Please help with Juni

[Milo]

He may have chomped too hard on a toy and bruised it, I honestly don't see anything that screams abnormal to me

Where are you out of? That will give AA members some idea as to who to recomend/suggest if anyone knows of a vet/ group that can help you at minimal/no cost or some kind of plan.

I'm glad it's probably not serious. Sorry if I'm freaking out about everything. Once I find one thing wrong, I get over observant. I just want to make sure he's okay.

I'm in Utah. The only avian vet around is Dr.Folland. He is very nice and has worked with some of my birds before. He's the only avian specified vet that I know of in Utah.

Recommended Avian (Bird) Vets

I've seen Lakeview Animal Hospital recommended on several avian websites. Not sure if they are close to you or not. None of the vets appear to be board certified, but I don't use any board certified vets, either. There is only 1 in my area and she charges double to triple more than other vets who have been seeing birds for 20-30+ years.

Wow, he is so beautiful, Ana! I'm relieved you're taking him in tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing serious but something is bothering you about him that isn't letting you relax. Getting his beak checked out and perhaps getting some tests will either reveal something or put your mind at ease.

My vet, Dr. Harris suggested to run a hot shower, as hot as possible, and bring Regan in for a while to breathe in the steam. The steam is good for them. (If it's respiratory) She is on meds for 2 weeks. Keep us posted. I don't think the beak thing is related, but your vet will let you know. Hugs to you both

 

[Cinnyluver]

Thanks Marlene, I'll let him sit in the bathroom and breathe the steam.
I'll keep you all posted on the vet visit.

Hope Juni feels better and everything is okay

Not to hijack this thread, but lucky you to be able to have Dr. Harris as your vet!! That man walks on water in my mind!

I hope little Juni is doing better

Hope Juni did good in the steamy bathroom, the beak usually peels when it grows no big deal unless it is growing at a fast pace.

Juni is gorgeous.... and I'm praying that all is good. Did you get an appointment to take Juni in to the vet?

 

[webchirp]

Hoping Juni is getting a great checkup and everything sounds clear!

 

[Birdiemarie]

How is Juni doing today?

 

[Marlene]

I was wondering how your baby was doing today too?

 

[Kathie]

Just checking in to see how Juni is doing....

 

[Cinnyluver]

Thanks for the support everyone! So, Juni did not get in to the vet today. They didn't have room until tomorrow so he's going in the afternoon. He hasn't shown any signs of labored breathing or any other problems since yesterday. I'm really hoping it was just something mild.
He enjoyed the hot steamy bathroom. He was making kissing noises the whole time and was dancing and having a great time. It seemed to make him really happy.
I'll keep you updated.

It could have been something in those foods you gave them for the first time the other day. Didn't you say you used peanut oil? I wonder if there was some sort of allergic reaction? Let us know!
