Seizure question

[metalstitcher]

Okay I'll switch her back over to the senior blend I know I have some bags of it in my food bin.

 

[metalstitcher]

Are the lafeber meal bars okay for sugars like the tropical blend one you think @Hankmacaw? I just reordered the senior blend berries and going to give her the other pellets till the other ones arrive.

I hope sweet Gracie is okay and that something can be done about the seizures.

 

[Hankmacaw]

The Senior Berries have less sugar than the others - the ones that say tropical, fruit, orchard have more sugar. If you will change her pellets to one without so much sugar such as Harrison's, Zupreem naturals, roudybush there would be nothing to worry about. Even better, if you can work some veggies, including green leafy veggies into her diet it would be a big improvement.

 

[metalstitcher]

She won't touch them I've been trying for years. I'll sneak some roudybusch in her food and see if she will eat that. She's been very sleepy this morning poor thing. I'll see if I can get her to try some broccoli tomorrow and cilantro.

@fluffypoptarts it's been a lot of reading fixing and cuddles over the weekend she's pretty tuckered out. I have to get a fleece blanket for her cage bottom and a pad to keep her warm when she naps.

I know you called the vet, but with her being that lethargic, I would want an exam.

 

[metalstitcher]

They are going to let her know what is going on in the morning and if she needs to be brought in they will let me know. With her age and the fact they are not happening that often it's not worth putting her through the stress of blood work. She is getting up there in age.

Did you hear back from the vet's office?

 

[metalstitcher]

They want me to keep and eye on her and journal her seizures for now. If she has them more than once a day I need to call them asap and bring her in. I am going to be ordering a nanny cam in the morning when I get off of work. I found one that will work and I can afford.

Strange the vet didn't think they wanted to see her.

When my macaw had seizures, she was very disoriented, scared, after and thirsty.

 

[metalstitcher]

They told me to keep an eye on her and see if she has them more frequently then 2 times in 2 weeks.

If your bird is having seizures you need to demand an appointment. If the vet wants to wait you need a new vet.

 

[iamwhoiam]

Has she had any since the last one and are you 100% sure they are seizures? Did you find a reasonably priced camera that you can use to monitor?
