Yesterday afternoon she played so long and so much, we played the finger game (she loves beaking and tasting my fingers, turning my hand over and walking on it, checking out each and every fingernail I have) and trying to be sly enough to make it up to my shoulder, but I have stopped allowing her on my shoulder, so we play the "who is faster and more stubborn" game.
She played with her swing/gym for a couple of hours. Chewing one side then seeing the other side moving and had to run over and chew it, then back again, and again. It was like she just couldn't get enough of it! She was being so active for so long I started watching her carefully and noticed she was breathing pretty hard.
About 5:30 we had dinner together and I was still seeing her "huffing" for breath a bit, so I ended playtime and put her in her cage. She seemed to calm down and was ready to go to sleep by 7:00, so I covered 3 sides of her cage and just watched her sleep for another couple of hours. Her breathing seemed "normal" by about 9:00 so I covered the rest of her cage and went to bed, just figuring this was due to playing so much more than she has been used to and since she had calmed down she was fine again.
This morning when I got up she was breathing really heavy, open beak, tail bobbing with every breath, and acting like she is choking or trying to vomit but nothing is coming out! She ate a little fruit and a few seeds, drank some water, but refused a nutri-berry! She loves nutri-berries and normally will do anything for one!
I can't call her vet for another 35 minutes, and if I remember right it's her day off!
She has only been off the antibiotics since the 15th and has seemed fine. Her last check-up was last Thursday the 16th and she was fine! She was X-Rayed, blood work done, fecal sample, everything came back in the acceptable range.
How can this happen? She has been kept warm, no other animals (except my 2 cats) hasn't been outside, no strange people (she doesn't like any one but me touching her)
