@Kassiani They replied today, and they don’t want to increase it until he has another check up even though they saw him a few weeks ago. Normally I’d be okay with that but he does so badly at the vet due to the heart problem. It just takes what little energy he has and it takes him a while to recover (and there is always the risk that he doesn’t recover/dies at the vet). It also takes about 3 weeks for an appointment so I’d have to bring him in as an emergency if I want sooner than that.
And the exam is almost entirely pointless, at least for the heart issue. One because besides increasing the medicine there’s nothing else we can do, and also because even when he was at death’s door they couldn’t tell anything was wrong with him.
I don’t know what else to do though because without increasing the medicine he will die.
It’s also hard to say how bad he’s actually doing right now. He played twice today and he still wants to do his weird chewing thing with his food (he’ll grab one piece in his mouth and chew on it for a long time, then grab another and chew on that one, etc. When he was really sick he’d eat as fast as possible and lay back down). But I can’t tell if he’s actually feeling better or just tired of feeling badly and really wanting to play, because he still sleeps for most of the day. Last time when he was feeling better he still wouldn’t do much but when he was sitting there he would have his eyes opened rather than closed. And I know no matter how bad he feels he’s still the same bird, he still wants to play but just can’t.
