Today everyone took the trip to visit the vet. A 5 1/2 hour adventure. Everyone's gram stain was fine. Buzz and Ziggy are underweight. Jasper is overweight. Buzz did great giving kisses while trying to bite the vet. The Dr. said he can hear more than he likes in Ziggy's breathing, not enough to be concerned and also not surprising since he came from a smoking environment. Jasper the poor guy needed claw and beak work done. We also had his wings clipped. I really didn't want to do it but after talking to the Dr. I decided it might keep him from injury. He is such a good flyer and horrible lander, along with being scared of us that for now I think it is safer. Jasper also has two irritated spots, one on either side of his beak. The Dr. said he thinks he was rubbing his beak and did it. He said to keep watch of it. Does that sound accurate?
I'm looking for good low fat treats suggestions to try for Jasper. We've been dropping treats in his dish throughout the day to Hopefully change his attitude toward us. We had been using nuts but because of his weight no more nuts allowed.
Jasper had his band cut off that was a bit snug. Is there a way to find out about him from his band #?
I'm thankful our freezing rain stopped so travel was good and that everyone was calm throughout. They are all dozing in cages now after having a bit to eat.
