ernie, a yellow indian ringneck
i have a 5 week old indian ringneck and iā€™ve been such a stress case ever since i got him on monday. i took him to the vet on wednesday because i was hearing sneezing, although no discharge, and it freaked me out. the vet said his lungs sounded clear and his vitals were good and she prescribed an antibiotic, which heā€™s had 3 doses of and has 7 seven days left on. at 1 he had his most recent feeding, and i noticed heā€™s closing his eyes while iā€™m filling up the syringe with more food. i texted an avian vet service and a licensed avian vet told me this is normal and shouldnā€™t be a bad sign. he ate pretty eagerly, and cried very loud for his food, but iā€™m still worried. iā€™ve been SUPER careful with literally every aspect of his care because iā€™m so afraid his immune system isnā€™t strong enough to handle anything happening. my green cheek passed a few months ago due to a respiratory infection, and i couldnā€™t bare to lose this little guy too.
