she Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 My big brave boy is home.It looks like we have found the problem.His new feathers that are coming through don't look quite right to the vet.She is sure he has folliculitus, an infection of the feather follicles. She has put him on a long course of anti biotics and metacam.The xrays show his wing is fine which is great news but his spleen is slightly enlarged which she said is a sign he is fighting an infection.The blood test results will be back next week and we are hoping this shows all is well.She has extracted pulp from feathers she removed that looked abnormal and sent it off for tests.Looks like we are now on the right track at last. I am so happy this is being taken seriously.I am going to read up all I can on his condition and see if any more can be done.
danmcq Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Wonderful news!!! Answers and treatment that is correct at last. :-) Know you and Charlie are in our thoughts and prayers for quick healing.
judygram Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 So glad to hear that Charlie is home and maybe the reason for his plucking has been found, in any case he is back home where he belongs and now you can rest a little easier Shelia.
