Keep Honey in your prayers - Emergency Vet Visit
[EDIT: PLEASE KEEP HONEY IN YOUR PRAYERS. See post #4 for story]
Hello everyone. If you followed my previous thread, youād remember that I took Honey to a vet on Thursday because one of his nares was blocked. The vet cleaned it up and it went away however it has been slowly forming again.
Since I live in India, itās been incredibly difficult finding an avian vet after my previous one moved away. Well Yesterday, I finally found an avian vet. I called in to the clinic and asked if I could get an appointment and although they were busy and it is Sunday today, they said ok.
The Vet was incredibly good and actually knew what he was talking about! He said that Honey has Rhinolith or nasal stones and that it may be because of Vit A deficiency. He gave medications - vit A drops, melonex syrup and doxycycline (3mg). He said that if it doesnāt clear up by Tuesday, I should bring Honey back in the morning and theyāll put him on a mild sedative and do flushing. After which, Iāll have to give nasal drops to him for a period of time.
He was also telling me that sedatives are always risky for birds and Iām so nervous about it. Hopefully itāll be all okay...
They also nebulised Honey for sometime. He seemed to like it a lot haha.
Hopefully, everything goes well. The Vet also said that Honey is most probably a male (no testing yet - may get it done later).
I know this may not be a *big* deal but Iām still nervous. Heās such a small lil guy and I donāt want anything to happen to him.
