jewel21 May 2, 2016 Share May 2, 2016 Aww, what a cutie. Poor baby. I'm glad he finally found his forever home! When I got Steve he was 2 months old and had never seen the inside of a cage or been handled by a human. He was feral, hissed constantly and bit me like crazy. I had to wear two pairs of gloves to try and handle him and he still made me bleed he bit so hard. Now he will reluctantly let me give him a kiss but he's not happy about it, haha. And if he does bite me, it's not hard at all. So, you know, progress. The little guy is going for a blood test tomorrow to see if his liver has improved (he's been on oral meds twice a day since January) and I feel bad bringing him. He hates the vet and it takes him days to recover after having blood drawn. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3520-small-talk-out-of-genoa/page/18/#findComment-2200999

Also sometimes if I google products the pictures of them and packaging are wrong. Something that's right often is did you know that most plu are universal?

jewel21 May 11, 2016 Share May 11, 2016 (edited) So Steve's biochem results came in. He's doing well. The liver is much better. The proteins are back in the normal ranges, although his bile acids are still low. After this month, I can stop the oral treatment and he can just get the powders on his food and we can retest in a year. And I no longer have to give him apple cider vinegar mixed in his water. We also did a hematology to make sure the respiratory infection isn't back and thankfully that came back normal as well. I just have to continue keeping an eye on his breathing and if I notice a change, bring him in so we can start treatment right away, but so far so good. Who knows, maybe one day Steve will be a normal bird, and not have the health woes normally associated with a 90 year old raging alcoholic, heh. Seriously, he's not even 4 years old yet, haha.
