Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(
And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
...We just got back.. I had an appointment with a hand specialist at 1pm.
and the kids had a 2pm appointment time.
The "you're number one" finger on my left hand is locking up ( I am also left handed) I get up after sleeping only to fing my finger is bent over,where the tip is just about touching the palm. I have to "concentrate" and will it to extend..there is no "fluid" movement to it..it just pops up and extend. A few says ago, I hand to grab it with my right hand and force it to pop and extend..it hurt like hatais..
Anyway I went to an urgent care facility Saturday and has x-rays taken ( prolly going to need surgery) an had an appointment today to see what my options are..I ended up cancelling MY appointment to be sure the kids got seen today lol..they are more important to ME,than I am to myself
Soooo..both were in separate carriers,in the back seat,facing each other.
LOL...this is the first time I EVER heard Amy say..." HI BB...how are you???" I almost spit my coffee as I drove lol She did a lot of 'zon gibberish while Beebs chirped,and sang,and TALKED " BB a good boy!..BB a good boy??" They really like their ride.
The doc looked at Amy first..She said her heart and lungs sound excellent..dhe weighed in at 486 g's,same as last check-up. BUT she noticed a slight "growth" over one of her noses I cannot think on how she might have hurt herself. The only thing that comes to mind,is the night she made the attempt to fly from her mansion,to BB's condo..she may have smacked herself in her face..the only thing I saw was her climbing down to the floor. She trimmed Amys' tootsies and gave her short sleeves on her arms. She still had remnants of a clip from ALLPETS ( the doc did say they did a horrible job,trimming too short.. I wont go back there again for grooming)
She even brought up me asking about training Amy for free flight the last time we were there. I asked about her heart and lungs being capable of handling the stress of learning. The doc did say that if we did do a "test" there now,she would still be panting and breathing harder coz she is "out of shape" now,and the stress of the exam would make it hard to determine if she was well enough. She told me to start slowly ( the hand-drop a couple feet to make her wave her arms some) To do it just for a few minutes a couple times a day to start with...then with the next wellness check,she would be more capable of giving a better diagnosis.
So she gave the thumbs up to begin a light exercise program,keeping it up til the next exam.
As far as BB...she said he was in fantastic shape. He has very good muscle tone over his keel,,STILL has a couple pieces of baby clothes on . She didn't shorten his sleeves,but did his tootsies.
AND he made her laugh lol..after she was done with the trimming,he immediately ran up her arm to her shoulder,and yelled in her ear " BB a good boy??...BB a good boy??".
I'm just concerned now with Amy's noses
