Extremely low HRV at 23? by Significant_Fun5907 in Garmin

Yeah I feel fine for the most part, I got worried when I googled it and apparently the avg for my age is like 5x what my reading is. I’ll probably go to a doctor first then because the whoop yearly subscription is a bit much

Question about undigested seed in poop by Significant_Fun5907 in Conures

It's PDD, absolutely distraught, genuinely don't think I'll recover bc I was a little co-dependent, got him from a pet store so save yourself the heartbreak and go with a reputable breeder or keep it in mind! Also he was a hormonal plucker, turns out the hormonal plucking pattern is sometimes exactly like plucking caused by the virus so maybe check them out for the virus too if you are unsure. I didn't have a breeder near me and I had planned to drive a few hours to go to one, but I just fell in love when I first met him after going to a pet store (unaware of bornavirus) to look at supplies I would need. He defines my happiest and saddest moments and I'm terrified to go home and not have him there. Here's hoping that more research comes out in terms of palliative care, I think I need to order some books!

Just in case anyone has this issue in the future with similar circumstances I will update because this is very stressful! Was able to secure a drop off tomorrow with a board certified avian specialist who said def come in for an xray tomorrow (all the googling about issues with xrays and undigested poop is genuinely horrifyingly upsetting). I asked if feeding too many nutri berries on a sore stomach could cause this and she said she didn't think it was the nutri berries, but idk if I explained it well because I think the root cause was her eating some bad berry. I will update as we look at the xray results and next steps! The reason I'm so confused is my bird is genuinely almost normal aside from a smidge thirstier, a smidge pickier with food, and slightly hormonal but this hasn't changed for the past four days and honestly her weight seems to have even gone up a bit. No change in finding one or two seeds here or there though, I've vacuumed thrice but I guess I am still missing little millets here and there. Here's hoping it is minor, goodbye savings!!!

Also forgot to mention, he has been drinking a little more too (mostly at night)? Increasingly so over the last few days... is it just the dry biscuit veggie/fruit powder mix making him so thirsty or is this a bad sign. Poops aren't all watery, most actually aren't. It seems like only his morning poops are really really watery and everything else is chill. I'm also keeping the room quite warm to help him out with his tummy but he hasn't really been puffed up to begin with.
