How is Marshmallow? Has the lump got any bigger? Hello, sorry for not replying sooner! I forgot I had made this post here.
So.... good news! The growth has completely disappeared! No new ones either. I don't know how it happened but it did.
After speaking with the vet about it on the phone today, they said the best course of action would be to cancel the visit as there's nothing they'd do for him. Because the office is over an hour drive away and Marshmallow gets extremely stressed in the car and even more so when he's away from the other birds (I have 4 total), it'd be a bad idea to unnecessarily stress him for so many hours.
Marshmallow also finally ground his beak down to a normal size too, so they wouldn't even trim it more than he has himself. They did mention that should something like this appear again, that I should schedule with them and that they'll be keeping his file in the system.

Well that is good news!!
I'd still get the Nature's Answer milk thistle to put in his water though to help his liver. It's just a supplement, but it helps.

I'm really happy; the past 1.5w has been really stressful for me because I love him so much and can't bear to think that something might be hurting/ailing him.
I'll be buying the Nature's Answer milk thistle later today when I get a chance. Any suggestion in terms of how much should be added to a daily water serving?
I hope it's okay if the others also drink it, since they all share water containers.

Great news, hopefully it won’t ever come back

Yes, that is the right one. I put 30 drops per 400ml of water, but I know that people put different amounts. Hezz, what do you suggest?

Oh and yes birdies, it's a supplement, so it's okay if the others share the water.

I only use three to four drops per 100 mls water with the high concentration milk thistle.

Hey everyone, hope you guys are doing alright. Marshmallow's been fine the past few months (wanted to update y'all), no new growths -- just a typically happy baby. I bought extract for him, but now that it has *finally* arrived, I think that I bought the wrong one, and I'd like to double-check with you before I give him anything. See, mine hays "Milk Thistle Seed" on it, and I didn't notice the difference before I bought it. Please let me know if this is safe for him, and if so, how much per 100 mL should I give? Thank you in advance!

Glad he's been his happy self.
I see its alcohol free, so that's good. Can you take a close up shot of the ingredients on the back of the label?

Yeah, I remembered you guys stressing that it has to be alcohol-free, so I was searching for that. I hope this photo's good enough, please let me know if I should take one more or if you want me to type up what it says. The liquid inside is a milky light-orange; is that the color it should be?
Reason I'm asking about this is because Marianne Marlow posted a picture of her's, and I didn't see it until today, when mine came in the mail. Mine says that it's a milk thistle seed extract, her's doesn't. I was wondering if there's a difference, you know?

That picture looks good to me. I'll tag a couple of folks to help you with the dosage. Marianne Marlow Hezz

I think it's okay, not sure about the dosage, mine isn't as strong as this one.
