Well, thanx to Bee, Pita is going to the vet, for a consultation & testing about his feather picking. I have been writing down notes, so I don't forget to ask him about things, like:

metal toxicity
Giardia
Calcium deficiency
Zinc & lead levels

I'm definitly going to have another blood panel done, his last one was in November, but the plucking started in Feb.

I have to admit, I think it's a combination of my stress levels & mood, and hormones.

I broke down tonight after I put him to bed. I try so hard during the day to not be stressed, so after I put him to bed, I just lost it. It just kills me to think he may be doing this to himself because of me.

Then again it could have nothing to do with me.

I'm so sorry Pita is plucking. I know how heartbreaking it can be to feel like it's your fault, but it's not. You are doing everything you can. :hug8:
