I do hope Buddy is okay. I did love the second clip of him bouncing up and down in front of the mirror.

Yes Avain vets are very hard to get hold of and most of us have a long journey to get to one……. I have cancelled his appointment today because he is bright and been out playing and flying around. The vet I was going to is recommended for being good with birds, but he is not a registered Avian vet. He works 3 days a week and isn’t too far away so if it keeps happening I will definitely take Buddy. …….He had a spell last year of being unwell, different symptoms though, and the vet said it was probably neurological plus he then had a fungal infection. I bought a nebuliser ( that was the Avain vet)…..

Did the nebuliser help Buddy?

Difficult to say Marianne because he was also on medication by mouth as well. There was also treatment I had to put in the nebuliser water as well. I had to treat him with both twice a day for two weeks .He didn’t mind the nebuliser at all, used to talk while it was going.

Buddy is such a good boy, singing while taking his meds.

Avian vets are difficult to get hold of but if you have a vet who is very good and you trust their knowledge and they’re good with handling birds, it’s better than no vet at all. Our local vets are brilliant with dogs, cats and small animals but I wouldn’t bother them with exotics. Once was enough, when the vet didn’t even understand species of tortoises have very varying needs, even though she had a tortoise of her own but didn’t know which species. ☹️ However they have a whole team dedicated to farm animals. Great for the farms we’re surrounded by in the Westcountry, not great for birds or exotics. I remember Buddy being on the nebuliser ladybird. He’s so good for you isn’t he? I hope his quiet days don’t occur too often.
