Update on Squeaky my little Brown Throated Conure

For those of you who remember my post for prayers for Squeaky, well your prayers worked!. Squeaky is doing fine. He has been home over a week now, he spent 1 night in the bird hospital and I have been watching him closely.. He was diagnosed with arthritis. I had to pad his cage with a blanket on the bottom with paper over it, just in case he falls but he has not fallen. He gets Gabepantine 2 X per day per mouth, he is eating well and maintaining his weight. He is socializing with my other birds. I know he is extraordinarily old but I am so happy to still have him.

All of us who pray for the welfare of a person or a pet well know the power of prayer. 

 

Very glad Squeaky is thriving and enjoying his life. Perhaps you can find a piece of foam cushioning and cut it to fit the cage bottom so it can stay in place under the cage liner. It will be a softer landing than the blanket surface and easier to rinse off and dry when needed.

I am happy and excited for you and Squeaky.  Thank goodness he is feeling better.

 

One of my dogs takes Gabapentin too.  I think that drug makes her hungry.  I have a difficult time trying not to give her too many treats or second helpings when she’s begs with those soulful eyes.

I am so happy to hear that Squeaky is doing so well.  Sending more prayers in hopes that Squeaky continues on this path.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@conlt  I am so happy to read the encouraging news about Squeaky. 

 

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
