Guest Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Well after a vet visit and finding Gizmo had a sore throat I thought I had found the source of his plucking, he did stop for a few weeks but started right back up this time plucking his tail feathers as well. I took him to the vet again but he checked out fine. So I started watching him and noticed he was throwing about 75% of his food out. So I thought maybe that was the source so I switched his food hoping that would help, and it did!!! Gizmo now has a full chest of feathers, his neck feathers are growing back in, as are his tail feathers!!! I am so happy he is looking so much better now!!! Yay for a simple solution!!!
Luvparrots Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Congratulations Maxxheadroom on your investigative abilities. Karma to you for being such a caring parront. Gizmo is such a lucky guy to have such a smart and determined patron! Pictures would be wonderful if you have any to share!
Guest Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I will snap some later today (dead batteries lol) thanks for the positive feedback, I am SO SO SO excited for him!!! He is still a bit ruff looking but he is on the mend GO GIZ GO!!! In fact now he is asking me for showers and when I give him a shower he flaps and dances and just goes nuts! I love it!!! before he would do anything he could to stay out of the water I think maybe all the new feathers coming in are bothering him the water I am guessing helps with that.
kittykittykitty Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Good for you! And Giz!!!:lol: :cheer:
JillyBeanz Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 That's great news! Asking for showers too - pah! That's a first!!! Can't wait to see some pictures x
Mistyparrot Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Well done Max and Giz but it would be more interesting if you could be specific about the change in diet.B) Steve n Misty<br><br>Post edited by: Mistyparrot, at: 2009/11/18 13:16
she Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Thats really good news.Yes it would be interesting to know what diet changes you made,who knows it may help someone on hear who is having the same sort of problem as Giz.
katana600 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I love that you found a way of satisfying Gizmo and went through so much time and effort to figure out what he needed. You should be very pleased with the results, good for you.
