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. ;)

{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. Jay and Maggie{Feel-good-000200BB}

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: :S

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 ;)

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?

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.
