I did file a complain to the authorities. At least the place will get inspected, that's for sure.

This is not my first bird, I owner budgies and coackatiels before. I weaned and tamed them. I've seen two of them pass away. This is the 3rd. I'm a long-life bird lover, and that won't stop

Thank you, my friends. This morning, an hour ago, my little friend passed away in my hands. I woke up to him spreading his wings on the preach, and hanging with his beak to with one of its toys. I immediately knew it was his last few minutes. I took him outside, kept him in my hand, and he started t...

Is climbing up/down only to reach perch/food or he does it for other reasons? Is he climbing more or less now compared to 7 days ago for example? If he's climbing more that's a good sign, he's fighting it and getting more active. His breathing is let's say normal for his condition since he really d...

So, he isn't huddled on a perch, he is actually climbing?, to me, that's a good sign, and it isn't Five days yet, the fact he is still alive, still in there fighting is good. He is obviously taking those deep breaths to get his air sacs working well, hang on in there, keep giving him his medication...

Hello everyone, and happy new year. My little guy is suffering. I don't see him getting better, but the opposite. He has very obvious breathing difficulty. A small amount of activity, such as climbing the cage up or down would get him out of breath. And now, I hear "clicking" in his breath...

Oops, sorry for that. This one should be working now: https://mickaboo.org/confluence/downloa ... 031311.pdf

And yes, never give up. I'm already attached to that little guy.

Here is a great read about my baby's case. There are some stories as well: https://mickaboo.org/confluence/down...sis_031311.pdf

According to that paper, this kind of infection/disease will take a very long time to be healed. Asper is very serious disease...

This is very depressing...

Friends, thank you for your posts and support, means a lot to me, really! I just got back from the avian specialist. First, the hospital required Avian Influenza H5 test, before he gets into the facility, which he passed and the result came negative. Now the vet, she's a very nice vet, and sounded/l...

Thanks guys. His condition is still the same, sick, but stable. Tomorrow I got the appointment with the avian specialist, hoping everything will be sorted and he'll start having a life...

Your prayers and positive thoughts <3

Lady-E, thanks for your post and support here. My little bud is still sick. His condition is stable, but no improvement. Sleeping all day, lack of appetite and not active. I sill hand-feed him, because he won't eat anything, event millets... Tomorrow I have an appointment with an avian specialist wh...

Hi Issam, My husband died 4 years ago, and my daughter does not live nearby, so there is just myself and Sanjay, which is absolutely fine, my daughter (Shoshana) phones me every day. I am very pleased that your little one is responding to external stimuli now, that Is a great improvement, your puss...

Today's update: Woke up with a hope that my little buddy would be/look better, but that wasn't the case. At least, not from the first look. I was getting ready, to take him to his follow up with the vet today, my cat (yes, I have a cat, called Brownie), came close to his cage as he would always woul...

My story today I took my little baby to some other vet. I had to drive so far to get there. They took it as emergency case, and I had to pay double. Anyway, I don't mind as long as he gets better, and actually diagnosed right! The vet immediately said it's obvious that he has respiratory infection. ...

Hello everyone, Today his condition is stable, I wouldn't say he got worse, nor better. Just stable, maybe 1% better. If he stays like this until tomorrow morning, with no significant improvement, I might take him to some avian hospital I found about lately. The issue is that they have ridiculous em...

Thanks Sanjays!! So I just got back from the doctor. The doctor disagreed with me and said he's getting better, even though I don't see it? Said not losing weight, and I'm doing great with feeding him and the instructions given. He also gave me a new medicine for the liver (liver tonic called Versel...

Day 3 passed with medications with no improvement

Sleeping all day long, only wakes up to eat (by me feeding him), and of course giving him the medicine.

Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Before I sleep, and because I'm too concerned, I had to find my parrot doctor on FB, and message him to get back to me with detailed explanation, which I'd like to share with you, and get back your own comments/feedback: His response: My dear friend, thank you for your message and for the feedback a...

BTW, the diagnoses is yeast infection.

Drugs given
Powder: ORNICURE to mix with water, and served instead of plain water
Two times a day: Mycostatin, 0.2 for each dose
One time a day: doesn't have label, it's the pain reliever, I believe, which is one drop

Thanks. I took him to the vet yesterday. The doctor said he's definitely sick Long story, short, I got home with the medicines to give him twice a day. The doctor was positive that his chances are great to survive, and that I should see improvement by today. If not, to bring it back to incubate it. ...

A quick update here. 1. He still sleeps a lot, never on ground, always on top perch. On two legs, never on one leg. Tucking his head back. 2. When in cage, and wakes up, he keeps calling (me I assume), going up and down, looking at me, bobbing his head. When I open the cage top, he comes up and jump...

Thank you very much. Indeed he has full black eyes, still!

That was my impression, the age given to me is incorrect since it still cries for food and still want to be hand-fed. Question: When it's weaned, how will I know? Will it just stop crying for food or refuse to be hand-fed? How long does it usually take to be fully settled-in? Given this and above as...

Hi everyone, I got an IRN about 4 days ago. The breeder told me that he/she is ~3 months old, and that I still need to hand-feed him/her. That sounded a bit awkward to me, do they at age of 3 months need to be hand-fed? That didn't bother me, it'll create "bond" anyway. What's making me ne...
