It seems her situation is chronic and we'll need to keep it under control through dietary supplements and changes since meds don't work. She lost a lot of weight and dropped to 3.3 but she is slowly gaining it back. I've been feeding her wet food with a syringe until she starts eating herself.

My oldest cat has pancreatitis. We used meds for a week and it made things worse, she started vomiting and had diarrhea, lost her appetite. We stopped the meds for a few days now and she is getting better.
weather is so disgustingly hot. I just gave my birds a bath. my cockatiel who hates baths allowed me to hold him under running water and even got his belly wet. he must be feeling really hot to actually let me do that. my poor babies.
I've been feeding sparrows for a few days. Now they show up shortly after sunrise and if I don't have food ready, they yell at my window.
One of my birds is asleep on my shoulder and the other on my leg. Nothing can compare to the feeling of a bird trusting you enough to use you as a sleeping perch.
I heard someone call my name when I'm the only one in the house right now and got creeped out.
I have parrots. I forgot they can say my name...
Vet called my budgie Johnny Bravo because he has yellow feathers on his head that go straight up instead of going towards the back.
My cockatiel just landed in my vegetable stew while trying to steal bread. I had to wash his feet, they were covered in tomato sauce.
First time catching one of Kaelix's karaoke streams. He has amazing vocal control.
Blue budgie with a swollen wing due to metabolic bone disease.
He is a very good baby. I'm so glad the meds seem to stop the pain. I hope the swelling will be less tomorrow morning.
My sick budgie really hates taking his meds and I completely understand the feeling. But he stopped trying to spit it out by shaking his head
Today he was able to move his swollen wing a bit. Even though he is sick, he is very cheerful. He keeps talking and giving kisses. I'm very proud of my baby.
We got 6 different meds and supplements now and weekly checkups to monitor his progress. So far it's on his shoulders. First goal is to prevent the deterioration from spreading to other bones. Then maybe we can reverse it a bit.
He is also out of his cage all day long, I try to give him exercise but he has never flown once. I've had him for 7 months now, I've been training him to fly the same way I did with my cockatiel, but it never worked. Vet said it might have started before I got him.
I just came back from the avian vet. My budgie has metabolic bone disease. His bones are deteriorating.
He has a good diet, pellets, boiled or cold water soaked grains, steamed or raw veggies and daily vitamin supplements. I don't understand how he could have lacked nutrients.
Thank you. The nearby vet said it is likely to be broken but he needs an avian vet for an accurate examination and x-ray so we got another appointment in 2 hours with an avian vet. He is at least eating normally so he won't get weak.
My budgie has a swollen wing. He can't spread it at all. He is able to move around otherwise, he talks and I was able to get him to eat some pellets.
I'm gonna take him to the vet when it opens. I hope it's not broken or dislocated. My poor baby.
Having a psychiatrist with ADHD is great because we both get sidetracked during our sessions.
In our last season we talked about why grass smells when it's cut, carnivorous plants and aliens.
Aww I'm so happy for you two! Please give my best wishes to her as well. Have a wonderful wedding!
Marriage? Oh my goodness congratulations!
I found a flattened mosquito in my bed. I think I rolled over the poor guy in my sleep. It was as flat as paper. What a horrible death.
Looks like we might adopt another dog, my parents are gonna check out a young dog at the shelter tomorrow to see if she'd be a good fit with our other pets. She'll be the 6th pet if we get her. She seems like a sweetheart from the pictures. I can't wait to go toy shopping for her.
We had a third one shortly after. I haven't heard of any damage reports thankfully, but people are scared because we've been expecting a major earthquake here for two decades now. Everyone thought it must be that one.
We had two earthquakes, only minutes apart. It was strong enough to knock stuff off my shelves. One of my cats was so scared.
What a terrible day today has been. I wanna sleep for a week.
My sourdough starter has been alive for 2 weeks, it's a record!

I'm so proud of my people for standing up for our country despite the media blackout, despite the social media censorship, despite the police brutality, despite the unlawful detainment and arrests of the protestors. #turkey
One of the birds I watch on youtube says "baby bird" in the cutest voice so I taught my budgie to say it as well.
Mine sounds like a dalek instead...
I just spray bathed my birdies. They look so much shinier and softer now.
I might try that when I get the ingredients, it sounds really nice, thank you!
