psittacosis, a very harmful disease that a parrot can get, unfortunately got a vet sick, too. The disease is transmitted apparently through the mouth of the parrot, because he gave the bird mouth-to-mouth after his respiration had stopped, and had no one else to help him out. The vet is embarrassed to say that information, but it happened. Now THAT'S a dedicated vet in my eyes. You're willing to give my bird mouth to mouth if my bird dies? Dang.
I think i'll be seeing this vet from now on.

Wow! Did the bird live? Do you know how the vet is doing? That is some serious dedication! A vet that cares more about saving the bird than getting infected. Sign me up!

Unfortunately the bird died, went into respiratory distress. But he tried like heck to keep that bird alive.
