Jason Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, Maybe someone could give me some advice on Ernie, my 6 month old CAG. I am a bit worried that he might be ill. I came home from work today and for the last few hours he has been out of his cage and its like he is depressed or something. He is very quiet, usually he is so active and vocal. Today he has hardly said anything. All he wants to do is just sit on my shoulder. He does not seem to have an interest in anything. He seems to have eaten some of his food and his feces looks normal. Anyone have any ideas ?? or seen this behaviour before ?? Thanks in advance Jason
Talon Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Jason, sometimes they have a quiet day, just like us. He could just be more tired today. If he is eating and pooping normally, then he's probably okay. But certainly, if he is still quiet tomorrow, I would take him into the vet asap for a check up. Greys hide their illness so well. Please keep us posted.
she Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 They do sometimes have quiet days but If he is not right tomorrow or if you think he is going down a bit get to a vet asap.
Jason Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks for the advice. He has eaten some sweetcorn and he is asleep in his cage now. Ill see how he is tomorrow. Thanks again
Lyric Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Jason, how is Ernie acting today? Back to normal?
judygram Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I too am interested in how Ernie is today, I hope Jason comes back and lets us know so we don't worry.
casper Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Jason, I do hope Ernie just had an off day. Please keep us updated.
danmcq Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I ditto the others "Hoping Ernie is Fine". Please update us. :-)
judygram Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Jason, we haven't heard from you for several days now, how is Ernie?
Jason Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Sorry Everyone ...should have checked back and updated you all. Ernie is fine now. I think he was just having a quiet day. It never happened before though. The day after i posted he was back to normal, singing and acting crazy as usual. Thanks for all your concern and advice. this really is a great forum!!!!!
judygram Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks Jason for letting us know but I will scold you a little for waiting so long,:whistle: as you can see we were concerned about Ernie and because you are family here we care about you and Ernie. Thats all we ask when someone has a situation that causes concern among the members, please don't let us worry needlessly again, ok. Lecture over now.:blush:
Jason Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Ahh.. How nice.. Ill remember in future. Have a great weekend everyone
Luvparrots Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Jason, I am so very glad Ernie is find and just needed a quiet day. Please keep in touch with us as we care about all of the family. Can't wait to hear more about you and Ernie.
she Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I am so relieved all is well with Ernie and yourself.
Char Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Glad Ernie is ok. Whisper has days like that too. Which is why one of the things she says is "Are you okay?" I used to get all worried too when she would have a quiet day. Now sometimes I welcome one every now and then.:cheer:
Jason Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks again for everyone replies. you are all so kind. Ernie is doing great these days.
Luvparrots Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 So happy Ernie is his old self again. Thanks for the update Jason.
