Jun. 20th, 2009 12:07 amBirdi has congestive heart failure, which I've known about for a while. My vet recommened Hawthorne Berry Extract, and if this works I'll be seeing results in a day or to. He is very short of breath, but otherwise at good weight etc. If this works I'll probably order it online since it cost almost $30 at the vet for 1/2 oz, but I found a supplier who sells it for $40 (pluse $7 shipping) for 8oz. I have to get the non-alcohol kind because alcohol is Really Bad for birds.
The congestive heart failure is apparently caused by a chronic protozoa infection that he's had probably all his life. Apparently this damages their heart and over time it fails. Which is weird. And I'm probably a bit drunk.
The cat appears to be fine, even if her fur is a bit gunked up still. I haven't bathed her although I did get some shampoo for her. She seems clingy, but I suppose falling out of a second story window will do that to you. She's not hurt though.
The parakeet's fine. Apparently they sometimes have a hard time with the first egg until they get everything sorted out, and she's five years old, which is kinda old to start laying. Extra calcium and everything will be okay.
