She seems to be holding her own. She has not laid any eggs since that last one, and is not acting like she needs to. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for asking, I was trying to not step on this thread with an unrelated illness so I will make it short. The Peach SP cock tested positive for Cocci, he must have brought it with him since he had been on concrete with fresh pine shavings since he got here. I did deworm them, but failed to do a Corid treatment since they came from where they came from... I think that the stress of confinement brought the Cocci to a head and the other birds were picking it so it did not get to eat as much as it should and went downhill. With the advisement of @frenchblackcopper , I began the Suulfamed-G the day before I did the fecal exam, putting it into a tubing mixture along with Polyvisol and vitamin B complex. I was not confident in the first fecal done by the vets staff, so I had a second one done by the vet the next day, at that time she gave me a syringe with vitamin B to be given under the skin.

After tubing for three days the bird began to respond quite well. It is now standing, and eating on its own and puts up some resistance to being handled and tube fed. All in all I think it is doing quite well, however I will need to keep him in the infirmary until he gets strong enough to go back out into general population. Tomorrow will be the fifth day of treatment for cocci and it will not need to be tube fed again after that one.

Glad to hear he is improving!

Bertolli is feeling well enough to do some morning preening up on the perch. This is the first I've seen her hop up there since she went down 10 days ago.
