I'm so glad it's healed. Hopefully no more worrying about this issue!

I lucked out.... the vet was in the area so was able to visit today. She cleaned up Lennie's feathers & was able to see that it is completely healed from where the tail feathers came out. Phew! All hail to the great god Cornflour! Phew. Well done, you, Lennie and the cornflour god.

The seizures, Sweetpea?
How is Perry now, is he recovering?

The seizures, Sweetpea? How is Perry now, is he recovering? Yes, seizures. They have increased over the last few weeks so I have agreed to giving him oral anti-seizure medicine every day. I say, agreed, but I'm still not absolutely decided I will go ahead, as there are side-effects as there usually are with any medication. The age-old question.... to medicate or not to medicate?

You are there with him and know him best. You'll make the right decision for him.

What TPM said, sweetpea. You know your Perry and will do what's best for him.

So many worries sweetpea. It's hard to know what to do at times. I usually read loads about it and then just go with my gut feeling.

… hence your other post, which I’ve just finished reading. I’d be doing similar to Marianne Marlow - taking gut feelings, lots of reading and professional opinions on board.

After 3am. Still up. Perry has had a few seizures. I don't have the anti-seizure medicine yet. Another series of bad decisions on my part...

I'm sorry Perry has had a bad night, Sweetpea.
There aren't any "good" decisions to make here, there's no win-win option. And please don't turn how bad you feel for Perry's situation into feeling bad about yourself and your choices. You're doing the best you can for Perry when the "best" course of action is unknowable. There are downsides to every conceivable thing you can do for your sweet boy.
Be strong, for yourself and for Perry.

I'm so sorry sweetpea, you're having such a hard time at the minute. But, agree with loz, you can only do your best, and we all know that's what you do. Sending lots of love to you both xxx

Argh. Come on Perry. These seizures must be very stressful for you all. You're doing your best, it's a really difficult situation.

Thank you loz , jellybean & Marianne Marlow . Perry is fine this morning - jumping around Moriarty's cage & flirting. Same can't be said of me... I feel exhausted & drained! What a dreadful night it was. I managed to get about 4 hours sleep. Add to that, it seems there is a 'manufacturing problem' with the Epiphen so I've been unable to get hold of it so far. Have informed the vet to see if there are any alternatives. (Still not convinced I will use it!) I have ordered passionflower & chamomile extracts (clutching at straws) which will be a few days arriving. If no good for Perry, then I can use them myself for a good night's sleep...
