Smile Echo and Vern went to the Vet today!

The main reason I made the appointment was because of Vern and his feather issue and since Echo had not been seen in a while I decided to take them both.

Both Vern and Echo got a clean bill of health with neg gram stains also.

I did have a DNA on Vern so I will know for sure if he is really a boy. He also clipped only 4 of Vern's flights so he can still glide to the floor and not drop like a rock like they do with a severe clip.

I have also started Vern on the Nekton Bio for feather growth that was recommended by someone here I think. The Vet said it was a good additive to put in his water and to use it till he has a full molt and shows no further signs of feather destruction.
