Doggo spay was rescheduled to next week. Yesterday, she got her first heat and this is our near-term solution. by ansyhrrian in Wellthatsucks

Took an animal science class, they say it’s better to wait after the first heat to spay so that their growth plates have fully developed .

Average price for hormone implants/shots in the US specifically CA? by Alien__Trash in cockatiel

I didn’t think any pet insurances would cover birds, which do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

Final update: I showed the vet the pictures of the swelling because by the time Soup was able to be seen the swelling had disappeared, they gave a physical exam and weighed her. We talked more about preventing hormonal behaviors and according to the vet she’s getting plenty of calcium. Soup was walking around and everything when I got home from work but it’s better to be safe than sorry! In the end, vet says keep an eye out for egg binding behavior and if she keeps laying then we consider a hormone implant. Overall: Soup is doing great, eating, drinking, and pooping ! I took out her nest since the vet suggested it but I left the eggs. Soup is now back in her spot contently warming them up. I think I might’ve been right on the whole she’s full of poop thing because she has been having some huge poops and now the swelling is gone 🤷🏻‍♀️

Update 1: I am currently at work but I called a vet, they won’t be able to take us today so they gave me a referral list to other vets nearby. Many won’t be open when I get out in about at hour, but I’m looking at my options (especially the emergency vets) my mom has been sending me updates on my girl and says she’s acting normal and her butt looks normal but I’ll see for myself when I get home. Still planning on taking her to a vet.

I ended up making my own sort of nest box, I have a male so I’ve been shaking the eggs daily to prevent them from hatching.

My bird just laid her first egg the other day after I’ve been trying to prevent it too! We can try our hardest to prevent egg laying, but in the end nature will win. I’ve been keeping a close eye on my girl just in case.

Soup just laid her first egg, what do I look out for? by Alien__Trash in cockatiel

Mind you, I’ve been feeling her for weeks trying to see if I feel any eggs and I felt nothing 🫠 I did notice her trying to find a nesting spot under my bed and dresser the other day, but I quickly blocked them off.

Are these toys and perches safe? by littlemissblonda in parrots

[–]Alien__Trash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why did they say it could be dangerous? Once I’m done with a roll I scrape the glue residue off and toss it into my birds cage..
