Evie is a 3.5 year old DNA female Sennie/Meyers hybrid (whoops!) and we've had some weird happenings with her. In October, she started sneezing miserably for hours, several times a minute. She had lots of clear liquid from her nares. We visited an avian certified vet in the area, and he suctioned some green matter from her nose and sent it off for testing. It didn't come back with anything unusual, and we think it could've been from the dehydrated green beans we give her. While waiting for results, we were on cipro and an antifungal, but what was weird is that she seemed normal the following day after the appointment. We ended up doing the meds for 8 days while waiting for the cultures to return, then stopped. Since then, she's had 2 other short stints (<1 hour) of miserable sneezing and coughing until this week, where she was sneezing and coughing for almost 2 before we took her in again. She stopped sneezing for the most part on our way over but the vet said she sounded very congested and suggested cipro and antifungal again. Since it was really traumatic the first round (syringe training her has been unsuccessful so far since she hates liquid treats) we suggested that we could wait until the next day to start the meds in case it cleared up like the last few times. It did for a day and a half, then she started sneezing again for about 30 minutes. She's been flying, eating, screaming, playing between these attacks. She hasn't lost any weight, no new scents or products in our house, no dietary changes. Humidity in the house sits somewhere around 50* and her room rarely drops below 70.*
I'm perplexed. Something that does seem notable is that she appears to be paying extra attention to a spot on her upper chest, dead-center. When I try to look, I don't see or feel anything notable there, but her concentration on that spot seems unusual. Other than that, she's mostly been herself, maybe a little sleepier.
Does anything here seem familiar to anyone?
