Urgent My lovebird had a seizure yesterday

[Lady Jane]

Fingers crossed. I had a friend with a bird who had an unfixed broken leg and walked on nubs for his entire life. The bird gets PT to the affected foot 2 to 3 times per day and it is helping. What you do is to open and close the foot and encourage perching. Good luck at the vets.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

Yeah I've been encouraging him to perch onto my finger whenever I take him out. And he tries to. He's doing pretty good. I was stretching his feet but then his other foot went out so I stopped because I was afraid it wasn't working. But I'll probably start doing it again. Vets tomorrow though!!!

 

[Jellybeans3369]

Update; he's getting stronger really quickly!! When I first found Jellybean he was instantly attached to me. Then he got super distant and it didn't seem like he wanted anything to do with me.
Now I'm laying in bed with him on my chest as he's snuggling closer and closer into my neck. I think we have really bonded within this past week.
Fingers crossed for Jellybean. But I think with how he's doing right now it is definitely a positive sign.

 

[iamwhoiam]

Excellent news! Keep getting better Jellybean!! Be careful with lying in bed with him. You don't want to fall asleep and roll over on him.

 

[socrjul]

Such good news

 

[Loviebirds<3]

I hope this lucky guy will get stronger soon! Thanks for taking him in and showing so much kindness!!

The world needs more people like you . I'm so glad jellybean is still improving. It's amazing isn't it how much love you can have for such a little creature.

 

[fluffypoptarts]

Aww, maybe he knows you're saving him again! I believe that they can feel and perceive our love.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

It really is amazing how much love I have for this tiny bird. Lol.
Thank you guys.
I just saw his bottom beak is chipped? Like. He bit something and broke his bottom beak?? It's not bleeding and it's the very tip of the bottom beak.
Before his mouth was always kind of open because his bottom beak kept it open. Made it easier to put medicine in. Now his beaks able to fully close?
I don't think this is normal? Or is it?? Idk. He beak looked really rough a couple days ago. Now it seems smooth again and he can fully close his beak. He's still eating. I'll bring it up to the vet tomorrow.

 

[Just-passn-thru]

Your giving him unconditional love.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

This is his bottom beak now. The bottom use to be super sharp and long to where he couldn't close his beak. This okay?

 

[Jellybeans3369]

By the way guys! This is Jellybean!! Thought you guys might like to see his pretty little face

 

[iamwhoiam]

What a sweet, loving face!

 

[Just-passn-thru]

He's adorable, looks like an old injury.
The vet will know.

 

[LunaLovebird]

He's beautiful. He looks like an opaline PF x masked hybrid; I don't think I've ever seen that before.

 

[Jellybeans3369]

@LunaLovebird, I don't know much about different breads of lovebirds? I thought it was a peach faced? Can you show me what you think it's a hybrid of? That would be really cool if it was.

He looks like a hybrid of an opaline peach face LB and a masked LB. You can tell by the white eye ring (PFLB's don't have these), orange beak, and dark colouration on his cheeks.

Jellybean is very handsome, indeed!

 

[Jellybeans3369]

@Lwalker, I think so too! Thank you!

 

[Jellybeans3369]

@LunaLovebird The one with me in it is the first day I found him.
The first photo is of a couple weeks ago. I don't know if seeing the full body of my bird would help. If he was a hybrid wouldn't his colors be as blue as the one in the photo?
Jellybean is such a mystery. I wish I knew his background. Lol.
Thanks for informing me he could possibly be a hybrid. Makes my little man more interesting.
