Hello there, new to the forum! This week has been a frustrating and expensive time taking my 4 year old conure Tootsie to different vets (yes both vets are avian vets). The problem with him (unsexed though), is that he has extreme weakness in his body after flying. Almost like tremors, can barely stand, but is totally normal after 10 min or so.
I took him in for a check up and blood work. His liver enzymes came in elevated and lytes were off. I was referred to another vet to proceed for further testing. After paying a hefty visit, still no answers and they want to take Tootsie for an x-ray. I love my bird, but I also don't have a endless financial supply to pay for random testing. Plus I'm scared that dragging him back and forth for appointments can stress him out. He does need more exercise, but is on a diet of roudybush pellets, fruits/veg and sometimes seeds. What do I do?
