This pidge is drivin me nuts

[Birdbabe]

She wont eat, wont drink, wont preen...what you see her in the pic is what she does all day. I try to get her to drink, Ive offered her everything there is to eat... Im tube feeding twice a day...Were off to the vet in the morning.

I am sorry you're having a hard time with her. It is so good of you to care for her. I hope the vet can help.

Shes has the "roller pigeon" build, thats normal. I took this pic after I fed her a crop full of baby formula, But her keel is potruding badly and she hasnt gained any weight at all....

were back from the vet. He couldnt find a thing....no parasites, no yeast, no infections of any kind....He had a talk with her.... and she did sip a tiny bit of water when we got home...my vet, the bird whisperer. I do have some flagyl and baytril to give her "just in case". He wants daily weights and updates....maybe shes just missing home, and /or depressed...thats all we could come up with. I did have that band removed since the ownwers dont want her back. Ive named her "Luna".

 

[lupe]

Well that's a relief. Maybe she just need some time to settle in...nothing alot TLC wont cure

OMG, now today I came home from work and shes open mouthed breathing and tail bobbing! WTH? We were just at the vets, he didnt find anything! I do have the meds and and still giving her those. I called him straight away and he said "your doing all you can, maybe she aspirated some water or baby formula, but I am giving her small amounts coz I dont want her too full, due to aspiratin....grrrrrrrr. All I want is for her to get better, Ill keep checking her and call him again in the morning. Prayers for her, thanks everyone.
