Scully likes towels. They are great for ripping up and destroying. However when he sees the syringe and the towel that's a different story.

Great that BScoot did not fall last night and that he is acting like himself today.

hmmm, i misremembered how much to give and measured out .2cc (4 drops - he's only 325g so should have been 3 drops) and pulled up some juice in the syringe so he could see it was juice. He took it like a champ! A couple drops of the mixture fell out of his beak so maybe I didn't overdose him after all. Anyway that problem is solved! Now I have to try the same trick with LScoot. Thanks @Macawnutz @iamwhoiam

Smart birdie...
The good this that you can be sure that he gets the full benefit of the medicine.

The dosage is .05 cc/ml per 100 gms. so you just went a little over. Shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think you can overdose with it. It's naturally occurring in their body too.

Using a loading dose would also depend on how your using it and what your using it for. I've done loading doses with it many times.

I'm just using the dmg for general health.

I did that with Nerd when he was sick for the last time with whatever stuff they gave me on a guess it wouldn't kill him and might help. They said it shouldn't hurt him and he might just get the runs if it bothered him. They put the wrong dose on the bottle but yes it didn't seem to make him any worse. Of course he was already very sick but positive it didn't hasten anything.
I'm sure he'll be fine and you didn't give him a huge amount over so don't worry and beat yourself up

The morning he plucked last week

[WendyN]

[Rolanda]

He was busy in the RIGHT way!

 

[saroj12]

blood's been drawn. is being sent to miami avian lab. @Hankmacaw @Macawnutz

 

[saroj12]

I just love the apple juice drawn up in a syringe preloaded with dmg. LScoot and BScoot just drink it up! The whole dose practically! Thanks to you all for suggesting this idea!

 

[Macawnutz]

Hope your bloodwork is good or provides some answers. Give them an extra treat from WI!

 

[saroj12]

Blood work came back great! There was a slight abnormality in the enzyme called CK which was due to his calcium injections. Said to cut back on oral calcium dose. He hasn't fallen since I got the camera! @Macawnutz @Hankmacaw

 

[WendyN]

Good news!
He knows you are watching him....
