Show that is really odd? Hope she feels better now. I would show this to the vet. Maybe she needs vit d to help absorb calcium. A full spectrum light would provide this along with calcium supplements.

Dont understand this at all, shes on calcium therapy, also gets the coral calcium with vitamin D in it. Shes never, in all her 14 years had this problem. Wondering if that mass\ tumor has something to do with it....waiting to hear from my vet.

Are they still thinking there is a mass or that it was the egg?

:grouphug:
Its a mass in her abdominal cavity, or a tumor he's pretty sure. He just called and said that may be hindering the calcification of any eggs. And if its attached to a vital orgam then why possibly kill her with an unsurvivable surgery? She acts OK, eats, pops look decent, were just gonna let her live out her life,,,sound mean or selfish? I don't think so, shes getting up in years and why stress her , shes happy now.

It doesn't sound mean or selfish at all. You are a wonderful bird owner and only you know what's best for your birdie.

I think you're taking the right approach. Nobody can doubt that you just want the best for her, and you know your girl better than anyone.

Poor Quigley. FWIW, I think you are taking the right approach. I would not have my bird undergo a surgery that might kill him unless it was absolutely necessary for his survival. You know best.

So.. The little girl was walking across the floor a few minutes ago, stopped to poop and this came out! I opened it, it looks OK....she seems OK, just ready to go to bed. I'm dying inside, shes so strong , apparently a lot more than me lately. IMG_20150403_192436.jpg IMG_20150403_190839368.jpg
