Tycos_mom Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I was baking earlier today and when I was done I opened the oven a little to cool it down faster well some ow one of te birds plastic dishes had fallen into the oven which wouldn't ave been that big of a deal except I forgot to turn the oven off. Its one of those hard plastic dishes the same kind of plastic they make pvc out of. any way my house has a open concept and i could smell to plastic burning every where by the time I figured out where it was comeing from the plasic was just a big blob of plastic melted in my oven. I took a knife and scraped most of it off then with a terry towel rag I wiped the rest of te plastic up I have such a head ache and my chest hurts from breathing the fumes while I was cleaning it up. I\m so worryed about what its going todo to my birds if thats wat it did to me. I turned the exhust above the stove on high and opened the kitchen window and put a fan facing outward to suck out the fumes I moved 4 of the birds in to my bedroom but I don't have any more room in there so Darius and Jeepers are in the dining room and I can't block tat room totally I did the best I could I hung a blanket across te entrance but the ceilings are high in there and so there is about a 1 ft gap above the blanket. I opened the patio door about an inch so that there is some fresh air going in there and I turned the heat up so they don't get cold. I just hope they are going to be ok Sprout my daughters Green cheeked Conure was in the kitchen will that plastic was melting I'm very worried about him he's in my room now I hope he's going to be ok I hear him coughing. I'm so scared please pray for my babies that they will be ok. If anything happens to them it will be all my fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Don't blame yourself for what had happened. It was an accident. If I were you I would give the fids O2 drops to detox the toxic fume that they had inhaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Pat, I do hope your birds will be ok. I'm not too sure about the implications here, but from what I've read on birds inhaling fumes, the reaction is usually instant? So hopefully all will be well. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Oh Pat, I feel for you I really do. No one looks after their fids better than you and you shouldn't beat yourself up about this, it was an accident pure & simple. If this had happened to me I think I'd have done pretty much what you did. Ventilation is the best thing for them as is moving them to another part of the house which isn't always possible I know. I would've thought that if it were that serious you would have seen the effects by now. The 02 drops sound like a good idea also if I were you I'd give the vet a call for advice. Thoughts and prayers without question go to you and your fids Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debandbella Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I hope everything is ok for them, it was an accident, i thought it was instantaneous as well if it was likely to be a problem. All the best to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 OMG Pat, I hope your fids are ok, I would think that they would have already shown ill effects if it was toxic to them but you did the right thing so don't beat yourself up, it was an accident and I pray that all will be well, let us know will you.

Tycos_mom Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 what are o2 drops and where do I get some do you think I should get some aloe detox to put in the birds water to help take any residual toxins out of their organs. OMG I hate this kind of thing I'm scared to go look to see if Darius and Jeepers are ok they are in the diningroom I couldn't move them any where.I guess I better go look Well it looks like everybody is still here thank goodness what a horrible feeling I don't ever want to feel like tat again I was so scared the thought of losing any of my birds was just to much for me to bare. They are just so precious I'm so careful about these kinds of things I can hardly believe it happened in my home. It just goes to show that none of us are infalable it it can happen to anyone of us at any time. I'm so glad that I knew sort of what to do and that was to get as much of the bad air out as quickly as possible while at the same time letting the good air in. I'm telling you its about 60 degrees in my dining room right now even though the heat was on in there with the patio door open just a inch is enough to really make it cold in there I shut the door now so it should warm up fairly quickly poor birds o well better a little chilly then dead.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhorje Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 There are various brands of O2 on market. Cellfood is one of them. The one I use is a similar product. I have been feeding my fids O2 drops for the past 1 year +. Koko swallowed some dish wash detergent some months back. I used O2 plus spirulina and vit C to detox her for 3 consecutive days.<br><br>Post edited by: dhorje, at: 2009/10/29 15:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 There is no way for me to feel what you must have gone through. Just coming to look to see how things are going took a lot of preparation for any news. I am relieved that so far it is looking hopeful. I am so sorry you have been going through this Pat.

Char Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 We are all just human beings after all and human beings will make mistakes and have accidents. I agree that yu would have see some symptoms by now. I once had some plastic get on a burner on the stove that had been turned off but still hot enough to melt the plastic. My vet asked if there was smoke and I said no just the smell of burning plastic. She said it should be okay if there was no smoke. Hope that makes you feel better.
