Hi there!
So i have an AGP
I believe he is 10 or 11 yrs.. He is a rehome, they told me he was about 5 years old and ive had him for about 6 years or so.
We have been struggling with seizures since we got him. They did seem to clear up for months at a time.
Hes always been a bit clumsy.. Anyway his seizures happen only when he sleeps.
I live in a small area so vets have just put him on dmg and such. He us now on something that goes in his water and is a drug.. My vet is unsure about a possible brain tumor, but with all the reading i do on African greys, seizures seem to be common. He had a really bad seizure a week ago. He was unabke to use his legs for 3 hours amd wasn't responding to well. I thought i was going to lose him. Im trying everything that i can.
Hes a picky eater but love papayas. Hes a pellets not seed and gets green apples, watermelon, eggs, green grapes, corn, and peas. He doesn't like most veggies. I have him on a calcium supplement now as well. Not sure how long it would take if calcium is his issue. He also now has a full spectrum uv light. Anyway now when he sleeps he jerks around and puts his wings out and stuff. Lately he has a hard time. And vets aren't sure. Again im in a small area the vets cant do major testing. Does anyone have these issues? Please read everything before commenting. People see seizures and scream go to the vet... But they dont read.. And please be kind. My boy is very muched loved and taken care of. He sleeps im a small cage with the perch pretty much on the floor because of his seizures. He has a big day cage and he is out almost everyday all day. His night cage is beside my bed. My little guy and I need advice.
