Cypress bounced back fast.. this morning he is eating millet, eating seed mix from my hand, and still willing to drink water from my syringe so I *know* he is getting some of the medicine in him. He still sat on my shoulder for a bit even though he's perky and not half dead today
His weight went back up 1 gram. He is pooping.
And his poor little toe seems ok.. at least it feels like he is gripping with it.
He needs a good bath but he's not going to enjoy another towel bath and I'm nervous about letting him expend too much energy bathing himself.. maybe I could take his cage into the shower and let him get some warm spray on him.
But I'm finding myself reluctant to stop babying him. When should I take the seed mix/millet away and make him eat pellets again?
When should I let him go home to his brother?
