I have had 18 year old, Buddy (yellow nape Amazon) for 10 years and have never seen him sick. So please tell me if you have an idea what it might be.. I can't see the vet until tomorrow.
He has been a little off and on since December. I went away for 2 weeks on vacation and my caretaker called and said he looked sick so I had my vet take him for the remaining time. The vet said it was a simple respiratory infection and administered fluids and antibiotics.
.. It seems not to have gone away.. just kind of kept in the background. Now he has diarrhea and still looks like breathing is more effort than it should be. He still is normal in other ways, but he does seem to be sleeping a lot more during the day.. I thought I was just keeping him up too late.
Does any of this sound like something you are familiar with?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thx, Mandy
