- One Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot
I have a 35 year old Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot named Huey who has been diagnosed to have a respiratory infection.
I have gone to an Avian Vet. Huey has been treated with 2 injections of Doxycycline. His condition did not improve.
Now, he is being treated with Enrofloxacin but he is not improving. Some days are better than others.
It is difficult to give Huey the medicine. I have put the medicine in a syringe and injected the medicine in a small piece of bread.
That worked for 2 days. But on the 3rd day, Huey would not eat the bread. I have injected the medicine in a blueberry, Huey only
ate the blueberry once. I have injected the medicine on a piece Ritz cracker (Huey loves Ritz crackers). So far, Huey is eating the Ritz.
I may also try to inject the medicine in a piece of popcorn if Huey tires of the Ritz.
Does anyone have any suggestions that could help Huey?
Thank You
