for support. It works quite well if you can get it on. Mary Anna Cook-Babcock Desert...
The avacado is fatty, with the good kind of fat and the foliage roosters get green in their diet. I know that you cannot feed avacado to birds (sometimes I am...
That's a very good idea, and might work better and be less annoying to the bat than compressed sponge! Since I'm just using it for support it might work!...
So far, I haven't had any luck in getting the vet wrap to stay on the bat's ankle. The ankle is very bruised and swollen from suffering even more trauma...
Crimp the vet wrap together with forceps or tweezers. Forceps are more powerful. It is actually a 7 person job. Mary Anna Cook-Babcock Desert Hope Wildlife...
