He will not eat it. He spits it out. And im not sure how I force him too. I dont want to cause him stress or injure him. Peanut butter is not his thing. -

Im both happy and sad. Because you can see he is bored. I take him out x2 a day bcus I cannot do much more. And he cant do much. He would probably stay in the pool all day if I let him, but I cant keep eyes on him and Im scared he would flip over and drown. We bought him some goldfish for... -

About the same. He moved (struggling) about 2 feet today on his own, going forwards. He can push himself backwards, so in the right direction at least. But he is trying. And that gives me hope. Im just so perplexed. Because he is literally acting like an animal that got hit by something or... -

Just left the vet. He checked out remarkable, except for his lameness with walking obviously. Which she doesn't know why. She wanted do an xray and blood work that were going to run over $500 (unfortunately I do not have those funds) to check for metal leaching and some gram positive bacteria... -

Alright guys, day 3. Still responsive, still drinking and eating little amounts. But showing nuerological symptoms still. He's not acting drunk anymore. But will spout his wings out(they quiver) and tip back on too his butt, (at times). I let him in the kiddy pool and monitored him. He... -

I figured the supplements wouldnt hurt either, its just like a human with a prophylactic. Im hoping the trend continues as well. They've definitely got my heart strings and I would feel terrible if anything happened to them. Im in the process of finding an avian vet just in case. -

He's perked up a bit as far as his demeanor. can stand for short periods with and without assistance but not walking because of stumbling still. Ive been feeding him whatever he will take. Treats and some veggies. Another person had asked about his feet and theres nothing wrong with them... -

Thanks! I looked at his feet earlier and didnt see anything concerning, but I did a once over. Ill do another in the morning to make sure theres no scabs or puffy parts. -

Im not sure. They aren't monitored in the day but are in an enclosed large area. I dont believe theres anything growing that would be harmful to them. Ill check tomorrow to see if theres any standing water thats yuck. May have caused botulism. But I dont see that happening in an 8 hr span... -

Nutrena? I think..... I know the label online said it calculates out to 27 mg per lb and its a 50lb bag. They get free feed when inside. They also get niacin rich foods, multiple times a week. Peas are there favorite. -
