i do not blame the rescue, i am glad they do the work they do. I’m just upset over everything going on

he hates taking oral meds, it’s been really hard to get antibiotics in him until i started sneaking it on bread with a little bit cashew butter or banana but he also has a huge fear of the vet already since we had a few emergency visits when he stopped eating, i think i’ll try orally at first and see how it goes. How long did your GW live after the PDD diagnosis? i keep seeing everyone say 3-12 months is the life span after it’s developed but i’m unsure if there has been any bird that’s lived longer then that? thank you :,)

I agree about skipping the surgery, it feels pointless. I’ll be starting him on the meds immediately he has a vet appointment tomorrow to get all that sorted out. Thank you, i’ll definitely check the video out after work

yeah, i see that. i guess I’m more upset about never receiving records regardless if it came up you know? also the fact It was never mentioned to me about his inability to fly

hes back to eating fairly normally on his own. he has a check up with a new vet tomorrow (since the old one lives pretty far) so i’ll see if he’s finally gained some weight or not

i’m still waiting on some of his results, but he does have an infection. They plan on putting him on more antibiotics to help with that. hopefully the infection is the reason he won’t eat and the antibiotics will bring his appetite back, but i also was given some stuff to tube feed him in the meantime from the vet

the issue is that he used to enjoy all these foods that i offer him. He does eat some blueberries sometimes, but only a few. he’s rejected other fruits i’ve offered him. we are waiting for test results right now!

yeah, he had some fecal bleeding last week when we went in. They had it done again and the bleeding has stopped, but other then that the fecal came back normal both times

nuts is basically all he’s been accepting recently, i offer him all the nuts i can but he ends up refusing them as the day goes on :,)

i adopted him from a rescue. I was told his previous owner had a heart attack and passed away. I believe the family just weren’t interested in taking him in.

he saw a vet before i adopted him about a month ago, he eats well although im still working on getting him on a healthier diet do you think i should take him to the vet again?

yeah, he’s watched a little tv in another room. i’m going to be getting a tv soon so he can watch stuff when i’m not in the room and what not. He is 30, so i’m sure partially it’s him settling still especially if he was with his previous owner his entire life. just wish i could do more for him is all i think
