little Sprite isn’t feeling well. Yesterday he was puffed and poop was gray. We put him in the hospital cage with heat. Now he’s falling over.

We’re on the way to the vet. :(

We're back.

He tucked his head under his wing: in the car, in the waiting room, in the exam room, and now. He is one tired but very cooperative little boy. Weight was 20 grams, and she agreed with me that he's very light.

We have baytril and metacam, and sent off a slew of tests. Now he is an expensive bird! LOL We won't have all the tests back until next week.

I came home and hubby & I bleached everything, the whole room, took cages outside and bleached then pressure washed. The bad thing is we just did all this yesterday! :laugh:
Spent the whole day in there working.

Sprite is going to be in the dining room which is (according to hubby) best because of air flow. He was falling over this morning but hasn't fallen again since we got back.

Great that you got him to the vet quickly. Hope the medications help. It's good that he isn't falling over any more. Get better Sprite!!

Didn't realize, for some reason, that you named him "Sprite". Thought you named him "Rambo". Glad you went with "Sprite" instead.
