Saw his doctor, he doesn't have an infection this time but blood glucose is still very high. His weight is about the same as last time. He has been taking more naps lately but is eating good. Made the choice to keep him on glyburide it helped more than glipizide. Metformin was taken about. She's checking into that, she doesn't have much experience with it and wants others options. She said he's a tough little guy (girl)

Are there any studies on metformin for birds available online that you could read up on? It's definitely a bit stronger than glyburide.

I'm sure I'll find something on it. I've read so much on diabetes in birds I should know off the top of my head. We know he was an all sunflower diet with no out of cage time. Very small, dirty cage.
