Dexter has pneumonia! He had a chest xray and it showed pneumonia in his lungs. His heart is enlarged and his liver is enlarged. Dr. Gold, avian vet, put him on Baytril liquid-oral. He drew a complete blood panel and an asper titier. He will call me with results tomorrow. Titer will take a couple days. We went over Dex's diet, he said it was excellent. However I am only aloud to give him 1 grape a day. He said the only way to guarantee pesticide free is to grow your own. Grapes are Dex's favorite! I was giving orgaic peanuts in the shell as treats. No more. Dr. Gold said organic can carry more then regular human grade because they have no protection. So no more inshell peanuts here!
Dr Gold try to open Dex's wings. He said they are frozen to his his sides. I told him that he never stretches or opens them. He said he has scar tissue at his elbows that have frozen the wings. He does not have chest muscle mass because he doesnt flap. He does climb but nothing strenous.
He is a little light wt-418gr. We have to keep him warm and make sure he gets lots of sleep. I will update with blood results hopefully tomorrow. Thankyou all for your well wishes and prayers.
