kitt4kaz Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi. My african grey was his usual self until about two hours ago. He threw up a wad of food and is now very puffy and looks like he has vertigo. He is kind of swaying back and forth as he sits. He has been eating normally and ate about an hour ago (his usual pellets). It is 10PM here and we live in a VERY rural area so no avian vets within three hours of here. I've called a few but no one has returned my call yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. He is 2 and 1/2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So sorry to hear this! I am just seeing it and hope everything is OK. Please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Oh no! I hope your baby is going to be okay. Were you able to find a vet to take him in to today? Please let us know how he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 kitt4kaz...symtoms sound unusual! Let us know how he does. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitt4kaz Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi. Thanks for the responses and concern. About thirty minutes after I posted this he started coming around. We put him in his sleep cage and kept an eye on him. He continued to eat which was a good sign. The next morning he greeted us with his usual sounds and was talking up a storm an hour after he got up. He has been fine since. Not sure what caused it but glad it passed uneventfully.

SRSeedBurners Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is good to hear. I was afraid you would come back here and tell us about the passing of your Grey. Those symptoms are usually NOT GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 He could have experienced a seizure so it would be smart to have him visit the Vet to confirm his health status and perhaps his calcium levels. Glad to hear all is well this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Whew, so glad to read this! As others have said, I'd get him checked out if possible. Personally, I'd rather pay the vet bill than stress over what it could have been, if it might happen again, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 hope all is well! Definitely not a seizure... but may want to checkout chemistry levels. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I am not sure about it not being a seizure. I've seen seizures present in very strange ways in non-mammalian creatures. I definitely would recommend seeing a vet for a full blood work up with chemistry just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 May be vertigo with a middle ear infection.Even in an animal, they either lose consciousness and have grand mal seizures ( like my Zoey-pup), or have clonic tonic seizures and pullup one leg.

murfchck Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oliver has had seizures and the vomit came right after then he zoned out for an hour or so. We have had 2 dogs that had epilepsy and they would do the same. Why do you say definitely not a seizure? Sorry, missed that next page. Got what you said now.
