Jogging around the block
Last night I was on the floor watching TV and basking in the awesomeness that was Abby being perched on my knee grinding her beak and preening her tail feathers most of the evening and I looked up at Elvis on the play stand to see his tail bobbing. At first I thought since he was on a thinner branch of the stand that he was doing it to maintain balance and get at the millet at the same time. I was forced to dislodge Queenie pants Abby and had him step up on my arm to check if that was the case and no, he was tail bobbing.
The soonest our usual vet can see him is Sunday but she gave me two emergency numbers in case he seems worse and told me that they can forward his records there too if I need it.
I didn't put him in a hospital cage last night, other than the tail bobbing he was eating and acting normal, no trouble perching and I worried that it would stress both him and Abby out if I had him locked away until Sunday. I made the room warmer and this morning no bobbing.
He is still whistling and tapping and acting himself. Poo looks fine, no discharge or sneezing from the nares. If he has an RI will it be intermittent like this or could it be an outside cause or allergy? I wasn't cooking anything or using anything at the time, there is construction going on outside for the gas lines and that concerns me a little. Elvis is the only one affected but addmittedly Bill and I have a bit of a cold coming on ourselves.
Should I isolate El from Abby until the vet or is it OK to let him be with her unless he seems worse?
