I took Ben to the vet this morning for a full health check, after losing Max I wasn't taking any chances. The girl I saw at Lawrie Vets in Cumbernauld was excellent, she has parrots herself so she knew her stuff. He weighed 55g, she said he was a big budgie, (he always was a bit bigger than Max) said his liver seemed fine, no lumps, had a healthy heart, good muscle mass, and his feathers were in good condition. Hezz, she said yes to the Milk Thistle. Keep giving 2 drops per 100ml in his water twice a week. I forgot to ask about the Avipro Plus that I was given when Max was ill, any ideas as to what to do with that?? So I'm both pleased and relieved to get good news

Hi jellybean, I used to give Squawk Avipro Avian but only for a few weeks so I would check with the vet first if I was you. It is good news about Ben and a weight off your mind no doubt 😊

That is very good news, jellybean! I'm not familiar with the Avipro, so I wouldn't like to make a call on that one.

That is such a relief jellybean! And well done to your vet too, it does SOOO help when they are avian, there should be more out there. How is Ben doing in himself tho? Have you found he is getting closer to you?

He seems a lot happier samwiseg, he's still a bit skittish though, any noises that never used to bother him when he had Max by his side, now make him a bit jumpy. He's active during the day, flying to his different swings etc, and he still comes on my hand for his night time goodies, 😀 and as soon as the cover is off in the morning, he's chirping and singing. Just wish I knew for sure he was happy, that's all I want for him. Thanks for asking Sam.
