It has been extremely hot lately, and yesterday I caught my green cheek doing something that looked like panting on and off for about a minute or two. He made no noises, and his tail wasn't bobbing- but I fear it was breathing difficulty. I am worried this may be my fault, as it happened again today for a few seconds and I realized it was after I had used deodorant spray- though I don't think he's ever reacted like this before. I spray it in the bathroom with closed doors and open windows, and only return a few minutes after everything seems to have dissipated- is this still unsafe? I am getting non-spray deodorant immediately, and Fuji will be visiting the vet tomorrow to be safe.
I suppose my question is, could it simply be the deodorant? Heat? Or something else/ a mixture of both making him extra sensitive? And if anyone is familiar with what I should be asking the vet to do, that would be much appreciated. I do trust the vets, but everything happens in another room where I can't see- so I have no real idea what they do with him or if they might miss out any important checks. I also believe they are not purely avian vets either, so I just worry they might miss something.
I was referred to this particular practice by a purely avian vet a little further away, so I assume they are trustworthy- I really do just worry.
