| Amy's sick |
 |
|
Amy our red lored amazon has not been her usual perky self and not eating so on New Year's Day we called our vet and took her in for an emergency appointment. He was nice enough to see her New Year's Day. She has a staff infection and he gave her a shot and an antibiotic to take for 10 days. Good news is this morning she ate....and she's much perkier. It was cute as Misty flew in the hospital room she's in(our bedroom) and visited her. Our vet assured us it wasn't contagious. She really had us worried for awhile though. |

Oh no! The poor little sweetie 
I'm glad to hear you caught it right away & she was able to be easily treated. That's great she's feeling better already!
I'm surprised to hear something like that isn't contagious, but VERY good to hear! |

Thank you Fi and Cathy for your Concern. She is my baby and I was very worried about her. She is eating today and I think she wanted to kill Carrie for giveing her the Meds. So I think she will be fine..

Amy appears to be doing a lot better.....back to her old self. She is really hard to give oral medication to. It is too bad she does not like mashed potatoes like the other birds. I'd just squirt it in there. John held her last night and she started screaming bloody murder when I approached with the syringe.... and we got to do it 7 more times. |

It's great to hear that she's doing so well!
Yeah, I bet it is hard giving her the meds, but at least you're getting them down her. Does she take just one dose a day? |

Amy is still not eating right, although she is eating, Carrie is watching her closer today. Hopefully she is getting better and it is not just the shoot the Vet give her on Monday..

Oh, isn't that the truth!
Keep up the great work with her J & C, I am sure she'll be her normal self soon 
From what I know about staff infections (only in people), they do take awhile to clear up |
