« on: March 31, 2009, 07:46 »
Noticed last night when the new girls were having a pootle one of the lavenders was making a strange little noise I don't know if it was a cough or swaking. She seems fine eating and drinking well! Any advice anyone? ???

Hello Wadz81.
If she is eating and drinking OK, with no wheezing, maybe she is just a talkative female muttering contendedly to herself.
Some folk reckon there are women like that!   ::)
Just keep an eye on her today, if you're worried come back on here, then I'm sure you will get plenty of advice.
Put Apple Cider Vinegar 25mls to 1 litre in their water.  Also a clove of garlic - good for their respiration.

now i know that if you put a clove of garlic in your shoe and wear it all day by the afternoon you can taste it in your mouth. so with that said, wouldn't your agg taste of garlic? :tongue2:
