Blu was cleared for his fungal infection, and I was able to leave the country. We did one last test for a protozoal infection, but he passed that as well.
Blu is generally better, but he is still low energy overall. He typically does not leave his cage except for maybe one a day to go visit his brother. He can fly but his ability to do so has extremely deteriorated. The usual energy and agility I know he is capable of isn't there anymore. I haven't weighed him recently but I can tell he is still overweight despite being on a pellet/veggie diet since I've owned him. I added more seed per the doctor's request as well.
I started taking him out of the cage to try to do some flying and target training in hopes of getting his strength back. My hopes are this is temporary and is a side effect from being sick. But it still begs so many questions. Why did his normal flora infect him in the first place? Why did he see such a significant gain in weight and a loss of energy, even after being cleared of any infections? Is he deteriorating, is he hurting, is there something I can do for him? I can't find any similar reports from people online, and the vet can't determine much else either.
I wont lie I'm still very concerned, but for now I'm just happy that he pulled through what could have been a fatal illness. So we're just enjoying the days with each other and being grateful for his health.
