Ok, So Walter (my 39 year old TAG) will be going to his well visit vet appointment on the 16th and I was trying to figure out what questions I should ask as well as considering whether or not to have him DNA sexed. This is the first visit in a long time that I feel like he is healthy and strong again. I also don't know what the vet might consider from her end. We were only able to get in with a Avian Vet in the last couple of years and Walter was not in good enough health at the time to do any sort of optional testing (due to a hematoma that caused him to lose a fair amount of blood). He is now healthy and active, eating well, on. a good diet overall. He has finally started to put on a little weight (he was very lean) and his arthritis seems to be fairly well managed through his adapted cage, regular PT exercises and then occasional medicine when needed. He is nearly blind but the Vet has previously said there is not much to be done for that and frankly he has been that way for awhile. What may the vet suggest? What should I ask about? Also what is everyone's experience with sexing using a DNA sample? I don't want to stress and/ or risk him for anything but I am curious. Walter has Never laid an egg but his behaviors seem to lean ever so slightly female IMO.
