 No worries HezzThanks for the info, shall definitely take a look at that as I am very interested in all of this! Alfie Update: He made it through the night! YAY!  No more vomit, pile of millet husks evidence AND the good boy has drunk his Guardian Angel He is currently trying out a bit of millet for breakfast and as I have had porridge for MY breakfast I have separated some off to cool to see if he will have some to build him up and also will be soft for him to swallow  He looks a mess (not surprising really) but nothing as dire as he was yesterday - keeping all fingers and wings crossed that my little blue boy might actually get through this! POST EDIT: Those links you offered Hezz are brilliant, very informative thank you xx |

It all sounds very encouraging Sam Good boy Alfie. Has he had his meds yet? No not yet, am just about to tho I saw how the vet did it and am really quite happy I will be able to administer the meds. Have also thought of a canny way to sort out the wriggler's when giving meds - have a piece of dowelling under the crook of my arm jutting out so when I hold Alfie he has something for his feet to rest on....will report if this is a success or a completely  idea LOL! |

Such good news samwiseg, onwards and upwards from now on, one step at a time. So good that he hasn't vomited since his meds. Well done Alfie! Hugs to you both. |

I bet he used the perch to push himself up and try and escape? |

It's surprising how slippery those feathers are. Well done for getting the meds down. Be prepared to clean the porridge from all over the place.

He is a lot better today (am still not trying to count my chickens tho) but am remaining positive He did have a bit of porridge (dont think he likes it that much) but has eaten a load of millet and taken on loads of GA. Bigger more solid poops are happening too! YAY! When coming back home from popping out he even gave me a couple of welcome home tweets bless him! *heart melts* Thanks again for all your support xx |
