I got Chrissy to take a tiny nibble of food!!

Kirsten, I checked the sav a chick label and it has dextrose as one of the top few ingredients..... So I guess sugar water is pretty much what she's been having.

Yay!!!!

I didn't know she was drinking Sav-A-Chick - yeah that stuff has sugar in it.

You know, she's probably in pain, and possibly that's why she hasn't eaten. I don't know much about non-prescription pain control for birds (Dumbledore was put on an oral prescription pain medicine for about 4 days, and I believe it helped him.) But if that's the case, that's hopeful, as it will abate.

I found this thread, for whatever it's worth. Some discussion on proper dose of aspirin - since she's no longer bleeding, I bet that would be ok. Dumbledore got Metacam as his prescription, FWIW. (Was not cheap, as I recall). I think it's supposed to be the one folks go to for bird pain control.

Of interest, though, Metacam is meloxicam. *I* am on meloxicam PRN by prescription (for my knee). Wow - I didn't realize. I'm totally going to look into how I might properly dose if I needed to use any of my pills...
