Sending good thoughts!
That is true, enigma. He has had no access to the strawberries for 3 days now. I hope it was the strawberries. His poops looked just about normal before he went to bed. I decided not to nebulize him and I've laid off any "additives" in his food and drink today.
Rain, a vet came to see him on Friday. She took the jar of poops I collected over 2 days to send off for testing. Results should be back in about 5 days. There are no avian vets here for members of the public, but the vet said she knew the in-house avian vet at Durrell Zoo who she will consult with if necessary.
Actually that makes me feel much better... that it is "taking some time to heal." I won't be so impatient and worried that it's taking time.I think you know from his symptoms that something inflamed his gut, so it's not surprising that it's taking some time to heal.
That's so lovely of you!BTW lest it seem like something is amiss at my house: My birds are sick a lot because I intentionally adopt chronically ill birds. I don't get them healthy and then make them sick. (I always worry about this when I talk about all my experiences with weird illnesses.)
The upset went on for a while so it makes sense that recovery will take a while too. I'll be thinking of you and him!Actually that makes me feel much better... that it is "taking some time to heal." I won't be so impatient and worried that it's taking time.
