- Umbrella Cockatoo- 15? years old..I think?
So, vet #2 isn't convinced that they are seizures, but he and vet #1 went to school together and are close friends (oy). I told him to call her if he wanted and he said he would. I only mentioned her name at the very end (after he mentioned it)....so there was no bias.
He also is going to post some videos on an international vet consult page (just in case--although he also thinks the behavior is sexual).
Today was HELL though, because after all of the seizure stuff, I asked if they wanted to give her a dose of the anti-fungal that the other vet prescribed (brought the bottle--single-handedly, I cannot administer).
The vet agreed and attempted---very slowly and carefully (nicely done, vet)...He also said there was no way I could give it at home after seeing her reaction to it (she's a gem in general, but she hates this medicine like nothing I have ever seen)...Many compliments on how good she was---even when getting her sinuses washed (but she certainly wiggled her head like a mad-woman when they attempted to give the meds...even when toweled).
She didn't aspirate it, some of it got into her nose through her mouth, so then she had to have 4 saline flushes and it was HELL.....I have never been so freaked out...
She is no longer coughing and sneezing, but for a bit it was like 20+ coughs/sneezes a minute and I about died (she is sleeping now and before she went to bed, she was eating and the coughs etc decreased to 0 per minute for over an hour)..We made it through... Overall, it was good that her sinuses were flushed, because I think there was a lot of junk in there before the meds..
WHAT A DAY...........
