Tamara Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Ill save the long story LOL but we have a 3 week old cockatiel. Tonight while feeding he started to gag and became limp. My husband immediately turned him over to help him clear the formula. After about 2 minutes the baby started screeching like he usually does, but he sounds a little horse. I looked on the internet to see what we should do. Some say that if he is still ok in 2 hours he may make it, but he may still get pneumonia. Is this true!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! We are keeping him warm and are watching his behavior and will continue to for the next few hours.....PLEASE HELP!!!
Eshana Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I hope someone with more knowledge of hand feeding comes to help you soon! I wish you the best of luck
danmcq Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I would definitely get that Tiel to a vet asap.
Tamara Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 just wanted to update everyone Fintan, our baby is doing great!!! We were up with him all night long, we dont have a 24 hour vet where we live. We planned on taking him in the morning. But he went back to his normal self after a few hours LOL he is eating and being loud like usual So excited!!!! Thanks to those who replied! I really appreciate it!!!
