My sweet Lucy, cocktail, is 16.5 years old. She has mobility issues. I think it's arthritis in her feet but unsure. About 2 years ago she had what I think was a stroke. Before then she could fly, paid better attention and all the normal stuff. Afterwards she cannot fly, she flops, she has little to no grip in her feet at times. I had posted about this in the cocktail forum and was advised to come here. Until today she had a large cage and would fall frequently. I had towels and blankets to soften the fall. She also has a harder time leaning forward to eat and drink from bowls, falling face first from time to time. I had used a cup and lid in the bowl to prevent drowning. I carry her when she is out, usually having to let her on the back of my hand so she can stand up better. Today I moved her into the smaller cage I had my conure in, I probably should have done the switch earlier. So I wonder what else I can do to make her life better and safer. Any ideas?
