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.
