Hey All!
Just some geewhiz info, to those who get upset when members jump in and beat your post with quarantining comments, it is most certainly for your best interest, as well as your fids. Please dont get mad, birds dont show feeling bad like we do. Also, unless you have a good savings account set up, or pet insurance, please dont get a parrot as an impulse purchase. To give you an example, my vet appointment, after all recommended test for a new fid, was close to 1100.00. Yes, one thousand one hundred dollars.
As you all know, I got my Hahn's Macaw, Romeo, exactly 2 weeks ago. And thank god he is in quarantine away from Mochi. I have some good news, we're on the mends, but to breakdown my day thus far. Recieved a call from my vet and Romeos white blood cell count was super high. I then called the place I got him at, so they can be on alert that their flock doesnt get sick. Within a day or two of us getting home, one nosrum was clogged then the next day, I was on birdy boogie patrol, (poor guy had snot bubbles out of the other one, and he had to breathe out of his beak). My vet got me in next day. Once we got into the vet, and he started antibiotics. We were given 30 days of ciprofloxin, for 1x day, at 0.02 ml/dose.that has seemed to clear up. During the endoscopy, the cam*showed a cyst or polyp in the back of his throat, a completely blocked nosrum, and a very inflamed throat.* Both nosrums are now clear at least. Romeo seems like he's on the mends and hes an amazingly sweet little thing. Even the vet and his techs said he was a total sweetie to work with, (Romeo yelled once, then just let them work).We have a follow up around the 18th or 19th to draw some more blood and see if the cell count dropped down.*So now we just wait for rest of results, and we have the follow up to get more meds. Fingers crossed all!
And on a different note, i just went back to work, and Mochi is sooo not pleased with this fact lmao! Plus little bugger was super hormonal. I think he may be a she, but i dont want to pluck feathers or draw blood just to find out the gender. So well just go with he. My hands are tore up, and we have developed cage territorial issues. Were working through this and im off today and tomorrow, so hes back to being his little endearing self.
