Jayd Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 {Feel-good-000200A2}See,you are doing good...You have been there for Cookie from the start!! and you'll always be there, He knows that...... Jay{Feel-good-000200BB} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckobird Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thats ok Helen, not to worry. This is common in baby greys because they don't have a strong immune system. As long as you give Cookie the medicine he needs, he will be fine. When I first got Ecko he also had a crop infection but after giving him the meds for 10 days it was all gone and he is healthy as can be. Good luck and make sure to give him the meds and do a follow up at the vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 {Feel-good-0002006E}{Feel-bad-00020063}What a predicament! Did the vet say whether you can give it with food like his oatmeal? How many cc's/millimeters? Are you using a syringe or spoon to give it to him? Smith's Supermarket, CVS and Walmart all sell a small eyedropper that might be easier than a spoon or syringe.

I look forward to hearing of Cookie's improvement. Take care and please keep us updated on your sweet grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 they gave me syring at the vet office ,but when cookie see the syring in my hand he begin to run from me he know,and vet told to dont put it with his food it shoul be by self with out food,i think this the only way i shoul do it catch him in big towel and drop the medication in his throat ,bye forcing him, pour little cookie there no other way.and its not to much just 0.1 ml ,i hop he is not going to hate me after that.:huh: :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckobird Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh don't worry Helen, Cookie won't hate you. I had to do this for Ecko for 10 days too and he doesn't hate me at all, he loooves me! Do it quick and easy, hide the syringe from him when your about to give it to him, sneak it up behind him and open his beak and squirt it into his mouth. Just make sure he doesn't see it and he won't run. It may not be easy at first but he should get use to it, its only for a couple days too. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycos_mom Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm so very happy Cookie is doing better and playing and eating. Pretty soon he will be gaining weight and eating everything he can get his little beak on. your such a good mama. Do you have to towel his to give him his meds or is he getting used to it?

she Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am glad Cookie is doing better.The baby food is a good idea,I fed my tiel it when he was ill a while ago and it did help.Stick to organic ones though and make sure no salt or adatives are in it.The egg is also a great protein.
