Sydney's AV visit

Took Sydney to his AV for his 6 month check up and to have some tests done.

Sydney's in great shape, growing and developing as he should be. He's 87 grams, up about 3 1/2 from last visit. Optimum is 90 grams..so we're heading in the right direction.

The AV had him slated for the STAT & Gram Stain. We also had him do the Chlamydia Latex Titer....PBFD-Beak & Feather Virus sample....PVD-Polyoma PCR sample and PsHV 1-4 Herpes Virus PCR sample.

We'll get the results back in 7-10 days....the AV is not expecting any problems.

Sydney was a trooper during all this..only let one little chirp out when the AV put the needle in his neck to draw blood. Other than that he was great. And so was the AV..he talked to Sydney constanly..sometimes so low..we could hardly hear him. When he was done he sat Sydney on his knee..Sydney just sat there..didn't try to fly away or jump off.

So it was a good , though costly visit....just shy of $500.00 But we're talking Sydney here so no big deal.

I think I should have gotten a DVM instead of a PhD at the vet school

Seriously, I'm delighted the little one is doing so well!!

Right! Forgot about that. Well if we don't see you in Pomona, have a great trip. Take lots of pics.

Thank you. He's only 18 months old, so until he's fully matured and developed we will be taking him in every 6 months for a check-up. After that, once a year. Of course that depends on what his AV says.
