ZivaDiva Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yikes. I have no idea but wanted to say I hope everything turns out ok. I've heard of birds passing all kinds of things and being ok but also heard of awful stories when they didn't. Can you call your vet and ask?? A button sounds like it might get stuck and/or cause some pain moving thru. Good luck and let us know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 OMG Pat, I wouldn't have thought she would have swallowed it but if she did then I would at least call the vet and ask about it, I would be freaking out. Please let us know Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Fingers crossed here that the vet can use a pair of narrow foceps to snatch that button piece out of the crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofaviary Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thankfully, most of the time foreign objects remain in the crop and can be retrieved pretty easily. Good thing you managed to get an appointment so quickly. Adult birds can swallow pretty big items, but the fact that plastic doesn't break down like food would worry me that she might impact her crop due to it. The first time I tube fed a bird, I lost the darn tube into the crop. Thankfully, I was supervised (never tube feed any bird without learning from a vet or qualified person first) and learned how to get the dang thing out also! It's scary though, regardless. Good luck to you and that gorgeous Adaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh so sorry, Pat. The vet will take care of little Adaya. You're a good mommy to so quickly act to get her to her vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolandFamily Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Pat- how is Adaya?? Pls let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Adaya Either spit it out or crunched it up small enough to pass through the gizzard because there was nothing in her crop. the vet said to make sure that she's pooping normaly and eating normaly for the next couple days and to feed her lots of papaya to help her pass it quickly I have to change her papers often so I can make sure she's pooping ok. So I'm hopeing she will be okay the Vet said theres a good chance if its gone from the crop then she should be ok I hope so I'm just a basket case. I'm suppose to go to work tonight and I don't want to go and my daughter also haveing her baby and I should be there for her also what a day I don't know what todo Well I phoned someone to cover my shift at work so I'll have some time at home before I have to go to the hospital I can watch Adaya to make sure she goes potty regularly I cut up some fresh papaya and gave her some Apple sauce so if that doesn't make her poop good and slippery nothing will.I just hope it passes. I checked everywhere for the rest of that button its definatly not anywhere to be found she must have really crunched it up small to have it go through so quickly. the little brat. Even my vet told her she not to eat forein object all the while Adaya chatting away like nothing in the world is wrong. Baby birds are as bad as human children putting everything that their not supposed to in their mouths I'm going to have 20 new grey hairs tomorrow after this I'm sure.

judygram Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I can imagine how you must feel Pat, I would be so worried and on pins and needles until I saw those pieces of button pass without any problem. You have much on your plate tonight with Adaya and another grandchild on the way, let us know how both turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflanny Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh I am so glad baby Adaya is ok ! I have had 2 of these scray moments so far with ZZero and I swear I really did have 20 greys the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm_2007 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Going for the item you dont want them to have rarely works. A trick i use is get them interested in a favorite toy. they will drop the bad thing in a heart beat and go for the better toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
