TDC, Benji and Cricket

Went to the AV for Benji today and for Crickets follow up on his bacteria infection. Crickets bacteria is gone but he now has a yeast infection!!! Vet said its not unusual and is typically compounded by, but not caused by, doughy things like bread or crackers, stuff like that. So its two more weeks of meds for Cricket!!
Benji showed signs of a slight bacteria infection so he is meds now too. Which means in two weeks when I take Zoey in for her well bird check up, I will be bring three birds!!
Vet says Benji and Cricket both have this thing called TDC. Its very likely that all four of my birds have it. She said its very common and typically not diagnosed. Fortunately TDC is not life threatening but they usually have to live with it their whole lives.

Oh yeah.............. TDC is Too Dang Cute!!! hehehehe sorry for any heart failure.......

The AV also told me it is ok to give the ACV in the water while on the meds as well. I also found out I was not using enough ACV. 15 ml to a liter of water. I kind of giggled when she said get a bottle and keep it in the frig for the birds. I use a liter of water every morning. lol No need for more special bottles!! I already keep a two gallon jug in the frig for the fids!
