Coco a yna
I've been suffering from the flu for a couple of weeks now and Coco has been hanging out in my bed with me quite a bit. On Tuesday he looked a little lethargic and wouldn't eat. I knew something was wrong right away when I went to his cage to get him out for his bedtime move to his sleeping cage. I was so worried until the next morning when I could get him to the vet as soon as they opened. The vet took blood and a stool sample for a culture and sent him home with doxycyclin and said if he didn't eat by Thursday to bring him back. He has been eating very little - a pecan and a few pellets every now and then but not even a whistle or peep out of him since Tuesday.
The blood work came back fine but we're still waiting on the culture. I asked the vet if he could have got sick from me but the vet said it's not likely since birds don't get colds. I just can't help but wonder though how coincidental it is that this happened just when I'm as ill as I am. I sure hope my little guy gets well soon as it's so pitiful watching him so sleepy and quiet rather than his usual noisy rambunctious self. Not the Christmas I was hoping for.
