Wow thanks gain for all the comments folks.
Just got back from the vet yet again.
More tube feeding, more antibiotics, more fluid removed.
Vet feels that the hysterectomy is still needed. We have scheduled it for 10 days out while we try to strengthen her some and continue researching things.. Vet says waiting longer than that will just make her weaker.
Klebsiella - no test done for this, but there does not appear to be any lung problems, sounds like this is a form of pneumonia?
The fluid is clear not yellow as was described on the peritonitis page and there has never been any sign of egg parts in the bird or the cage- dont know if that rules out peritonitus or not??? I will pass on that link thanks.
HERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD: At the vets, we put her in her carryall while we talked about treatments. Then we took her back out to give her the meds before she went home. Inside the carryall on the floor were two round spheres maybe 1/4 inch in diameter of what look like solid gelatinous opaque white material. Our first thought was that these were unformed eggs. But when the vet sliced them in half there was no center to them or any visible structure - they were just a uniform white semi-firm gelatin like material( like big tapioca spheres). Vet is going to do a cell slide examination of them. Anyone know what this is?
again thanks for the notes everyone
