Bingo is going to the doctor

[LaManuka]

Two weeks on the milk thistle Rx..
Still no improvement
Weak, clumsy, skinny.

I have found something that he eats but it’s not good for him.
But it’s something anyway.
And I…. It was by accident more than anything else but I got him to eat more pasta.

Back in the early days I used to let Bingo take food out of my mouth. He loved it and may have had something to do with his strong bond with me.
But haven’t done in long time after learning it’s not good for him.
But anything that gets food into him is better than not eating.

Also went and bought Zupreem fruit blend pellets in hopes of getting something nutritious in him.

In the evening I carry him outside to get fresh air and sun for a bit. He spends so much time in the window he seems fascinated with the outside and he can’t possibly fly in his condition.

My heart goes out to you, Wes, and my most sincere prayers continue for both you and Bingo

My heart goes out to you, too, and bingo. Seeing a loved one, no matter the species, seemingly slide downhill is frustrating.

Big hugs sounds like you're doing your best for him, and he surely knows it.

When I was 10 both my parents had very serious cancer. My brother and I went to live with my aunt and uncle while my parents underwent treatment. I had only one bird at the time: sweet precious Tweety, my first bird, a sweet budgie hen. My aunt was very phobic of birds, so Tweety couldn't come with me. My grandparents took her in for the few months everything was up in the air for. Everything worked out, both parents beat the cancer that time, but when we went to go pick up my Tweety bird, I was *horrified* to see my Grandpop had taught her a new trick: she would poke her head in his open mouth and pick his teeth

She never got sick from it or anything like that, so if Bingo will take noodles from your mouth, I say go for it. He's not picking your teeth, and I assume you are careful with it now that you know it's not a fully safe idea not only is that nutrition, but it's an emotional boost for him too. Which, state of mind matters a whole whole lot when dealing with illnesses and that sort of thing
