Hi, I'm new to this forum, just made an account because we're desperate and I don't know who and where to ask anymore.
Last week my quaker, Apollo, had a house incident which resulted in head trauma. X-rays showed nothing broken, he has no respiratory issues and no motor issues. We brought him home with a NSAIDs prescription to give him for five days.
But since then he's been sleeping a lot during the day, albeit being very alert and responding very well to stimuli while he is. He preens, he self scritches, he stretches his wings, he responds to our singing by standing to attention and giving us kisses, he guards me and my mother from my father, he still doesn't like us handling the tv remote. And he vocalizes, even though he of course doesn't sing.
He also seems to be more active than he should be at night.
Issue is, besides these moments, in his active phases he does nothing but look for food and water. Drank so much water at first his droppings looked like lakes.
That settled down a little in the following days but now he's started to regurgitate. First it was only at night, and since he was eating a lot we thought it was because he was gorging.
Then he started doing it around midday too and the vet prescribed him an antiemetic.
Neither oral Plasil nor intramuscular Cerenia worked, he still throws up. He tested negative to infections, still throws up. Mostly water these two days, he drinks and few seconds later throws it back up. It doesn't last the whole day, just a few select hours.
We're now trying to have him eat foods with lots of water to compensate for it but we don't know what else to do, our vet says a case like that after head trauma she had never seen til now and she'd be asking around and researching more.
Has anyone here seen something like this before? Is there anything I can do to help him through this while we figure it out?
