Sneezing Scarlet

[Flynhigh]

Debbie,

Please continue to encourage Ryan to not give up , this is a huge commitment and responsibility for such a young man but one thing I've learned over the years is money will come and go but what's important is the effort and love we share with our companions. I'm sure you will find a vet with the answer's soon . I too had a beloved dog that I spent many thousands on to find and treat hip issues she was having , it wasn't dysplasia either and the specialist's were stumped. We were able to keep her comfortable but at only 6 she developed bone cancer in her right front leg , it was very aggressive and I lost her 3 months later. Despite all the problems I know in my heart she did understand I was doing everything I could to help. She was great friend and tore a huge hole in my heart when she passed but I do know she's happy and racing around like the pup I raised with no pain anymore.
On a happier note when Ryan smells the yogurt on Clyde's breath has Clyde regurgitated for him or a toy maybe? I noticed when my conure regurgitates it smells like yogurt. Other than the voice and breath does Clyde seem to be in any discomfort? I realise its difficult to tell with our birds but just wondering. Although I have no advise please know you have my support and hope that Clyde gets treated for his condition soon and your family gets to enjoy Clyde's company for many many years to come.

They sell probiotics at the pet stores. You can also feed active culture yogurt with no artificial sweeteners, and low added sugar. My birds eat the yogurt no problems. I would feed about a tablespoon , 2 to three times a week. That's not official lol.

Taking him back in Tuesday to first vet, Dr Jenkins who sees exotics only. Getting copies of all tests and results and treatments done so far. I will post them for you all then. Thank you again.

How is the poop?


(Just wondering if there is a problem at only one end or the entire digestive tract)

For my Umbrella Cockatoo (a little over 1 lb) I give 1/4 tsp powdered Bene-bac (mixed with unsweetened oatmeal +mashed banana 2x daily). This is not her only food-source-- it's something she enjoys (along with a healthy seed/pellet mix). DO consult eith a vet first!

Hi everyone! First post here. My son has a 5 year old Scarlet boy named Clyde. His 2 year old girl blue and gold that he shared his cage with died last February from Macaw Wasting disease . It was horrible. Had an autopsy done to verify. She was at Dr Jenkins, the vet for 3 days. He is an avian specialist. Back to Clyde.. Vet said he is most likely a carrier but healthy enough to fight it off. Clyde has had sneezing issues for months now with a swollen nasal cavity for months now. He had antibiotic shot, nasal flushes, and now antibiotics given thru a nebulizer in a large clear container for 30 minutes a day. Nothing helps. He has a purifier in his room. You can see that his sinus has stuff in it. Vet is at a loss. Ryan my son is 23 and he stresses so much that he is going to get sick and die especially after loosing Siri, the blue and gold. These are his kids and he spent over $8000. last year to care for them.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

My deepest condolences to you and Ryan for the passing of your blue and gold. Such losses are magnified by the trauma of wasting. One day the bright memories will become more compelling than sadness.

Dr. J is about the best you'll find in the San Diego area. Todd Cecil in La Mesa is also well known. My primary avian vet is Brian Loudis in Encinitas because I live in the Oceanside area. He's a protege of Dr. J and is superb with great bedside manner.

I'm assuming Clyde has seen either Cecil or Loudis for second opinion? If it is the practice in Escondido beginning with "A," please PM me if you'd like to hear a counterpoint....
