Way to go Tyler!!!! You have some very special people in your life who love and care for you but I think you already know that.

When we arrived to pick him up and bring him to the vet, he just looked so relieved.. and my little nephew, who is a real 'boy' and 11 years old had taped a little piece of paper to his carrier with a gorgeous little flower he'd picked taped to it and he wrote something like 'we'll never forget you, we love you little buddy' and he even drew and colored a pink heart.. I've never seen him even TOUCH anything pink before

This says it all.

Thanks.. it really was so sweet that my nephew did that and we are rooting for him. Like I said earlier, I don't want him to suffer but obviously he wants to hang in there right now and fight and we'll help him with that, we just want to make sure he's not suffering.. Thanks guys.. god what a day.. horrible phone call at 9am about Tyler and we got home at 9pm!

Thanks again, Tyler thanks you too

. That was so sweet of your nephew. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad Tyler is doing better and got to avoid that surgery.

I'm sorry I just saw this---but I was so happy that Tyler is doing well. I will pray that he continues to improve and that he can be completely healed.

I think Tyler needs a DNA test as long as your getting blood work done. Prayers that he receives the best of care, the correct diagnoses and continues to improve.

I'm so happy for you Sarah!

When Lucky prolapsed she was also given a shot of Lupron at the time, but then my vet sent me home with an herbal blend that is similar in nature to Lupron in that it helps control their hormones. The big difference is that I can give it to her (by mouth) whenever she starts showing signs of being nesty instead of having to take her to the vet for shots. It's labeled Evitex blend, and might be worth asking about. She's been fine since then...we're going on 8 months since

Ok the specialist called this morning with good news that Tyler is ok.. he is the healthiest looking gray he has seen at that age and doesn't look his age.. he was very good, even noticed the last little bit of left over feathers growing in from when he plucked last time he had to wear that collar (from the last surgery) and asked if he was a plucker..
He does have a heart arrhythmia/murmur, he said it's a 'sinus arrhythmia' meaning it's ok but it's still 'off' making the anesthesia a little more worrisome and challenging but still necessary. He said it could be from the sunflower seed and peanut diet he'd been on befoe he came to live with us or if could be from infection or his age or hereditary..

He was sedated and had a little 'birdy-colonoscopy' deep inside his cloaca it was very irritated do the doctor took a biopsy, his cloacal tissue didn’t look saggy, he said it looked like, maybe, hyperplasia..
During the procedures apparently his heart rate went down but then immediatly then repositioning him (his wings, head and feet, moved the blood and brought his pressure back to normal.
They did scan for his legs to see what might help him the best and the doctor said he does not see any arthritis but he does have (like I thought) a VERY old fracture in his right leg that never healed properly and he said it looked like Tyler was probably just never even seen by a vet for it,. poor little guy. He said he might have ' 'nerve entrapment' from that, causing him the pain in his feet/toes.. which is why he walks on balled up fists


They are going to be putting him on several different meds including ‘meloxican’ (sp) and if that seems to help his pain he can be on that one at a lower dose chronically for pain for as long as he needs it. They may do the lupron but they think he is a male and it might not help as much (especially since he has never shown any signs of any sort of.. to be blunt, masturbation, or anything like that, ever, in all the years I've known him. but it's worth a shot.. I will mention the medication you told me about, Birdasaurus, thank you.

They are doing the blood workup and stuff and we should be able to go get him today unless something in the blood work comes back very bad.. so hopefully we can pick him up tonight...
