Re: Lucky to the vet
Julio gets a sinus flush at least once each winter, commonly after or during an extended extreme cold spell (low humidity). Cell Phone Vet Care Sucks!

Re: Lucky to the vet
Salty's had nasal flushes 2x. Once when I first got him, to help clear a nasal infection, done by the vet. One other time, I did it on the vets recommendation; not something I want to try again! He hates it = bites and bad attitude afterwards.

Re: Lucky to the vet
I had an amazon with chronic nasal infections that required periodic flushing. She was quite old and severity increased over time. Hope that is not the case with Lucky, but in any case the issue was manageable.

Re: Lucky to the vet
This is the second day of giving Benadril to Lucky.
So far no significant change. What worries me about a nasel flush is how traumatic it might be for him.

Re: Lucky to the vet
I was never present during nasal flushes with Sally, old vet did such things incognito during drop off. Cannot imagine a bird enjoying such treatment, and they probably need to be fully awake during procedure.

Re: Lucky to the vet
I've done nasal flushes under the direction of my vet. I don't think they are that stressful for the bird, when done by professionals.
Hope your baby is ok

Re: Lucky to the vet
I think he is sneezing less. Now he has been up for a time and no doubt drank some of the spiked water his sneezing fits are much shorter.

Re: Lucky to the vet
Really never been a believer in 'spiked water treatments.' No way to know how much they get any given day.
The very short time it takes to flush Julio has me believing it was so quick he barely had time to get mad about it. A couple of sneezes and he was find.

Re: Lucky to the vet
Never used benadryl. Feel unlikely that st 21 years would suddenly develop allergies...
