Poor Sprite

[lemonade]

We had a bit of a fright with Sprite earlier. Poor girl was being sick, not regurgitating, but shaking her head and retching kind of sick, with seeds flying everywhere.
I think it was because she fell quite hard on the floor after a scuffle with Custard over a bath. Custard lunged at her as she tried to get into the bird bath on top of the cage and she fell on the carpet. She was ok but then about 30-45mins later she started being sick. I panicked. I was set for a vet trip but now shes stopped and just sat on her perch and went for a nap. Shes not fluffed up or anything.
I hope its just a result of her fall maybe upsetting her seeds in her crop and shes been sick to get them all out and feel comfortable. Im keeping a close eye. Poor princess

How worrying... Poor both of you. Maybe just a big shake up, hopefully she is back to normal now

[OP]

Oh dear!, Very worrying indeed. I also hope she is OK.

prob exactally what you have said but if she is sick like that again then maybe a vet check would be good as my Elf was sick like this on a number of occasions and it was due to a crop infection xxxxxxx

Poor Sprite. I also hope it was as you're thinking and she's back to normal soon.

Oh dear little sprite. Hope she's better after a sleep.

I think she is ok, phew. She has had her nap, had some alone time, then let Paddy feed her, then ate loads of seeds and she's played with the basketball and threw loads of toys off the table. I managed to get a little video of her. Still keeping a close eye on her but so far so good. She's such a sensitive wee thing

[ffiscool]

Sounding good. Hopefully all done and dusted and right as rain

It is a scary thing when they vomit. I am happy Sprite seems to be back on track. I'd be watching her like a hawk for the next few days.

Oh poor Sprite Sounds very frightening! Glad she seems no worse for wear now though.

I have never witnessed it myself but bet that was really distressing for you! Fingers crossed like the others said it was just out of alarm/panic - how is she today lemonade?

[lemonade]

She is ok samwiseg, they're still in bed, I'm letting them have a lie in as they were up late last night. I've peeked in her cage a few times this morning and she just yawned at me. It was a fright. I felt so helpless. Good thing is she's ok

[samwiseg]

PHEW! Glad she is ok

[mizloco]
