Okay, so I booked an appointment for my seven year old boy, Ju. He's been regurgitating on and off for a couple of days, but I decided to just keep an eye on him because I thought I might've just been overprotective, because boys sometimes regurgitate their food because they're sometimes in the mood for courting.
Anyways, he's not fine, so he's seeing the avian vet tomorrow at 2:50. He either has sour crop or an impacted crop. He's stressed and has been spreading his wings a bit. He's been regurgitating, but he keeps swallowing it again. His face is damp (cheeks, forehead, eyes), and he keeps rubbing his face.
I'm going to put him in a hospital cage, but I'll keep him in the aviary with the others. I think there's some respiratory involvement since I think he may have aspirated a bit on the regurgitation.
I need advice until his appointment. I'm going to withhold food, and maybe give him a bit of grass in the evening. I'm also going to keep him warm, and maybe cover him, and diffuse some eucalyptus oil (it's pure, unadulterated) to help his breathing. Any other advice? There aren't any fibres in their enclosure, as far as I know, that could've blocked his crop. I'm really worried. I'm going to catch him now to put him in the hospital cage, and I'll smell his breath.
