Soentjie has Pneumonia

Irishj9 · 7/27/14

Saturday morning all was well when I let the gang out of their sleeping cages. Soentjie hung back a little as the scrabble for breakfast began, but then she doesnt like to be justled around by the gang.

Back from work at 4pm and she is sitting on a branch in the corner, wings drooping. Oh No!

Quick examination for injury, none visible. Breathing fast and wheezy. Emergency call to vet, 45min fast drive on the motorway in very heavy rain.

Diagnosis was quick. Remedy is Antibiotics heat. Hoping she will pull round, vet says she is in very good condition. But it could go either way.

I still dont know how it could happen. It has been cold here, and rains every day in a capetown winter. But they live draught free and have covered cages and nestboxes to hide in when they want.

Time enough for recriminations later. Hoping she pulls through!

Well the latest news from the vet's assistant is she had a good night ( in an incubator) and she is looking better this morning.

I feel happier now she has survived the night, it could mean her strength will pull her through

So sorry to hear Soentjie is ill, JP. You keep your birds in such great condition, it is very possible she can recover with the great care she is getting. As far as how she got sick; viruses and bacteria are just rife with numbers in the air: all it takes is one inhalation. I would check with your vet about how to boost her immune system, though. Poor baby.

Sending freshly generated positive energy and healing magics to you and Soentjie, JP.
