I'm waiting on Judy's test, but the combination of feather picking and neurological symptoms is enough to have me worried. If her age is right, then she's also in the right age group and has a bad/unknown history. Hopefully it's a stroke or tumor, but I'd like to have some information on PDD just in case that ends up being the issue. I deal with things by looking at the worst case scenario, deciding how to cope with it and going from there. If I'm ready for the worst case, I should be ready for just about anything else.
My concern is for Korbin Dallas and Zena. If Judy has PDD, we'll deal with it. What I want to know though is how do I keep it from spreading. No one really knows how it spreads. I was going to move Korbin Dallas and Judy into a double macaw cage soon and eventually move them in together. I would have done it already, but it's on backorder. Everything happens for a reason I guess. Anyway, if it is PDD, they won't be moving in together. I was just wondering if anyone has birds with PDD and birds without PDD (or at least without symptoms) and how you keep the healthy birds safe. If that ends up being the case, I'll ask the vet, but I'd like to be armed with some knowledge.
