My roo collapsed and I thought I lost him: now I need your cluck-tastic advice

Oh, my heart. Reading about your roo collapsing like that, just *there* on the ground, wet and cold, gave me a genuine cluck in my throat. I'm so glad he wasn't gone, but that half-standing posture and the rumbling stomach are serious red flags. You're right to be worried, and no, you're not alone in kicking yourself for not acting sooner. We've all been there, frozen by that awful "what if" feeling. The apple cider vinegar is a smart, gentle start, but if he's still not eating or drinking, he needs a vet, stat. For a similar tale of heartbreak and hard lessons, our piece on saying goodbye to Lulu and Olive really hits home.
