Good News!!!!

I'm glad that Chipper is getting better. I hope that the flagyl will help. In place of Cheerios, you might want to consider Goldenfeast golden obles. It is a pellet shaped like a cheerio with all organic ingredients and Bella loves them (when she is not flinging them across the room). I hope that Chipper continues to improve

I read something about coconut oil helping w/yeast problems. Just feed a small amount every day. Hope Chipper continues to improve.

I'm glad Chipper is gaining weight! My tiel loves the Higgins Worldly Cuisine mixes. That might be something to try.

Update 11/21 Chipper looks better to me than his last photo. What do you think? He has more energy and is talking up a storm again.
He loves to sit on my hand and put his ear very close to me to hear the words I am saying. Have another appointment next Tuesday and I am guessing they will do more swabs and dropping test. In the last 10 days he has vomited only 2 times and to me that is wonderful. I think the addition of Flagyl has been a good plan.

Visit to vet today. Sadly Chipper has lost 4 gms. He is now weighing only 36 gm. and I asked the girl to weigh him twice. Vet put him on a new antibiotic called Orbifloxacin. Not too much on the web about its use in avian medicine. Will continue the amphotericin in the drinking water and the Reglan for nausea and vomiting. She is sending away droppings testing for the continued presence of yeast. We will wait until the result is in for what comes next in the treatment plans. Poor little guy is being bombarded with medications.

I spoke with the vet about my finances and not being able to afford the expense of testing and the medications. Noticed on my receipt the cost of the Orbifloxacin was $67.33 and then lower down on the page was a discount noted of $52.38. Now that was very unexpected.
