Scarlett Posted February 21, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she Posted February 22, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 22, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
