Good morning Cavin,
Hope a little rest last night helped Stitch feel better. Can't add any more suggestions, but hope you find a vet today that knows a feather from a furball.

I'll be thinking of the three of you and checking in on the thread today for updates.

Well his is improving a little more this morning. He drank more this morning and he stayed under the heat lamp all nite. He still is holding his head up but looks to be wanting to keep his eyes closed also. Still not enough improvement..

Sorry that Stitch isn't feeling much better this morning. Have you tried to get some warm cereal into him? Poor baby, I feel so sorry for him.

Oh my! That isn't good. Cavin if I can be of any assistance with your vet please PM me. I will not be here long today, as I am going to my family's, but I honestly think you are in a fight for Stitch's life. He cannot continue along this path. Have you looked in his mouth? Have you tried to hand feed him? Time is seriously of the essence. He is counting on you to help him. At this point we don't know if he is pain, if he has something stuck in his crop, if he has an infection etc. Poor baby is suffering and needs help.

Hi Cavin,

Here is some information that I hope will help.

Shoal Creek Animal Hospital
Lawrenceburg Animal Hospital do not see birds

Northside Animal Hospital mainly does maintence on nails, beaks, but does not have an avian vet and the vet is not in today.

Good news is All Animal Veterinary Hospital does see birds.
All Animal Veterinary Hospital
818 North Military Street
Loretto, TN
931-853-7127

Vet isn't in, but will come in for emergencies. Dr. Hammond 931-852-4832. This is his home number. I called, but I did not leave a message, as I think it needs to come from you.

I think it is important that you call him and try to get your baby seen. I will pay for the visit. I have pm'ed you my phone number and I will have it on me until church tonight at 7p.m Please accept the help and recognize the importance of the visit. I cannot stand the thoughts of this poor baby suffering.

Tracie, you are an angel.
Cavin if you see Tracie's post, please accept her help. It's Xmas and it will make her feel good too. It's all about Stitch, your buddy.

Hi All,

I have not heard from Cavin. I am about to leave to make the trip to my family's for Christmas Eve. I am available by phone, I will even leave it on vibrate during church. Cavin, please call and make an appointment. Your baby has a slim chance of making it till Monday, by what you are describing. I hope to hear from you.

Merry Christmas to all of you!
