Hi all,
I have a rescue African Grey. In the past week, she has gone downhill very quickly. I use deepdale vets as I find them very kind, but they haven't got the facilities to hospitalise a bird (and they do think she needs hospitalisation).
Unfortunately every exotic vet I have rung either (a) isn't back in until next week or (b) furloughed. Neither Scott's or Acorn are accepting new clients but both have the facilities for birds.
Scott's told me to email back in a few weeks time but I am honestly not sure she will make it through that time. I've tried St Albans (Redbourne) too.
She is now improving in terms of eating and drinking and she has been prescribed 15mg veraflox pradofloxacin and has had two tablets so far. I have to crush them up and syringe them.
I've been waiting for blood results for three days and now the vets is closed and I have called ten or so times a day and still to no avail and she is also squeaking a little bit when she breathes but it isn't all the time.
I'm no closer to the truth of what's going on and wondered if anyone had any ideas of what's causing this?
P. S abdominal xray showed up clean and she was put under to get blood which was an extremely high risk
I'm so lost and exhausted from this week and she is fighting so hard and so am I but I'm losing hope
