[she]

I took Charlie to the exotic vet this morning. She totally agreed that thing need further investigation.She is keeping him in over night and giving him an anasthetic to do blood tests and an xray of the wing he injured a while back,She said she will give him a good check up and examin him well while he is asleep. I miss him so much and Its only been an hour or so.The house is just empty.

Sheila, so sorry to hear that Charlie still isn't right. You must be missing his terribly. Hopefully now with a good examination while he's under you can get to the bottom of it.

Fingers crossed this lady will get to the bottom of the problem and that you get him home soon, problem solved

Just spoke to vet. Charlie coped well with the anasthetic. She has taken bloods and xrays and also sending feathers to test for folliculitis, an infection of the feather follicles. She is having a good look at the xrays later and going over everything at 1pm tomorrow when I pick him up. She has also given him anti biotics and anti inflamatries. I feel so much better knowing this is being taken seriously at last. Can't wait to get him home tomorrow and spoil him rotten.

Great news Sheila - finally light at the end of a long tunnel. I'm so happy to hear that things have turned out well after the anaesthetic too. Charlie will be so pleased to see you too.

Oh good luck. Prayers on the way. Great news that he came through the anesthetic okay. I always worry so much during any of my animals surgeries. Once they are out, I relax a bit. I hope you can too.

Poor Charlie but I hope he does well now that it is over with and maybe you will find the reason for his plucking and it will be done with, let us know what you find out.

Fingers crossed that a solution can be find for Charlie's plucking problem. Good thoughts coming Charlie's way!

Just a thought, but when our little grey Juno injured a wing, they put him on metacam for pain relief. I wonder if the vet would give you a prescription and try that to see if he could have some discomfort leading him to pull at this wing, even if there is nothing showing on the xray.

[she]

Thanks everyone.. Dee, Charlie was on metacam for about 2 months when he injured his wing.If the x rays show any problems with the wing I will most definitely ask about putting him back on it. Thanks.

Good news that's he through his little procedure ok. What time are you bringing him home? Oh - you're probably queuing up outside the vets right now!!

Let us know what the results say.

It's great to hear this new specialist has gained your confidence and is studying all aspects of Charlies condition.

 

I pray you will get a definitive answer and solution at last. You and Charlie have really been through a lot over the last months.

 

I am looking forward to the update.

It has been more than a month since the last post here. I'm not sure where to look for more info about Charlie. I hope everything is all right.
