MIKA'S A LITTLE UNWELL

[ANDY MAC]

I took Mika to the vets today, thought she had the on set of megabacteria, she's been down for a couple of days and bringing up spittle, and looking tired, her droppings are normal.
The vet listened to her Brest and said there's a slight clicking/rattle on the lunges/ air sacks, so she is now on antibiotics twice daily for 4-6 days and also had some treatment for mites if there is any.
She is now in her hospital cage on her own for a week to see how things go, and she seems more brighter and happier now, also her feathers are in very good condition the vet said.
So fingers crossed

fingers cross and i hope all goes well for her

[ANDY MAC]

Thankyou, Mika is a tough little bird and I'm sure she will be well soon, she is now on her swing on one foot chewing her seed, a lot better the yesterday, But we have a long way to go yet before I'm 100% sure she is ok.

Sorry to hear this Andy, if it's air sac mite, anti-biotics will do the job nicely

[ANDY MAC]

Thanks guy's, they maybe little but they do make you worry, from being tip top then become sick so quick, you think to yourselve what have I done wrong.
Ive not come across air sac mites before, not sure were they come from if that is what the problem is, I hope I've cought things in time.

hope she starts to improve for you

[Hezz]

Sounds like you are doing the right things for her, Andy. And she is already looking up - that's great! Come on, Mika, fight those fiesty mites!

[theswann]

Get well soon Mika - really hope she continues to improve Andy, as hezz said, sounds like you're doing all the right things

[barrieshutt]

Andy i would dose all of your birds with chevi col twice a year as it may be canker your bird is suffering from.

[sarah*glittergirl2212]

I hope the improvements continue until she is fighting fit again

[ANDY MAC]

Mika seems her usual self now,the past few days she has been like a new bird,her colouring seems more darker and normal too, it's been a hard job giving the antibiotic (Bytril) excuse the spelling, some days she was stubborn but we managed,even Ollie kept flying and landing on me while I was trying to give the med's.
Today Is the last day but I will leave her in her hospital cage over the weekend to see how things go, thanks Barrie I will check that out about canker.
