After 3 days downstairs Holly happy to be upstairs again and here parked in her usual spot waiting for breakfast.
Asides
Holly is OK
Holly is OK…she just wanted to go downstairs to her favourite ‘summer spot’ at the bottom of the stairs where it’s always cooler.
Weighing pets
This is so funny :-)
We use a little tray to weigh our Bantam chooks and up to a couple of years ago I would just pick-up Holly our Goldie (over 30Kg) and step onto the bathroom scales – with ET ready to take a reading. Not these days she is old and gets a bit stressed.

Doctor Tony checked her front right leg and went through the usual manipulations with no visual signs of discomfort which was the expected outcome – she is very stoic!
Checked her eye lump (see previous post) which is flattening out – that’s good – and only 1/2 way through the antibot’s for that.
Got her some tablets for ongoing pain management; when needed of those off days. I need that!
Left her downstairs for the rest of the day where it’s much cooler and she can come up tomorrow. Our stair routine these days is an ALDI WorkZone belt (lol) looped under her armpits for a bit (not too much) of assistance and safety backup when going the stairs.

She’s had a pretty good day getting around under her own steam albeit carefully and slowly which is good.
As posted out with me this morning and again this afternoon when I cleaned out the chook shed.
Here she is catching up on lost afternoon snooze time :-)

For her monthly check-up and Pentosan jab and… something else for Doctor Tony; a small lump at the bottom of her right eye duct. Opinion is a Cyst and she will be on 10 days of antibiotics – again.
I say again because only a few weeks ago she finished the antibot’s for her tail Cyst which cleared up nicely. Anyway…back home and having a rest :-)
