Great news Ryan! :D

I'd look at getting Sam onto Harrisons High Potency, either fine or coarse blend.

I am so happy for you I could :cry:
I did :(. lol Out of relief and happiness when I saw him running on the table:) I had a mini flashback to when I still had Max. I just adore amazons:heart:

Ryan you did a great job getting Sammy help right away and your emergency vet did awesome! I am happy to hear you will go to your regular avian vet for the blood work and diet help.

This is great news to read first thing in the morning. Kisses and hugs to Sammy!:hug8:

Can't wait to see him with him with his new cage and toys!

Wow! Just so happy that he turned around so quickly. I believe in miracles, they do happen. As for the pellets that your Doc told you about they are more than likely what Stevo said. Harrison's pellets and the high potency for ill or recovering birds those should be good if he will eat them. Kathy at MSBS may have samples, many Vets either have both samples and carry the food.

Wow, thanks for the picture updates I can go to work today not worrying about what's happening over at AA and Sam!

Thankyou everyone! I believe Sammy should be coming home today I'm waiting on a call from the vet. Probably around noon I'll revive one.

Roger that! They are still open at 11pm? You can find those pellets at most Avian Vets- but if you can't get them there you can order them. I want to say the Harrison's mash is good too- mix it over fresh/cooked food or birdie bread. Power treats are very well eaten here by Kazoo, he loves them. He can eat a bag in a month!

SAMMYS HOME!!!!! Well been home for about 30 min. Had to settle in and give him lots of love plus extra for all of you! He made his excited noise as soon as I turned the light on in my bedroom. As for food this vet did not sell it. Only dog and cat stuff. I just got it from petsmart. But not harrisons. He recommended zurpreems avianmaintaince forti diet blend cockatiel size. extra water dishes and more fruit. Hes on a weight gain diet but the vet said the healthy way lol He personally still wants to see him in a week and I agreed to schedule an appt. He really seems to care.Pictures Tomarrow!! I need some sleep. Long drive.
