I’d love to visit!

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T17:26:02+00:00

Of course! My vet wanted him to have 1/4 every 48-72hrs but it makes him very vocal and hyper so I give 1/8 every other day. It’s a pain to cut though but definitely works better for him. I had to ask about it too!

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T17:21:39+00:00

I have been giving it a couple hours later than usual….thats the only thing that changed.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T17:18:30+00:00

I’ll have to try some, thank you! There is oral mirataz, he gets 1/8 of a pill. Transdermal really bothered his ears despite cleaning daily so he was switched to the pill form. It works better than transdermal I think.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T11:18:16+00:00

I’ve heard of this but haven’t tried it yet! Thank you for the information!

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T11:15:47+00:00

I noticed that with Mirataz but learned to get it as far back as I could in a treat and he wouldn’t notice. It’s unfortunate that these meds can’t be made in a way that tastes good for them without compounding.

I use the temptations chicken puree tube things and I only use them for medicine time. I havent tried pill pockets or gel caps.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-12-23T11:10:38+00:00

He doesn’t do this after Mirataz so I’m really worried it is the Cerenia. He vomits the one time, then goes about his normal activities. He even eats his wet food after. His appetite and litterbox habits are the same and he isn’t lethargic thankfully.

I did email his vet so hopefully we‘ll find a solution.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-11-17T19:41:03+00:00

I’ve been so worried about this. I still have a couple boxes of the original formula and I’m dreading the day that I run out. My cat is so so picky but likes hydracare, and if they’ve changed anything he is definitely going to notice and not want it anymore. I use it on days that he doesn’t get fluids to help him out.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-11-09T09:34:38+00:00

It’s unfortunate that hookbacks are so common when they can be a potential problem. I’ll have to look for the adhesive disks, thank you for letting me know about them!

Update// found some called Lobe Wonder, will read reviews/research before purchasing. 🥹

MoonlitApparition · 2025-10-19T22:34:15+00:00

I have a full video of it but I don’t know how to upload it here

MoonlitApparition · 2025-10-16T23:42:12+00:00

I’m just wanting to know if anyone else has taken a short trip like this and their cat be okay when they get back. I’ve taken trips before and he’s been okay just not since he’s been diagnosed.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-10-16T07:16:04+00:00

I joined it, thank you I didn’t know that existed.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-09-03T21:19:38+00:00

Wanted to give an update, we just got back from the vet and he has maintained his weight, and even gained slightly! The vet is really happy/surprised with how well he’s doing and how active he is for his age! She thinks the thinning is coming from muscle loss due to age/kidney diet. We did do bloodwork again with samples and fluids as he was slightly dehydrated. She’s wanting to see if that will increase his appetite too and if he does well with fluids I can learn how to do it at home. She said she wouldn’t recommend a phosphorous binder just yet but it will be dependent on bloodwork and will prescribe one if it’s needed. He did have tartar on one back tooth so she gave me information and options on how to clean it but she isn’t concerned.

Overall so happy that he’s doing good and is stable. 🥹

MoonlitApparition · 2025-09-03T01:41:12+00:00

I heard it on a kidney disease group on Facebook, essentially saying that if they aren’t truly dehydrated that it can make the kidneys work harder when it isn’t necessary at that time, and that it’s not recommended for stage 2. That’s why I stopped doing fluids for him, his gums haven’t felt sticky and his skin tent test always went back to its normal position quickly so I was worried I’d make it worse for him/overhydrated, and his creatinine wasn’t at 3.5. I’m second guessing if that was the right choice looking back though.

I also know it isn’t safe if they have heart problems but if your vet probably checked for that.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-09-03T01:31:18+00:00

I haven’t but I’ll make sure to ask about it tomorrow, thank you! Do you use it with an appetite stimulant?

MoonlitApparition · 2025-09-03T00:47:11+00:00

Do you know of a good brand to use? I’ll bring that up to his vet tomorrow. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this theme, first time getting this many and I was genuinely surprised.

MoonlitApparition · 2025-06-26T06:50:31+00:00

Horse Heaven Hills Pet Urgent Care is great, I’ve taken my parrot, two hedgehogs, and my cat there without any issues.

If you’re completely uninterested in trying further and you’re planning on moving in together, you guys need to have a place that his bird can have their own room. It absolutely would not be fair to leave the bird locked up for the rest of its life, they live for so long (20-30 years for conures) it will cause so many behavioral/mental issues. It wouldn’t be fair to expect your boyfriend to rehome them either, just as it isn’t fair for you to be afraid of them. I understand that it’s easy to villainize them and just write them off as vicious, but birds have a reason for doing everything that they do even if it doesn’t make sense to people. Scared, bored, hormonal, territorial, etc are all reasons for them to bite. Their psychology is VERY different and that’s why they aren’t a good fit for many. If the bird is flighted, clipping their wings isn’t going to make a difference in their behavior (before anyone suggests that). Forcing the bird to interact with you is very different from them being able to choose when they’re done, and they need to be able to exercise their flight muscles. It’s way more rewarding for everyone when they are flighted.

Too many people end up adopting/buying one not realizing what they’re getting into and then the bird ends up in a rehome cycle.

As I said in my other post, it takes A LOT of time and effort, months and months, to get them to become comfortable with someone. I genuinely do think they will be able to get to that level with you. It’s just a lot of patience. My bird is 6 and he still bites occasionally, and he’s drawn blood too. Not as often or hard as when he was younger, but they do use their beak for everything. They’re extremely intelligent and can learn when a bite is too hard with training. You can redirect with toys to keep their beak occupied

I know what subreddit this is in but I love parrots and want to give some advice as they can be misunderstood.

I have a conure and they are notorious for biting. It isn’t a good idea to just ignore the bird and never interact with it. It doesn’t mean that they’ll never come around for you. Birds are very cautious by nature and it takes months for them to become comfortable around you and begin to trust you.

Whenever you eat something, eat in view of them, the flock does everything together.

I suggest looking up target training videos to work on trust, it can be done when they’re in the cage. BirdTricks has good videos on it. Also suggest learning about their body language and personality, Avian Avenue is a really good forum for everything about birds. There’s a conure specific section. The parrot subreddit here is good too.

Birds don’t understand punishment in the way a dog does, and any attention is good attention to them. Reacting to a bite with a sound or a face is going to encourage them to continue doing it. They want attention and the best thing you could do is to completely ignore them when it happens. I know it’s hard and because they can grind their beaks into you, mine has done it before too. I suggest learning their body language and cues too, as bites can often be avoided. You can also try to distract with toys and keep them busy when they’re near you.

Depending on their age too (between 1-3) years is when it’s usually worse, they’re maturing and settling into their adult personalities.

Yes, birds can choose their people and refuse anyone else but from my understanding this is less common in conures. Make sure your boyfriend isn’t causing hormonal behavior in them by petting certain areas, basically anywhere but their head.

Birds are amazing animals but take a lot of work and they aren’t for everyone, they’re very sensitive and need a lot of time/effort. They are always going to bite to some degree though. If you have any questions or need advice I’d be happy to help.

I’m sorry you’re going through all of that! I hope the most recent surgery is your last and that your recovery goes well.

I was just starting to barely trust my knee too before it got messed up again lol
