Goofy is positive for ABV. We have decisions to make. I don't want to make them.
Oh no, I'm so, so sorry...I was just totally discounting ABV since the first test was negative for it, I figured it was negative...Does your CAV think that Goofy has a chance at shedding the virus? I ask that because Goofy is pretty sub-clinical, with his only outward sign/symptom being the anorexia, so that's a definite positive. I don't think that you mentioned Goofy showing any neurological or CNS symptoms...I don't know what your CAV is recommending, but in my own experience at the Rescue, our CAV has always recommended separating the positive bird from the rest of the negative birds, just as a precaution, and has not ever recommended Euthanasia in a positive bird that is sub-clinical for CNS/neurological symptoms (though it's highly unlikely that your other birds are positive, as ABV isn't easily transmittable to other parrots, thank god)...If I remember correctly, the incubation period for PDD is around 90-days, so if Goofy shows no CNS signs in that time period, then usually that means that they are not PDD positive as well...I've not had to deal with this for a while, so I'm trying to remember the last case of ABV we had, it was a Cockatiel, and he was passing undigested seeds in his droppings and was not eating, but those were the only outward symptoms, no CNS or neurological symptoms, and he did not develop PDD and was fine with supportive care that included daily tube-feedings and sub-cu fluids...He started eating again on his own and gained a good 30 grams in about two weeks after he stopped passing whole seeds in his feces...
I'm so very sorry, but this isn't necessarily a death-sentence, I'm sure you know that, especially since Goofy isn't showing any signs of PDD at all, that's a very positive sign...Whatever you guys decide to do, we're here for you...
