Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(
And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.



He had a full check-up. Doc listened to his heart and lungs,examined the vent area and his nose's,checked for muscle tone of his chest. He is wayyyy over weight! The heaviest he has EVER been..a whopping 543 g's

He started to stress big time,to the point where he was weezing/making noise as he struggled and was breathing. I tried to comfort him talking and stroking his head and face.
The doc worked as fast as she could..these people there are marvelous on how thorough and what they know about birds..I guess that's why the place is called Kensington BIRD and animal hospital.
She put Amy back in his carrier as I talked to him. He was still panting and breathing hard...then he collapsed!

fifteen minutes later I was allowed to see Amy as the doc just sat there,never taking her eyes off Amy.
The Doc said Amy is "middle aged" and parrots can and do developed health issues..heart and liver especially.Amy "may" have a heart issue. The blood test will give "some" idea,but not the full scope of the problem.He is also getting x-rays done today.
The doc suggested I leave Amy with her so she can keep an eye out,and said she'll have some free time this afternoon to do the x-rays and will get some lab results in.
BB is in good health except for his poo problem

Say a prayer for my green monster please..
