Let me call the only vet close by..I think they close at 4. My friend works thereThe not eating and drinking is probably the biggest issue currently - can you feel along his keel and compare it to this body score chart and say what number you think he is?
He really doesn't look good right now. His eyes look sunken and he looks pretty dehydrated. Would you be willing to tube feed him to get some food and water into him to get him stable? It's not hard or dangerous when done correctly and I can walk you through the process. You would need to get a feeding tube size 18fr which a vet might sell you, or some aquarium tubing, a syringe, and preferably some parrot handfeeding formula to feed through the tube.
Ok, that’s what I did..but that’s it per day, huh? Darn it...NutriDrench dosage is 1 ml (1/5 tsp) for each 3 pounds of weight up to 3 ml daily. Plain water is needed after giving it.
It’s not an option, they don’t have it...and the only place that does is $53.49 and my husband said no...are there other options?
I mean the parrot food. $50. We have an aquarium...his keel is difficult to tell ...he feels still about 3 lbs..which this guy was never over 1... but he’s definitely skinny on the top, dehydrated feeling...Do you mean the tubing? Can you get aquarium tubing instead? You can buy the tubes online for 70 cents. Or do you mean the parrot formula?
Were you able to feel his keel?
