Thank you all again! It is good to know you care so much :hug8:
She's pigging out right now. Her crop by bedtime gets so puffed out! She's gained a bit of weight. Dr. Rhoda Stevens is an avian vet and said a hysterectomy would not help as they do not remove the ovaries.

This is what Kita's Avian Vet determined after he did the endoscopy and got the biopsies back..... he said her ovary was full of broken and dying follicles... the ovaries are attached directly to the vena cava so they don't remove them due to the extremely high risk of the bird hemorrhaging to death, and with the ovaries still present, they can still produce eggs that could sit in the abdominal cavity... not good.... it is a very tough situation

I just saw this thread... Saroj, you and Emily remain in my thoughts and prayers..... I am so sorry you guys are going through this... sending you lots of love and good thoughts. Emily is so lucky to have you! :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Thanks all!
Dianne, her left leg went limp again just now while I was on the phone with the vet. She said we should do an xray either tomorrow or monday depending on how she is doing. So now I must decide when is best to go. Advantage of monday is that my regular vet will be back. What would you do?

If they do the xrays tomorrow, can they send them to your vet and/or contact her for her opinion?

Thanks Mercedez! I made an appt for her xray tomorrow!Great idea you had - I'll ask the vet to call my vet and discuss her findings with her. So that is settled!:)
