Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry I could not update sooner. Boomer is doing a lot better today. He is almost back to his hyper-active, feisty self. He's appetite is back in full force, so that's good. I noticed he clings to me very close, even more than usual. He napped clinging to my neck almost all today. I let him sleep so he could get his all of his strength back. I'm taking the day off tomorrow since I haven't called in for a long while. I want to make sure he is all well.
Giving him the oral meds has become challenging because now that he's starting to bite harder. So I used the toweling technique (thanks for the tip WBAP). I think he resented that a little because he purposely flew to my shoulder and pooped on me twice today (he never does this anymore).
Mayden, did you find out why Merlin vomited the clear liquid? It's very similar to Boomer's symptom but I still don't know what might have caused it. I've been racking my brains and came up with:
1. Questionable eggs I bought. I gave him a bit of boiled egg the night before he puked. He's had eggs before but maybe this batch was not good. I ate one today just to see, and I actually do feel dizzy and sick. I don't know if it's a mind trick, but I'm throwing those eggs out.
2. I was sick with a cough and cold all week and Boomer likes to sneak in kisses sometimes. I might have passed him on some bacteria
3. He nibbled on mineral deposits around the kitchen faucet. He's done that before though.
So far, that's all I have. I'll be getting the results tomorrow, and anxious what the blood and stool test results show. I'll share what I find then. Thank you again for checking in on Boomer. Give an extra scratch to your birds from me and Booms.
