Penguin seems sick

Yeah the vet told them, and no she did not
I don't know what the rules are in your state, but in Washington if your birds come back positive they confiscate your birds, euthanize them, and incinerate them. There is no getting around it.

Also, in Washington vets legally have to report birds they suspect. And any tests that they do that come back positive.

The entire bird flu is awful.
 
I can't find what they do in florida, I'm just really hoping that isn't what they have. I think it is more likely something from rats possibly because I occasionally see them in the duck area on my camera. The vet did say that if they did have avian influenza they were not likely to improve in condition at all, but both seem to be slightly improving. Penguin is drinking by herself and Puffin is walking around the whole room and eating and drinking.
Plus I do think most likely if it was bird flu all 4 of my girls would be showing symptoms

So glad to see some good news. Daffy & Daisy just came up to me asking how Penguin and her sister was doing.

Daisy does most of the talking though, with all his questions on if Penguin is going to get better to where Daffy can hardly get a word in. However, she told me privately to make sure Penguin, her sister, and their Daddy knows she is just as concerned.

Seems we have made it through another day. Definitely feeling a lot more comfortable with the tube feeding now, and I am very thankful they are both still here with me. Puffin seems to be improving she is getting up and walking around and eating and drinking, she even jumped into her little nest box to lay an egg this morning. Penguin seems mostly the same but is drinking on her own now and has been all afternoon. Thankful to be through with all the meds and tube feeding for the night and ready to start again in the morning.
