Well Jambit appears to be almost 100% say that cautiously optimistic one can never say! Over the last week Tuesday was the last of it and everyday was an improvement over the next. Last couple days was trying to talk but was like someone with larenghitus. Today back in the sun taking a bath sounds pretty normal. Eating with huge appetite. I'm thinking today is the last day for her meds. All I can say this is one tough bird from where she was a week ago.

The little girl is more active trying to talk today and has her head twister when she is happy to see me this is a first in about 3 weeks. She has a new look in her eyes and looking wide awake. But the vet checked her stools and the bad news the Clamedia is still there and has now discontinued the clopoman fluroconzale and flagyl and replaced with 5 days of entrovet and nystatin. Anyhow I'm going start using aloa drops and Raw apple cider. That will control the flora in her stomach. Keep you posted!

Many Thanks for your concern! Today seems like have she has gone backwards, sleeping mostly but has eaten a guava, granadilla quite a bit of her mixed seed and pellets. Little uncharacteristic after yesterday and Sunday. Wish I knew why? Her stool looks a little loose almost the same color as my other baby Jesse but her is firm. Been reading up as much as I can on this subject. Remember Apple Cider Vinegar half a teaspoon in their drinking water once per week. This kills any bad bacteria. Lets see what the next 24 hours brings.

Yesterday was the best day in last 8. Today had all her meds quiet taking naps and ate a granadilla little oats with cinnamon and Moringa and had a nice little sun bathe. She traverves up to the top of her cage and down to the bottom so I'm happy. Not yet talking just squeeking sounds. Anyhow she has out attention 24/7

Thanks! The doc said will only use the nystatin as the last line of defense as its an intrusive medication. I'm on day 7 today its a roller coaster day 75% spaced out looks like she will just fall over or on her last then she magically starts eating non stop. I make sure all her foods got a fine dusting of cinnamon, cayenne and moringa so she ingesting serious dosages of vitamins. She is weak as expected like any human would to one would suppose. I'm determined for her to win this battle, her personality is one such fearless and tough. Lets see what today brings she is currently in the bedroom bathed in full sun light and picking through her food bowl.

What meds were prescribed? Gave me Entrovet Flagyl Flurconazale and Clopamon its now day 6. She rally last night today very subdued ate a little sleeping most of the morning.

Well some fantastic happenings! I woke this morning to go and check on Jams. And not much of a change since the time from Sunday at the hospital. She looked like she was really on the way out at the bottom of her cage. However was still trying to eat but falling asleep and nearly fell over in her bowl. So I dreaded the idea of having to give her all her meds as the stress might finally be the end. After her meds I put her back in the cage and covered her so she could sleep. Around 1pmchecked on her under the cover there she was made a little weird noise. She seemed very interested in what I was eating so I gave her piece of pasta that had Cheyanne Pepper and Moringa and just ate like she had to make up for 5 days of starvation. So I have my bird back at the top of her cage doing some serious preening. Yip Jambit the fighter is back! Thanks everyone.
-
Thanks I'll certainly check it out. Good idea as Jambit tends to turns things into a soup. Jesse my younger Grey she or he is just plain rebel plain straight forward eater not daring at all. However sometimes Jambit has an influence when sees her eating everything. They do like the darjeeling however too caffeinated.

Anyone out there know about adding the supplement moringa to an African Grey diet if it had the same benefits. It is a very powerful anti occident with traces magnesium iron calcium vitamin a from beta caratene b6 riboflavin b2 cand bioactive plant compounds quercetin chlorogenic acid lowers inflammation cholesterol protection against asenic poisoning toxicity, essentially its a wonder supplement.

This morning report was stable & comfortable from the vet. This afternoon a mild improvement reacting to people and food. Had all her meds and crop fed. My little girl on the way to recovery but I understand going to take awhile. Say should be ready for me to take over late afternoon tomorrow. Big thanks again for all the thoughts & prayers.

She was very lethargic yesterday, however did eat little in the morning and appeared going to sleep while eating. So I just drove back to a specialist avian vet 60 km away. She picked up suddenly which shocked me and the Doc they try to disguise how sick they are a unfamiliar environments. Anyhow after 2 days of meds enrovet, flagyl, clopaman was very up and down situation she has now a yeast infection. So best I leave her in the hands of the specialist who are going to give something to treat the yeast infection and increase the dose to control the infection. I must say all that I read on line Jambit never showed the breathing discomfort or the blueish tint around the eyes. She still tried to eat and was amazed in her spaced out state how she landed back at the top of her perch and her amazing perseverance to eat. Yeah its been a very stressful last 5 days but my baby is a fighter ..... more when I get updated later today thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.

Little better this afternoon moving around a little and eating which is a good sign. However she was the same last night and this morning was down. The Dr. said can't expect a rapid improvement in first 48 hours. But eating and moving up and down in and out of the cage gives me some optimism. I'll just monitor and see how she proceeds over the next 12 hours hopefully tomorrow will be greater improvement. Thanks again for your encouragement.

Went to a specialized avian vet highly reputable says not serious has some gastro infection did stool analysis and x-ray came back all good. They gave me flagyl,clopaman and envoret. As usual active at last night looked 80% better however this morning back to the same just sitting on the perch. Ate last night not much this morning. Had her meds threw up about 30 minutes later. Don't know really what to do at this point. Just let her rest? Everyone thinks I'm overreacting to the situation but I'd rather be proactive now than sorry in the future. In addition it cost a lot to have Jambit checked out these hospitals for pets are even higher standards than human care in South Africa LOL.

Jambit my African grey is lethargic today did go down to eat. However she seems to want to sleep. When she talks just talks like she is blowing. Little stumped as to what to do. The poop looks regular. Her eyes look bright when opened not puffing up. Would putting her in the sun help.
-
Well Jambit is back to her old mischief! The upside down trapeze act on her swing! So the foot issue is past tense now all good.
