Beak issue

[Rain Bow]

Give Chirp lotsa love from Buddy & I.

I'm glad your vet is being so supportive. My heart is w/ you my friend.

Chirp has hardly eaten today, and he has spent a lot of time fluffed up and napping (head underwing). He also hasn't been as active today. That makes me really scared. I'm going to mention it at the vet tomorrow. I know none of those are good signs...

 

[Ripshod]

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

 

[iamwhoiam]

So sorry to read the recent update. Sending positive thoughts for Chirp.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough. I'm hoping for some good news about Chirp! Keeping you two in my thoughts!

 

[taxidermynerd]

He's more active now, yelling and eating and less sleeping, so that's good. I'm still worried but it's something at least.

 

[Rain Bow]

Great news that he's finally eating! I will hold you both close in thought tomorrow during the day.

 

[JoJo&Loki]

Praying that it works!
It is good news that he was eating and being a bit more like himself today. Hang in there Chirp, your mommy loves you so much and is doing everything she can to help you

Delayed shock? Sounds like it to me.
Glad to hear he's feeling better.

We saw the vet today, she says his beak is actually doing a little bit better! She says the reason he's eating less and sleeping more could be a lot of things (the meds, pain, illness, etc) but it's good that he becomes more active in the evening.

We are continuing the Clavamox, once the antifungal gets here we will start that, and she also gave us some Celebrex for when he's having a bad day- she says I can give it daily, but I don't have to.

So we go back in 2 weeks, and she says to call if he starts acting off or anything. When she came back from filing his beak Chirp slipped out of her hand, he flew around the room and landed on his carrier, looked at the vet, and hopped right in! I think he was ready to go home lol.

We are hopeful that he can stay at this point for some time.

Also, does anyone know if Celebrex needs to be refrigerated? The bottle doesn't say, the vet didn't mention if it needs to be, and they're closed now for the night. @Hankmacaw ? Should I put it in the fridge just in case?

 

[Sarahmoluccan]

Great news! I hope he continues to get better

It depends on how it was compounded. If the bottle doesn't say, then probably not but you can always call to clarify.

They're closed for the night, and they don't open until 8am tomorrow, so, unfortunately, it'll be a while before I can ask them. Hopefully it'll be okay sitting out.

Even if it needs to be refrigerated, one night won't hurt it. It's just to extend shelf life.

Thanks for the update about Chirp! So cute how he decided to go back into the carrier on his own! Yup, definitely sounds like he was done with the vet! lol

 

[zoo mom]

If you have a cooler room, keep the celebrex in that room until you can get ahold of the vet tomorrow.

I got a message back from the vet, I had messaged them on Facebook, they said nope Good to know.

We always need to check with the vet, I guess. My Celebrex needs refrigeration. That could be as much for taste as for longevity. Her Furosomide has warnings, not to refrigerate. With six hard core medications and four important supplements, it's confusing.
