New Soft Landings of Tennessee intake last night. We got a message that she was in someone's yard and would not walk or move around much. She did fly over the fence and land in a bush but that's as far as she got. Jaimie Kopf Fotopoulos went on the rescue and has her in care now. As you can see from the pictures she has already lost toes and parts of webbing to frostbite previously. She has frostbite again most likely and may lose a little bit more. But from now on she will be safe and protected. She will only be adoptable to a home that will be able to have her on soft surfaces and bring her inside when it's below freezing to protect her poor little feet. We have named her Ariel. We already have Kevin, who is also footless. For those who are not from the '80s, Kevin and Ariel are the main characters in a movie called Footloose.

FOR SHAME MEMPHIS!

This week the City Council UNANIMOUSLY
voted to amend the law requiring Memphis Animal Services to impound strays. So now MAS can LEGALLY leave strays (intact or not) on the streets to fend for themselves...to starve, be hit by cars, form packs and attack humans, reproduce, and be used for dog fighting.
We know they have been doing it anyway but NOW it is legal and the City Council voted to make it legal. The council provided NO definition of the parameters to leave the strays on the streets just that an animal officer can leave the stray on the street under exigent circumstances...full shelter, animal officer is at the end of his shift, whatever...
KEEP THIS IN MIND...a unanimous vote...EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEMBER...and that includes council member, Frank Colvett, currently running for mayor.
Remember THAT when voting....
if Colvett cares this little about animals while he's running and trying to get votes what would he be like towards animals as mayor?
CAA hopes that EVERY single animal lover, advocate, owner, rescuer, and foster will NOT vote for Colvett.
Animal advocates attended and spoke against the change at EVERY council meeting. Obviously the entire Memphis City Council does not care. including mayoral candidate Coucilman Colvett.

I am working on putting together a list of veterinarians who are willing to treat waterfall and backyard flocks and a list of veterinarians who are willing to do things such as x-rays or prescription medication but do not actually treat the birds themselves. If you have a veterinarian that you love please list below. If you see your veterinarian already listed please like or love that that if you think they're awesome. I already know about Dr Pope and Dr McGee in Collierville and I believe there is a Dr Cox in Olive Branch.

We've been working with a lovely sweet goosie girl Grass Pickin Chicken Eggs - she's got a limp that turned into bumblefoot from overcompensation. She didn't like her "boots" very much at all! We unwrapped and did something different so she would be more comfortable and she's on cage rest for a bit. (I do laugh at her - Sebbies can be a bit of a drama queen). She has been such a sweet, good girl and she didn't p**p on me once (although she got my bag) and she never tried to bite me at all.

Have you noticed that your flock is losing weight? Does it look like a pillow fight at TriDelta in your chicken coop? Have you noticed little white or brown specks crawling around on your birds? All of these can be signs of mites or lice. Both of these pests are easy to treat for the most part if you catch them early, but both of these pests can cause you a lot of headache and heartache with your flock if not treated properly. Adding diatomaceous earth to your dust bath is often recommended but too much diatomaceous earth is dangerous for your lungs and theirs. And once you have an infestation it won't solve the problem only provide temporary relief. We have the medications and sprays to control this problem quickly and safely. Elector PSP has no egg withdrawal and can be used directly on the bird and in your coop. It's also a one and done treatment rather than having to retreat every 10 days for several cycles. Contact us to schedule an appointment!
