Help! My Bird’s Egg Bound but the Vet Won’t be In Until Tomorrow.
I was talking on the phone to Dr. Byron de la Navarre recently about avian vitamin D3 testing (under wraps during research) when we got off-track for a moment and began a conversation about veterinary emergency care for birds.
So your task for today after you’re done with brunch is to find a local emergency care veterinary facility (if you have one in your area), make a note, and put it on the refrigerator

I have tried to answer the post regarding the bird having strokes/seizures.
I have experience with that.
Once I try to post an answer it asks me again for a WordPress login or to just enter my login.
So twice it asks me for login but it still doesn’t work and I really want to give the person the info I know so she can discuss it with her Vet.
I don’t have Word Press and don’t do FB.
Good morning.
My 29-year-old Caique parrot Skeeter had a stroke 10 days ago.
The vet who treated him sent him home the same day with antibiotics and calcium; told me to keep him in his travel cage which was padded with towels, and wished me good luck.
I just got off the phone with Andrea, a very good customer of ours.
Andrea was fortunate enough to get a lung transplant at the age of 70.
I’m sure her primary surgeon told her many things that stand out to me are, “We’ve probably added about six years to your life” and “You have to get rid of your macaw.”

Hello.
I have two Sulcata tortoises aka African spurred tortoise (approx 80 lbs each) which I recently took in when their owner could no longer care for them.
Lori Seaton asks: Like the new format. I have asthma. Dr. Suggest that I get rid of our 2 birds… LOL not going to happen.
I had all the problems before we got the birds. What kind of air cleaner is best? We rent our apartment. Thank You.
LL (G2MomPerson) asks
Is there a smaller micro-chip available for smaller birds like a Goffins Cockatoo or Cocktail?
I asked my avian vet & she wasn’t aware of a smaller chip for smaller birds/animals.
If there is a smaller chip, what is it called & who makes it?
I have had my male African grey parrot for 28 years.
When he matured sexually years ago he started plucking.
I have him on a plumage supplement now and he has lots of new quills and looks much better.
However, he humps my arm with a thick sweater on.
He goes to completion if I let him once a day.
