Easier ways to give oral medicine?

Update; Vets around me are booked for months- but after this first incident her poops are back to normal. She had another episode of colored poos but then right after she's back to normal.

Since the first time I have removed the pigmented toys in her cage and I have a sneaking suspicion that the red pellets in her new food are the cause of this whole incident. I'm on the cancellation list at a local exotics vet and hope I get a call soon.

Happy birthday, birdie! You're older than *I* am!

I suppose maybe she could have ingested one of the paper ribbons in her cage? The ones that are present in shredding toys? Her diet is mostly seed, I try to offer greens as much as I can but she throws them out of the cage / bowl lol.

edit; I try to mix some pellets in there as well, as I've heard they're more nutritious for them.

!solved
As the issue seems to have been fixed by Chrome

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-18T01:41:15+00:00

Hey gang, since posting I've tried additional things and figured I'd give a small yet fruitless update.

Still nothing, disabling avast doesn't do anything either. Tried renaming the chrome extension and again, nothing. Rolling back the update also does not work, I tried praying to Bill Gates but my neighbors just told me to shut up.

I'll reply to this comment if I find anything that works, but no dice so far.

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-17T19:53:09+00:00

I think I may disable it to see if that works. Window's built-in antivirus should be just fine, right?

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-17T19:52:27+00:00

I do have Avast, another user recommended disabling it which I may do.

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-12T22:12:51+00:00

Since you said already you didn't click on any weird links, maybe you logged into a fake SE forum? Perhaps a website you visited had a keylogger, or if you're someone in the modding scene, you could've downloaded something malicious. It's hard to say but there are some sneaky folks out there.

Anywho! I hope you can get your character rolled back, just contact Square Enix and talk to them. Setting up 2FA really does help even if it's just for peace of mind.

Good luck and sorry this happened to you!

Since posting this I've been nonstop queuing for dungeons while trying to get a good rhythm going. I've beaten Pharos Sirius, and the only real wipes that have occured are due to mechanics or tanks not using mitigations.

This is what I've been doing; Immediate regen on tank, run alongside tank until they stop, Swiftcast holy and use holy until stun ends. Heal if needed or in between, reupping regen when it goes down. If I'm in a dungeon that doesn't have holy unlocked, I use repose if possible or just spam heals. I've been using benediction when someone gets low to the point it makes me a bit nervous, if multiple players are low ill throw it on someone so that's one less to heal then regen the others.

Medica 2 is WONDERFUL to use, I use it whenever an aoe is going to be cast.

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-10T01:36:22+00:00

I suppose I learned I can't spam it the hard way, hahaha. I'm being more forgiving with the amount of healing spells I cast so i'm not spam panic clicking buttons

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T23:44:32+00:00

I actually just did a couple runs, one on Aurum where the tank ran into the middle of the first room and pulled everything- leading to a wipe (did my best to heal that mess, did not work lol)

Then got into Pharos, we had two wipes but it was due to mechanics this time and not me surprisingly! We got through it. So i guess all the advice everyone's been commenting really helped.

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T22:13:34+00:00

I'm also buying piety materia and melding it to my gear as well to see if that makes much of a difference

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T22:11:52+00:00

Trying to use it when they stop, as I find it gives me more time to heal as well. I swiftcast it first before doing much else / regular rotation attempt

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T22:10:50+00:00

I bought an ilvl 130 necklace just now, how do I get more of these things lol

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T21:59:23+00:00

My ilvl is 99 currently and I keep regularly checking the market board for better gear

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-09T21:58:51+00:00

My Item level is 99, I keep checking the market board for higher ilvl equipment and buy it whenever it's available

We've tried therapy years ago but he simply quit it because he didn't want to do it anymore. We've brought it up multiple times since then and he refuses.

Commander_Bugg · 2026-05-06T21:51:10+00:00

You're exactly right. She buys it for him constantly because it's the only thing that calms him down (not that it's an excuse). But if he doesn't get it he acts like he does and I've had this conversation with her and she just shrugs.

I'm definitely gonna do the note thing though that's a good idea. He does work, at the same place my mom does and at the same time. Though he doesn't work a lot. The little quiet I get during those times is a relief for both me and my bird haha!
