Greywings Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This is very upsetting did they tell you what they think is wrong? An infection, an injury toxicity? You have our support during this most difficult time and getting medical help is the best thing but honey may not be the best choice I would use some fresh coconut juice, some nut better or some warm mash.

Talon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This is very sad, unfortunately, we are not vets and can't help you save your bird. He needs to be rushed to an avian vet ASAP. prayers for you both, please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am so sorry to hear of this and I know you have limited access to avian vets but that is exactly what you need right now as this bird sounds very sick, if he has lost the use of his legs I am afraid it is already too late to save him but please try, do whatever you have to, please keep us informed and I will keep you and your grey in my thoughts and prayers.

katana600 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am so sorry for you and your little one. We lived in Dubai a few years ago and while I have heard there is a new avian vet, someone once recommended checking with a falconry to see if they have a vet who sees their birds. Call everyone you can think of since your weekend is starting it will be a harder time finding someone to help. Bless you in your time of need.

munch Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) So sorry to hear about your beloved grey. I believe there was another fellow just a short while ago who's grey got very sick and also passed away in Dubai-- Before you bring another into your house and love it, ask around about a virus going around in your area for greys or the possibilities of sick greys being sold there. I will try to find the link to other thread, it was in the Health Room. Found it: http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?192480-Grey-is-dying And yes, this man is also from Dubai. Perhaps you want to contact him and find out what is going with the parrots in your area...Reconsider getting another grey at this time, there seems to be a deadly virus going around. I can't imagine going through that again. Edited June 15, 2011 by munch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I am so sorry you lost your grey but I feared the worst when you first posted but there was nothing we could do to help, I think there must be a virus or something going around your area and I would be very cautious about getting another one until more research is done.

Greywings Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Judy is right so much better to be safe than to face another tragic loss. So sorry to hear you lost him but I think he knew you tried to help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
