i have both here but am afraid to use on bird

It is OK to use on a bird. We gave Cindy Nebulizer treatments for a year. We'd put her in a dog crate covered in a towel and let the mist fill the crate with her in there.

Cough syrup??? Sheeesh!!! Personally......... they've technically given up the bird. If it was me he would not be going back.

Amazon (blue) is breathing a lil better and has more energy seems alot stronger...am going to get a couple hrs sleep and give him more fluids..i will do this every 2 hrs thank you everyone for your quick help :hug8:

Tanya, how are things today? Hope you are OK as well as the bird with all the lack of sleep that you must be getting. How is he this morning? holding his own I hope. If it is something serious going on and the infection with blocked sinuses are secondary to it you will at least have given him a good starting chance to recover. God bless. :hug8:

10 am here called vet am going in at 11am he has alot more energy but is still breathing poorly...poor guy he has not been out of cage in 16 yrs and here i am every 3 hrs toweling him and giving him fluids...although in between when i go in to check on him he comes to side of cage and lays his head up agingt it so i can pet him...i wish i could help make them understand there is another level to caring for your parrot(social diet enrichment ect ect)that will be my goal if he gets better to try to deucate them to better care for Blue(i do believe they love him) Thanks will post when we get back from vets

OMG Tanya, he hasn't been out in 16 years?? He's going to have a whole host of problems, probably pooling his in lungs from no exercise. Poor, poor guy. How in the world are they going to take care of him when they can't afford the vet?

I hope he's allright! 16 yrs and no out of cage time? You need to see if they truly love this bird they'd give him up for a new life!

You are doing such a great job. Hopefully you will be able to convay the importance of them changing their care habits in a way they understand. We are praying for a good visit to the vet!

Hope all turns out well, I know it will take time. Still hoping for the best.

Please keep us posted.

I hope things go well at the vet's and that this Amazon can be saved. I'm wondering what kind of diet this bird has been on for all these years. I have a hunch but hope I am wrong. Amazons are not the perch potatoes people make them out to be. Given space and opportunity and our Amazons move around a lot! Kept constrained to a cage and health problems are bound to develop. Thank you for doing your best for this creature.

Many prayers and good thoughts that all goes well today.

Mystics Mom · 4/16/10

Well we are home ..has chest infection...am going to be giving Baytril 2xs a day keep track of fluids and eating weigh every day and i can try breathing treatment to see if it helps with breathing keep cage at 85 and just keep giving supportive care and hope the antibotic kicks in and starts to work...Blue is not in good shape it not just the infection the vet thinks it is secondary to not being active and prob not proper diet for yrs.... :hug8:

for Blue

sewing4eight · 4/16/10

I hope you are able to explain the seriousness of this to the owners- and how to prevent this in the future if Blue happens to make it. You are such a great person!!! Praying for Blue's health and your strength while you rehab him to good health!

Mystics Mom · 4/16/10
