how do i view all responses on one page? I can only view them when I go to "reply" page, but any picture attachments are unable to open on that page. All I am seeing is a list of the subject lines and nothing happens when I click on it! Maybe it's my firefox browser...

the thing is, is we had to give it back to Pet smart and get our money back in order for them to take it to the vet. So we don't really own it anymore, until we ask for it back...... I called the vet but they can't give me any info because I am not the owner anymore.... Well, hopefully I will find out the details soon! I can't stand waiting any longer!

I live in Abbotsford. And when we got the bird from PEt Smart (flown in from Ontario across the country) she was already weaned, eating totally normally (had the most amazing, calm, cuddly temperment). It was only in the last 2 days that she was picking out all the seeds from her dish and not eating the rest...... She was also eating her own poop at the bottom of her cage. I really am at a loss because we spent $70 on colourful toys for the parrot cage and spent at least 5 hours a day with her, and let her perch up around the house lots - even gave her fruit and veggies which she loved. Can fatty liver disease happen that quickly from a couple days of picking out the seeds? The store is not telling us what the cause is until today, but apparently the vet called them Wednesday night with the diagnosis and the store didn't go to get the perscription until Thursday night, and now they say that the perscription can't be filled until Friday. I feel a bit suspicious, but we had to give the bird to them if they were going to pay for the vet bill. My only worry is if we got a weaker, chronically sick bird - I have heard bad stories about people buying a bird and within a couple years the bird dies, and after thousands of dollars in vet bills. We don't mind spending money on the best quality food and toys and parrot gyms, it's just the "thousands" and then a dead bird that freaks me out.

Hello, we bought an african grey and she is only just over 3 months old. Anyway, after having her for over a week and a half, I noticed some symptoms - i thought I was crazy, but I took her back to the place I got it, and they took her to the avian vet. After some tests, it turns out there are is a liver infection. The bird is a bit red around it's eyes too, but seems to be playful still and is now gaining some weight back. The anti-biotics will start today, but I wanted to know if anyone knows anything about liver issues in these precious birds. I just don't want to take the bird back if we know that it will have sickness all it's life. I would be so sad to let her go, but I also want to save my bank account! Any ideas?
