Kidney Issues, again.

Yesterday as I was cleaning cages I noticed that my budgie was a bit fluffed up and starting to favor his/her right leg again, and had poop stuck to her vent. For one moment all I could think was FUCK, Not Again. Then I looked at the food dishes and realized that I had been feeding them nothing but pellets and veggies for the last couple of days, no seed. The budgie shares a cage with my cockatiels and my other parakeet, a Turquosine, and they all eat pellets fine. I thought my budgie was as well, but birds are fairly good at pretending to eat when they don't like the stuff in the dish. I replaced their pellets with seed and the budgie immediately flew down to the dish and dug in, fending off all comers. S/h/it must have been starving.

Today s/he looks a lot better today, no longer looking fluffy and is perching on his/her 'bad' leg, so I'm hopeful that it was simply a lack of calories that was causing a flare-up. I'm going to keep a close eye on him/her for the next weeks, and s/he starts acting lame on a seed-based diet we're going back the vet. I really hoped that we were over this, but I guess not D:


In other news I got a 92% for last term! WHOOT!!!
