I didnt I assumed that wouldn’t be good for him

It's not it washes off their oils that keeps their feathers waterproof. How did he like his bath did he exercise his legs good?

He exercised his legs but at the end was very wet, could he have lost his oils over the few days he didn’t get to clean himself in water.
I assume that’s i, hopefully now I’m giving him 2 baths a day he should get the oils back while preening afterwards

Hopefully he will
He probably wasn’t preening properly when he wasn’t feeling well
And may have lost his oils

Also I don’t know why but he has one cold foot and one really hot foot, is this normal or a concern?

 

[tessandherducks]

He won’t stand up anymore
we are going to vet again today
