Hello! Every year I try to post a picture update of my sun conure, Boomer. I don't think I did one for 2017, so here's one I am happy to share for 2018. I thought it's a great way to mark a bit of recent good news. Last May, on his wellness exam, Boomer was diagnosed with 90% gram positive / 10% gram negative bacteria. He acted normal but I guess this could have escalated if left untreated. The bacteria is called Morganella which he says he could have picked up from anything - but most likely from veggies / fruits - even when they are washed well. A 10-day antibiotic treatment of Amikacin was prescribed. A few weeks ago, I took Boomer back for a follow up and another general wellness exam. I am happy to share that he aced his blood test. His culture test came back with 90% gram positive / 10% positive cocci which vet approves and is actually on par with his past cultures. Here's to my little technicolor chicken! Hope you like the pictures
