Penguin seems sick

[Miss Lydia]

If you have bathing water set up maybe now the fleas are dying I wonder if letting them bathe would finish them off?

By bathing water you just mean their kiddie pool? Yeah it's out there I've been replacing the water a few times a day for them

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes, kiddy pool.

Okay so this morning Penguin and Puffin seem to he flea free, but Karen and Pipsqueak still had a few each, hopefully they are already dead and just haven't fallen off yet. I gave them another round of permethrin in case. Penguin still does not seem to be back to 100% yet, she still doesn't seem at all interested in any food other than mealworms, but she is roughly the same weight so I hope she is eating when I'm not watching her. I might make a follow up appointment for her at the vet, but last appointment definitely made me realize the vet isn't the most knowledgeable and they def said a few things that would have been bad if I didn't already know better.

I certainly would go back to the one that called the AG official on ya...if that's possible.

Yeah, unfortunately it is the only avian vet anywhere near me

Perhaps a farm/livestock vet?

 

[Miss Lydia]

If your not sure Penquin is eating you might take her back inside so you can watch her.

None near, don't really live in a big agriculture area

Yeah I might if she doesn't seem completely better soon. I'll definitely keep an eye on her and keep weighing her. I really don't want to bring any of them back inside it was driving me insane having them in here and I just got it all cleaned up.
