So sorry Sparky is not well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him. Did the vet say what might be causing this? Keep a thick towel in the bottom of whatever cage you have him in, in case he is weak and loses his balance, he will land on a soft surface. Give him all of his favorite foods to keep him eating. Poor baby. Keep us posted.

I'm sorry.. did the vet this time tell you about keeping him warm, etc? I'd be wanting to strangle the first vet for not doing the bloodwork. Poor guy... Hopefully all will go well and the meds will help. Did this vet to any other testing to find out exactly what kind of bacteria or fungus, etc. might be making him sick? I'll keep you and your little guy in my thoughts... Just wondering, did you have this guy quarantined from your existing bird? Or is the vet going to examine your other bird, too? Some of their worst illnesses are airborne...

You should send a copy of the bills to the person you bought the bird from. Did you sign anything?

I really hope that all goes well... you have to think positive, no matter how bad things look. I'm glad this is a good vet! With birds they get so sick with little time of realizing they're ill... and they can't tell you what's wrong, either. Lots of positive vibes coming your way...
