He's now sitting on my shoulder gently preening my cheek. Sweet little boy. He's knows you are helping him to get back to his normal chirpy self.

What a little sweetie. Glad he's feeling better. Long may his recovery continue. When is he due back at the vet?

Fingers and wings crossed here that the vet gives him the all clear.

Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives....
Boo and I had our habitual 3 hour visit to the vet this afternoon. Bring out the violins. This is really turning into a soap opera.
Not sure where to start as it's rather technical, but I'll try to speak human, not vet.
The good news is that X-rays showed the enormous lump of rope fibres that was stuck in his stomach has all but gone. The bad news is that the problem has now moved down to his gizzard (the next bit in his intestinal tract)
There is also the chance that this episode has damaged his insides, though this could resolve itself. Only time will tell.
Because the gizzard is near to the kidney and liver, it's possible these organs are also being affected. The vet is unsure, but further culture tests done today may make this clearer. (results due tomorrow)
Poop tests done on the spot look pretty good, although Boo's poops still contain too much liquid. This is likely to continue for a while, until all remnants of the blockage disperse.
The green staining also is still there in his poop splats. We should know if this is because the infections caused by the block are still there, or possibly because his sick gizzard is affecting his liver and or kidneys. (Apparently the green tinge could also indicate excess bile production.)
For now, Boo is off his multiple meds, but the vet has given us a special immunity boosting diet, which I'll outline in another post. It may be of help to others.
In summary, the vet said we seem to be moving in the right direction, but there's a way to go yet. However, the culture test results may throw a spanner in the works - or not.
Just of interest, as we were leaving, he said Boo was a very unusual budgie. Apparently he's hyper aware of his surroundings, which the vet says he's never seen in a budgie before.
I don't really know what he meant by that.

Poor Boo, this seems to be never ending for him. I hope he recovers soon.
