June 2, 201114 yr My little pussy, Phoebe has done it again. After scratching my ping pong balls and denuding my tennis balls for so long I decided, as Tywais suggested, to give her pool balls to play with. Phoebe didn't like this idea at all and decided she needed something a little more animated to keep her amused. Well, we keep chickens at home and we have good old Colin the Cock to keep the hens happy. Phoebe decided that Colin was to be the centre of her attention for the time being. As a result of Phoebe's attentions Colin is now suffering from a number of rather deep scratches, a few of which have become infected. I've tried Betadine and a few other topical creams to no avail so now I'm seeking the services of a Veterinary Surgeon in Chiang Mai who perhaps specialises in poultry. Any suggestions? Please.
June 2, 201114 yr Thai pussies can cause severe problems to cocks. I think the only answer is to take the cock to a cock fighting match and Phoebe to a greyhound race.
June 2, 201114 yr I'm out in the country way out near Tak right now, and at the little country store here, they've got everything from rubber boots to snack cakes, to Tiffy, to - you guessed it - medicine for your cock. I noticed some of them were 'antibiotics for intramuscular injection' as stated on the box. So I'm assuming you'd just do it yourself at home. One little intramuscular injection of your cock should have it perking up in no time !
June 3, 201114 yr May I suggest putting your cock in the sun; I believe VitimD is very good for open wounds.
June 3, 201114 yr Author Thanks for the suggestions, folks but I feel I need to consult a professional for Colin's ailments. Surely with all the chicken farms around Chiang Mai there must be a huge number of sick or infected cocks and hens. There has to be a Poultry Vet in region.

June 3, 201114 yr My best suggestion is to turn this... Into this... Somehow I imagine BB's cockerel wouldn't be tasty fried or grilled.
June 3, 201114 yr Author Somehow I imagine BB's cockerel wouldn't be tasty fried or grilled. sbk, none of my hens nor my cock are available for frying or grilling, they are family pets. We often play with them in the yard so you are more than welcome to come on round and have a little play anytime. Colin the cock loves to have his wattle tickled, it has a very calming effect on him.

I've heard that about cocks and wattles
June 3, 201114 yr I can see Blinky has concern for all of his pets even if they may not be housebroken and roam freely. I have heard that keeping the wildlife/pets we take under our wing, separated and a quarantine period may be of benifit, prior to putting Colin back with the pussy.
June 3, 201114 yr Somehow I imagine BB's cockerel wouldn't be tasty fried or grilled. I suspected as much. My guess is he looks more like this... Or this guy who was checking on his relatives...

June 4, 201114 yr Or this guy who was checking on his relatives... He's related to bananas? Those fried up pieces on the plate are chicken. If I remember correctly, I think the other stuff was sticky rice.
June 4, 201114 yr Thanks for the suggestions, folks but I feel I need to consult a professional for Colin's ailments. Surely with all the chicken farms around Chiang Mai there must be a huge number of sick or infected cocks and hens. There has to be a Poultry Vet in region. Just can't get a 'Plucking Vet' when you need one.
June 5, 201114 yr Author I just had a brilliant thought, doesn't happen very often so I'd best make the most of it...... As we all know Thai men love their fighting cocks, Gai Chohn (ไก่ชน). Consequently many of their cocks must have suffered some injuries during their battles with other cocks and of course many of these cocks would have become infected. All I need to do is visit a ไก่ชน meet to talk with a few of the guys about their injured or infected cocks. I'm positive that they'd be able to give me some of their remedies. I must act soon as Colin my cock has started festering and some of the wounds are exudating some pretty gross fluids. Any ideas on where I can find a local cock fight in Chiang Mai on a Sunday? Thanks in advance.
June 5, 201114 yr bb. re ... Any ideas on where I can find a local cock fight in Chiang Mai on a Sunday? try here : ) enjoy ... dave2
June 6, 201114 yr Author Wow!! My infected cock tale has had a thousand views. We visited the local cock fight in Ban Sanpuloy out Doi Saket way yesterday. After showing my cock's injuries to one of the cock owners he gave me a little bottle of his traditional medicine which he uses on his injured cocks. Colin is showing great improvement already and the hens are looking nervous.
