Got home today and Nin had reached around his cone and chewed a bunch of the blood feathers on his rail and rump until they bled:(
:(:(NO!! So sorry. I hope your vet will help you get some relief for your baby.

It just clicked that yesterday was his last day on Buprenorphine, so today was his first day without it. He is still on Benadryl. I'm going to call the vet in the morning and see how long he can be on Buprenorphine for, and maybe get some more. My poor baby.

I know how worried you are. Many prayers that you can figure out how to get him through this molt.

He got his cone off today while I was at work, we're pretty much back to square one now:(

It was so hectic today, I missed the phone when the vet returned my call, so I will have to talk to her tomorrow.

Many good wishes that poor Nin will get better. It hurts so much when we see them suffer.

My vet says it'll be fine to keep him on Buprenorphine until the feathers are fully grown in. She says to see how he does and I might be able to reduce it to once a day instead of twice.
