Howard has infection

[Greylady1966]

His vet put him on baytril for 7 days. His weight has dropped again. She said it's common to get secondary infection with diabetes.

Yes, almost any illness or disease is an invitation to opportunistic infections. Their immune system is compromised and therefore provides a bacteria or fungus to thrive. You just need to watch a bird with a chronic disease very closely.

I suggest you have anyone going near him wear a mask to help protect him from the Covid virus since we know that animals are subject to get it from humans.

Is he showing any signs of improvement?

 

[Greylady1966]

Yes he's improving. He's a tough little guy (girl really). He was yelling at my daughter to "Get in here now." Alittle while ago.
