I think Luee is better since starting on Baytril and Metacam. He has been much more lively and vocal over the weekend. It has been relatively easy and untraumatic catching and droppering him this time - no broken blood feathers so far.
I was alarmed the second day of weighing him when it seemed that he had lost another 3g but then I noticed that the pellets were pretty much untouched and he was probably just extremely hungry. He and Berry have since been treated to millet, egg stick and dry seed like they haven't had for months and Luee has been tucking in with gusto. He has regained 2g.
Who knows what is going on with him though, as the vet didn't think a respiratory issue was likely to be the primary problem so the antibiotics are just a bit of a shot in the dark. It could be that pain relief is masking some other problem too. I can't bear to think of little Berry being left alone if Luee does has something major...
He is a wee clip of them mutual preening - utterly devoted as usual. I wonder if Berry finds the odd bit of food in there giving him a bit of a snack!

Hope he really is on the mend.
