I know, it's been forever since I disappeared and unfortunately it's a health crisis with Max that reminded me you never know when you need a network of fellow crazy parrot parents! For the many members I've never chatted with, Max is a now 34 year old blue and gold macaw that decided 9 years ago that I was his new mom. I never wanted one of the large birds and I've always joked I'm not a macaw person, I'm a Max person, no matter what form he came in, he is no doubt my perfect parrot match
And apologies to everyone new to reading my novels... I babble! There you've been warned!
So reason I'm here.... we are in midst of testing and diagnosis, but things are looking more and more to Max having liver disease of some type. I'm here hoping someone has some experience to share of living with liver disease in your large parrot. Diet changes or restrictions that helped to control or stabilize liver disease? Medications that were effective? Meds that you'd never consider or suggest again? We don't have all answers to the specific what and why, but trying to catch up on new treatments that have shown promise.
I'll post the details as a response below, if anyone wants to read what we've done and know so far.
Thank you to anyone that can share their experience!
