Thank you all for the kind words and support. I did finally get results back from my vet. Miss Scarlet had a mass growing in her that was about the size of a walnut and was taking over several organs already. The mass had just finally gotten big enough that no food was getting past it and only minimal liquid. She was really such a happy bird that there was no reason to suspect anything and nothing that could have been done to save her once she was showing symptoms. Helps with closure to know that I didn't do anything wrong, but still really heart broken over her. Thank you all again, Rebecca

Miss Scarlett passed away yesterday morning. I knew as soon as soon as I picked her up that I had less than an hour more with her. She was a one-in-a-million bird. She would nip anyone that tried to touch get, but she would snuggle with me and I could do absolutely anything with her. I'll be dropping her body off at the vet, so at least I might have answers as to what happened. Thanks to those that replied. Rebecca

My grey had been sick at least since friday. I noticed really late friday night that she seemed droopy, and then noticed very wet diarrhea around the vent. I took her to the vet saturday morning. My avian vet is fantastic, but nothing has worked well yet. Saturday she sent me home with 2 antibiotics. They next day I called the vet again because she had started vomiting. Some of it is food coming back up, but most of it was like a clear drool. They gave me medicine to treat her crop for a yeast infection and also something to keep her from vomiting. Fast forward to now. My vet is on vacation now in mexico (they actually paged her for advice on the second round of meds for me). I'm not noticing much improvement at al, although not really getting worse either. She doesn't want to eat, but will take the meds easily. I've been giving her some water with a splash of apple juice via syringe to make sure she's staying hydrated. I made scrambled eggs for my daughter this morning and I always make extra for the birds. She gobbled that up, but I later found it vomited back up on the paper. Same thing tonight. I've been giving her her regular food (zupreem natural) soaked to make it softer and easier for her to swallow. I've been changing her water constantly to see if she is eating anything (she's a dunker) and there is only ever barely a crumb. I found this site searching some symptoms, and I've done as much research as I can...but really looking for other thoughts or suggestions or if anyone else dealt with something similar? She's only 8 and she's my favorite! Thank you, Rebecca
