Gil’s ankle joint seems to be much better, almost completly back to normal. She has been flying inside my house recently *FacePalm* and I’m sure those landings aren’t helping her heal. She just started flying again, I’m wondering if she just lost enough weight lol. It’s okay though because she...
Hello!! Gil has 1 or 2 more days worth of painkillers left. Thankfully I don’t think she truly needs them anymore. She’s back to making a mess with her water and dumping her food into it. I’m still only using a small Tupperware for food and water and changing it frequently. I refuse to give her...
Gil is slowly but surely feeling better!! She puts a little weight on her foot now and hobbles around when she wants to stretch. She has a couple days worth of painkillers left.
we built a new pen out of plywood in the basement at our new house. That’s where we’ll feed her and let her eat but...
Awwww!!!! This is awesome!!!! I need to train Gil to quack at her poops until they’re picked up!!!!! We have hardwoods throughout so it will be an adventure. Half of the house we just sanded and stained the hardwoods so we’ll need to protect those well. We debated on her food being in the...
Gil’s feeling very independent right now!! Had a long soak in the tub and is now hobbling around stretching out and preening. This is much better than just laying on her belly all day. She did get pain meds probably 3-4 hours ago at this point. I will wrap her up in blanket soon so she’ll lay...
Gil would love to show off her graveyard of grape skins. She gets very proud of herself after just eating the middle part of the grapes and leaving me all the skins to clean up!!! Lol ❣️❣️❣️
...water as needed. This time when I drained it she took it upon herself to stand a bit more then she has been and she didn’t just fall over in pain. *Sigh of a little relief*
she’s also capable of diving for grapes in the tub which is a favorite past time of hers. Today was the second dose of...
Hello all!! Thank you so much again for responses, support and positivity.
I’m thinking she injured it trying to mate her waterer. She had a ducky waterer but it sat on top of a metal drip pan for a water heater. (I’ll insert pics below for example). I think she slipped off the edge of the drip...
We made it into the vet already due to a cancelation!!!!!! They don’t think it’s infected because it’s not swollen or warm. They think it’s something between a sprain and hairline fracture. I got 7 days worth of pain meds “metacam”. Were expecting a much more normal Gil around 5 days later so by...
Good morning. My poor baby :( we got her a vet appointment for tomorrow morning at 11:30!!! (Sunday) I am so relieved they got her in (they only have 1 exotic vet on hand).
Gil slept in bed right next to me all night long ♥️
She didnt poo in my bed though which isn’t normal. Although she...
I’m a wreck and will be until Gil’s all better but for now, SHE LITERALLY TUCKED HERSELF IN!:love I had the fuzzy blanket around her butt and she pulled it over her wings after preening herself. Then she tucked her head under and now I’m stuck in this exact position for a while 😂
I have to call...
Update: she’s still the same - limpy and no weight on right leg. I can still tell it’s her ankle joint for sure. I did NOT use any pain killers. I DID give some of the vitamin B complex.
I am calling the vet now trying to make an appointment for tomorrow.
thank you so much for helping us out!!!! ♥️ I’ve dealt with all the little issues but this is by far the scariest issue we’ve dealt with. Would you recommend I try aspirin for pain or is there a greater chance of accidentally making her sick?
