Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:04]Not sure that he's actually ready to try some fluids yet, so I'm not going to do that. I'm going to give him honey.

[00:00:12]You don't put that out.

[00:00:15]See how young he is? He's got great teeth.

[00:00:18]No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:00:23]That's better.

[00:00:26]So, do you want me to hang you for 5 minutes so you can do your business?

[00:00:30]Then something for pain.

[00:00:32]And then some more fluids and back to bed.

[00:00:34]I need to get your eyes looked at, don't I?

[00:01:04]Something for pain.

[00:01:06]Some more fluids.

[00:01:07]Yeah?

[00:01:19]What he's got going for him Yeah.

[00:01:24]is that his tongue's nice and pink.

[00:01:28]What he's got going against him his legs are not that strong.

[00:01:34]Not sure whether it's just cuz he smacked his head so much or whether because he's got some spinal thing going on.

[00:01:44]Yeah.

[00:01:46]That's a good point. May I put you over like this?

[00:01:51]That's a good boy.

[00:01:57]That's better, isn't it?

[00:01:59]What about this one?

[00:02:01]Can you undo that one so that you can turn over?

[00:02:14]Okay.

[00:02:16]Here we are, honey.

[00:02:18]Like that for a moment. Just let me feel.

[00:02:20]Let me have a feel.

[00:02:50]Okay. I'm going to hang you just for a little while.

[00:02:57]Here we are.

[00:02:59]That's right.

[00:03:02]Now, it might look like he's hanging nicely, but he's not.

[00:03:06]He's only got two toes um over this side. He's only got them because I put them over, not because he could get them over.

[00:03:22]His back's straight.

[00:03:25]His wings seem okay.

[00:03:28]Let me have a look at this side.

[00:03:31]He's been on soft ground, so he hasn't got any knuckle grazes.

[00:03:41]Now, what's he doing?

[00:03:47]Don't think he's swallowing well. I think that might be the issue.

[00:03:54]Now, the only reason he could hang is because his feet are hooks, so he can't actually unhang himself at the moment unless he takes his weight off.

[00:04:03]Okay.

[00:04:05]Mr. handsome, Mr. skinny handsome boy.

[00:04:08]I'm going to take Okay. Well, you put your nose down then if things are dripping out.

[00:04:14]I'm glad I didn't give him anything to drink.

[00:04:20]Here you are.

[00:04:27]You want to stay hanging for a while.

[00:04:48]Okay.

[00:05:27]It's all in his nose. It's not in his um chest.

[00:05:32]He hasn't got um pneumonia.

[00:05:35]He's just We look. Try going up here like that.

[00:05:41]Gives you a bit of a I can hear him rattling, but it's not rattling in his chest. It's rattling in his nose.

[00:06:24]Something for pain.

[00:06:58]Okay.

[00:07:02]Like this.

[00:07:04]I'm going to put you so your bum's up in the air a bit.

[00:07:09]Yeah, it's all right. It's okay, sweeter. It's okay.

[00:07:24]Sloth there.

[00:07:27]Yeah, I know, love.

[00:07:42]Here we are.

[00:07:59]Now.

[00:08:01]This one's got a bit of a gap under it.

[00:08:03]Yes, it has.

[00:08:08]Okay. Do you want your chin on that then?

[00:08:10]Like that.

[00:08:13]How's that? Is that better?
