Yes, we had another vet visit today. Cagney has hurt his foot again. The vet confirmed the two outer toes on his right foot are affected - they are floppy. She thinks he's strained/stretched his ligaments so it could take weeks to heal.  I have anti-inflamatory medicine to give him every day... if I can. Maybe he will co-operate like this mouse....  |

Thank you all. I have let Cagney know of your good wishes. After the regular morning battle with Bezukhov to give him his medicine, I took Cagney by surprise & gave him his. Although he was wriggling like a wriggly worm, without thinking of the consequences, he opened his beak & in I squirted his meds! Fortunately, it was only one drops worth. With Bezukhov there's loads so although I feel good when I get some inside him, when I look at the syringe I see there's still another 80% to go! |

OMG!!! There are so many of us now having problems with meds and creams and stuff for our poorly budgies. Hope Cagney gets better real soon and doesn't struggle too much.

Smudge has taken to sneezing hers out lately. Cagney, please make it easy for your human. Sneezing her meds out? A new one on me. Bezukhov does a rather crude spit. I think he'd be impressed with the sneezing (won't tell him otherwise he'll add it to his repertoire  )! |

I don't know how she manages it; she is not in a mind to share that snippet. Sometimes she waits until I let her go, other times she doesn't bother and sneezes it all over me - that's how I know; sticky meds, not simply budgie nasal 'juice'. |

That's also how I know how much he's spat out.  I even found sticky drops up the side of Phinny's cage & I wasn't even near there when administering! |

What a shame medicines can't be made tasteless then we could dip their favourite treat in them. My lot would opt for baby-leaf spinach or chickweed... cucumber is 3rd on the list with eating apple close behind.
On second thoughts hard boiled egg is probably first.
