I will call my bird vet tonight, and see what he says. I have only used him a few times.

Good job! I will be patiently waiting for a great report back. I feel that your boy will be just fine. He WILL be ok!

 

[Glenmar]

I hope so. He is a little stinky in the bathroom for a week.

But you can't help but love him.

Anyway, This vet looked at a goose I had a while ago. They say he is really good with birds. I am having him call me
tomorrow morning so I can tell him what I have done so far. I am working night shift tonight which is why I could not make it to a
Tuesday appt. I will let everyone know.



thanks for all the help

Good luck and talk to your vet about setting you up with stuff to do subcutaneous fluids and tube feeding.

Today is the day. I hope we hear some good news.

Doc said bacterial infection. He got sub q fluids and a shot of Baytril. Getting meds now.

 

[kuntrygirl]

Good. So, he will be ok. What other meds did he prescribe? How did he conclude bacterial infection? What tests did he run? Do you know how he got the bacterial infection?

 

[Glenmar]

He looked at the poop microscopically.
He said it was filled with bacteria. We got liquid metro and baytril. He started him out with a shot of baytril and fluids. He said we should see improvement in 24 hours.

That's good. I wish I knew how to work a microscope. I have a professional microscope but I don't know how to use it. I think I better learn. :/

Do you remember the dosage? What did your pea weigh?
