he passed away today

Hi all, it's 5 am and I woke up to feed my little one yesterday my doctor said that there's 50/50 chance of him to live or pass away he gave him an antibiotic in the chest, and this thing he said it would help his nerves get stronger so he could maybe start moving his legs, he gave him by mouth he told me it's good that i'm feeding him cerelac but it would be better if i feed him baby parrot food, so i bought one and he actually likes it, he did not poop for a day, still haven't moved but his spirits are high, i hope he makes it till tomorrow, it's good that he is not in pain. let's hope for a miracle. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! it means a lot to me, i am relieved because i know my little baby is in the hands of god, and even if he dies, i will never forget our precious moments, even if they were only for a month, it felt like forever.

Hello, i just came back from the vet for my baby's antibiotics, i'll post in the morning to tell you guys what happened, right now he is stable, my hopes are up right now pray for him please . Thank you all for your help i really really appreciate it

Hello again, just got back from my university, i couldn't eat anything or even sleep, i couldn't focus in my classes, this is really crushing my soul to pieces, although he's only been there for a month, i feel like i've had him for years, this is making me really depressed. Both his legs are now paralysed, he doesn't seem to be in pain, he shreds napkins and tries to climb the cage, he doesn't eat but i give him drops of water, and about 10ml of whole wheat baby food. it is 1:30 pm now, my vet said he will be available at 8 pm in the pet clinic, I really hope my little one would make it. Please pray for us.

I just woke up to feed him and found out that his other leg is now paralysed, i'm trying to pull my self together but this is just heart aching .

And no, his foot is totally paralysed and it's not moving nor grasping, i just sensed a little push but i don't know.

My doctor said that Salmonella causes this, i mean his leg being paralysed and that if it's not cured it will spread to his other leg and then his whole body and then die, i've been reading a lot and i'm just trying to stop the diarrhoea by making him drink water that has been boiled with rice ( for carbs ) 2 injections of antibiotics everyday, i'm going to the vet tomorrow evening and i hope all is good </3

P.S is it really harmful if i got it? and do i need to wear gloves and that med mask thing? because i didn't and i handle him like i always do, and i placed his porch really low so he can climb it, because he can't really move with his leg paralysed.

Hello, Thank you so SO much for your reply, I am keeping him in his smaller cage, and I've fed him by the tube a good amount of whole wheat baby food and he loved it, i'll feed him every 6-5 hours because he wouldn't eat and he finds it hard to move with his leg paralysed , i almost sensed him trying to move it but maybe it's just my imagination, i really really hope he would be ok, his bowls were clean but in some occasions i find his stand bowls with poop only on the side of them and they are cleaned immediately, i am so depressed right now. he chirps and whistles and today is his first time attempting to make sounds like my words, he tries to climb and also shred paper, i am grateful he is not in the stage of him being unable to even move. your prayers !!!

Hello everyone, my bird was diagnosed with salmonella, his left leg is now paralysed he was fine yesterday playing and flying around and eating, this morning i woke him up he was all puffed up in the bottom of his cage, I thought he was cold at first so I placed him out on his stand and turned on the heater , his legs were fine! i went to college and came back a couple of hours later to find him pooping white wet material and he was all puffed and didn't even touch his food, this is where i panicked, then i saw his left leg and i almost cried my eyes out I Immediately placed him in his travel cage and went to the avian vet, i went to 5 pet stores, they all were cat and dog vets only, and finally after a while i found a great doctor that have worked for over 50 years, he is the best in Riyadh. he diagnosed him with Salmonella, and he said there's a 50% chance he'd die and another 50% he would survive with the shots given, at that moment i felt like the world has this conspiracy to destroy me, my little baby boy is dying!!!!! he said you have to risk and give him shots but he might also get a shock and die, i agreed because i don't want to let it spread please PLEASE tell me what to do, is it contagious? is he going to be oKAY??? i will be giving him shots at the vet for a week or so until he is fine i need your prayers, i am so stressed out i am trying my best to act strong just for him so please tell me if he is going to make it and what should i do at the moment i am going to mix two spoons of whole wheat baby cerelac in his water bowl, and feed him with a 10ml tube needle is that ok?

Thank you a lot! Yes he eats half and the other half is his new toy lol , I will be preparing meals and freezing them soon, thanks!

Wow ! thank you for the information, i was really surprised when people told me to cut down on the sunflower seeds, but now you're information proves them wrong! and as everyone said, to be moderate when giving sunflower seeds to our birds is the key <3

Thank you! What is your birds plan, I mean from the moment he wakes up till he sleeps, the portions you feed him?

Hello and welcome! congratulations on your new baby, it's going to be a beautiful journey to you both, Don't worry, in a couple of days he will be demanding your scratches and cuddles, patience! , We're waiting for pictures ! Good luck!

Hi everyone I have a bunch of questions about my CAG's food plan I just got him so I am planning on setting a food plan for him, he is 7 months old. the thing is, his previous owner only fed him sunflower seeds, which is not good. As soon as I got him, about a week, I started feeding him some veggie's and fruits, he eats some and throws the other half of it, but it's progressing at the moment. I also bought him a pellet, which consist of several seeds, dried fruit, peanut shells, and a 45% of sunflower seed, and that sounds bad enough, so I am switching to another kind of pellet. If I get a new pellet mix, what kind of seeds can i mix in with it? I've heard i can mix in some canary seeds?, also, How many times should I provide the pellet mix? twice or once a day? or just freely? I really want him to eat more veggies than pellets, but I know that they need seeds and nuts. So if anyone has a similar diet plan, with a little bit of pellets and more veggies and fruits, it would really really help me! Thank you.
