Im at my wits end, ive had my featherpants now for 6 days and its been one avian vet trip after another.
I took her the first time when she was acting a little bit off, she was super sleepy and not playing as much, and seemed to be having some issues breathing… so off to the avian vet she went, she was diagnosed with psittacosis given a crop full of high energy goop and given a shot (im to go back weekly for the next 6 weeks for doxy injections), she also had a mild yeast infection.
She picked up a bit yesterday, but today she has gone downhill again! Super sleepy and just puffed up in front of her food bowl. Off to the vet she went again, but they didn’t think that there was much they could do, she seemed better than tuesday, the yeast infection had cleared up, all they could offer was to admit her for constant crop feedings but considering that she was eating then it was a bit unnecessary, we took her home and cranked the heating up (reverse cycle a/c, its about 27c in the room atm, we are going to move her upstairs later in a toasty 30-35c room) but now she is wallowing around the bottom of the cage, only climbing up the side to protect her house from my partner.
I don’t know what else to do, am I being super sensitive?! Is this just something she needs to ride out? Im sure the Vet thinks im mad dragging her back every 5 minutes L has anyone else dealt with this illness? Or doxy injections? could this also be attributed to stress? the bottom of the cage thing is freaking me out!
