Sorry about this the PA, not good when you loose ANY animal though.

BUT, just a word of warning for you. Localy around near me, a woman had to get the vet in to tend to her pet turkey - unfortunately it had to be put down also. And, like you, she buried the turkey, in what she thought was a deep enough grave.

Unfortunately, her retriever dog, then later decided to dig up the turkey, and ate pretty much most of it. Another problem then - the barbituates that they'd used to euthanase (sp) the Turkey were still present in it's carcass. So, the poor dog also had the effects of the drugs used. It wasn't good, and was hit and miss for a while for the dog. The vet eventually worked out what the problem was and was able to treat it. The dog made full recovery - but was close.

So, make sure you bury her deep enough - especially if you have dogs.

All the best
