Scarlett Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Lacey came home today. She is very quiet and napping a lot but the vet said she is doing better than expected. She must take an antibiotic injection every day for the next 5 days. We're still not competely out of the woods but, so far, she has been a little miracle. The vet said he would have never expected her to survive 2 hours of surgery. He had remove her uterus and repair her intestines and the egg was HUGE!. He thinks she'll make a full recovery. Thank you again for all of the kind words and thoughts sent our way. I'll try to post pics of both Scarlett and Lacey later this week!
judygram Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Mary that is great news to hear and she has come this far, she will make that full recovery, she is a tough trooper for sure and has been thru a lot but with your loving care she will pull thru with flying colors. Please do update us on her progress and I look forward to seeing some pics of her.
Luvparrots Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 BIG sigh of relief. Such great news, Mary. I look forward to seeing pictures of Lacey and Scarlett. I am so relieved!!!
she Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Thats the best news we could get.I am sure you will nurse her through the rest of her recovery just fine.Two hours of surgery is a very big risk to a bird.One question, she is to have antibiotic injections for another five days, are you taking her to the vet for them or are you giving them?
Scarlett Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Believe it or not the vet tech is coming to our house every day to do them. She lives nearby and will be stopping after work. We had the option of doing it ourselves but neither the boyfriend or I are very good at that kind of thing.
judygram Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 You are so lucky in that respect to have a vet tech that lives nearby as I would be uncomfortable with giving an injection to my bird.
she Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 That is fantastic,I was worried about you having to transport Lacey daily after such an ordeal. I am pleased you are being well looked after.
danmcq Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Man, what an ordeal Lacey had to go through with that Egg. It is great to hear she is home and resting. Thank god you took quick action and found a very good Avian Vet. Looking forward to hearing updates and seeing photos of her. :-)
Lyric Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm glad to hear that Lacey had her surgery and is recovering. She must be a tough little thing- I hope she makes a quick recovery.
PekingeseMama Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 That's great that Lacey is home now, and I hope she does better with each day!
