Please keep my sweet little cloud in your thoughts

Awww I'm so sorry to hear Nube had an accident. I think there's not much more you could have done. But hey, sounds like he's on the mend. Great news. Give the little guy some extra AA smooches from us!

Also I really see what you mean about the colouration being different depending on the picture. I always thought he was all blue/grey, but here he looks like the sky! Beautiful!

Also I really see what you mean about the colouration being different depending on the picture. I always thought he was all blue/grey, but here he looks like the sky! Beautiful!

In sunlight his blue patches shine jade. He truly is unique and beautiful. I can never get it on picture how beautiful he is, it´s a shame, I wish you could all see it.

Funny story, I said before about the antifungal staining yellow... well... ... after I fed him it, I needed to wipe his beak... forgot to snap a bit of tissue off before I started, couldn´t do it with one hand... I look around and typical, my boyfriend has tossed his Tshirt on the sofa and left it lying around well, stuff him, I´ll wipe Nubes beak on that. Perfect. Fast forward to me tidying up... I pick the shirt up again... and it´s mine!!! Talk about karma! Hopefully it washes out, I only bought it the other day...

Get better soon Nube!

I'm so sorry to hear about Nubes injury but I'm glad to hear he's doing so well now. Like others have said you not a bad mom, in fact I think you're an excellent bird owner.

 

[Mahi]

Sorry to hear about your birdie. I hope he gets better asap. Will sure keep him in prayer.

 

[Birdbabe]

Get better quickly Nube!

 

[Ulis_Beast]

I'm sure he'll be to full health in no time in your care.

 

[sunnysmom]

I hope he's better soon!

 

[MrEggJnr]

GET BETTER NUBE! Kumo and Yuki want you to be healthy and hopefully happy with Lapis again.

 

[Flokirocks]

Hope Nube will be better soon! He's in the finest of hands!
What a pretty boy

Just reading. How is the little guy today? I'm sorry he got hurt, but I'm so glad you could whisk him to the vet. Still looking for a closer avian vet here. He is SO beautiful!

How is the little guy today?

He is taking his medicine, and hes slept twice today. He´s probably bored, and missing his girlfriend
I have noticed him pacing, which I try to interupt. It´s sad, but hopefully only temporary.
Follow up is in just a couple of days, I just hope when we go back, the vet sees good progress. I have not been looking because he gets stressed with me holding him to look closely, so I have just been medicating him, then letting him sit and relax with me without anyone poking or prodding him.
I have not noticed any feathers in the tray. I did find that odd poking out feather though, had a little dried blood on like he´d yoinked it out.

I'm so glad you could whisk him to the vet.

I am very lucky to have found this vet because my previous vet was closed during both non routine visits over the last year and during both wild bird emergencies.
I hope you are able to find a closer vet, it really does help reduce the stress.

i am sorry. hope Nube gets better

We are just home from the followup.

Vet says that he is healing nicely, though he has picked at one side at some point (that is the side that had the dried blood, but it is healing dispite the picking). If he keeps at it, he´ll need a collar. Appointment for next week to see how things go.
I got some itraconazole (antifungal) for him to take twice a day, to carry on with the antiinflamitory one per day and the antibiotics twice per day.
He sprayed the antibiotic spray again (I thought he said antiseptic last time, but it is in fact an antibiotic spray). He said best I don´t do it daily as it really messes his feathers up, as you can see on all the pics I have posted on this thread. We shall see...
He is back in his little temp cage, sleeping in the corner on the floor, he has done that since I put him in there...
Oh and the total cost of todays appointment was just 3.50 (4USdollars and a little change) for the medicines, so that was nice

 

[Jisoo]

glad he's getting better!

 

[Zara]

ready to go

looking gorgeous
sleepy after being handled
back at the car
ready to go home

 

[Ulis_Beast]

This is great news..
Hopefully he won't need a collar.

 

[Zara]

Hopefully he won't need a collar.

The vet is a little reluctant to put one on him as ¨they often rub the neck (at the front) and ruin the feathers there¨. I am home a lot, so I can interupt a lot of the attention he is giving that area. So yea, hopefully it won´t come to needing a collar.

 

[Leih]

Aww I'm sorry I missed this! Sounds like he's doing better but I definitely know how you feel. So relieving that the vet took a look. So you're thinking right now that it's a skin problem that he picked at?
