Been watching Jasper carefully for the past week and I've seen that mucus in his beak again each day. Just once, for a couple minutes, but last night his mouth was full of it for about 5 min. Made a vet appointment immediately.

Turns out he has a yeast infection (they did another crop wash), which is common after a bacterial infection. So glad I listened to my gut and brought him in for another visit instead of just ordering more meds for him.

He's on the anti-fungal meds for 2 weeks then another crop wash.

Hope this is it!!

Awww Katie, I'm sorry to hear Jasper is still struggling. I hope this round of meds will do the trick.

Poor Jasper. I'm really hoping that these new meds get him back on his feet.

Thanks everyone. I feel so badly everytime he's at the vet. Luckily he recovered quickly after the appointment but it can't be easy on him getting this done so often :( I'll keep you posted.

Poor Jasper! I hope he gets well soon. He's lucky you have been watching him so carefully.
