We're at the vet now... Pico is getting x-rays done. She says that whatever it is, it's very serious.  |

She thinks he has a virus, so is going to prescribe an antiviral medicine, deworm him with Panacur, and give him a Vitamin B shot.
His x-rays are normal.
He is blind.

Poor little guy has been through a lot already in his short life. I hope it is smooth sailing from here on out.  |

Aww I hope this works for your little guy. Poor little dude. He's definitely had it rough.

The normal x-rays and blood work mean that there's no heavy metal toxicity, which was her first thought.
She thinks he has some sort of virus, and the other birds aren't affected because they're completely different species. How he got it, who knows?

Hoping that little Pico will be feeling better soon.

Wow, a virus? You must be breathing a sigh of relief that it is not a neurological disorder. I read a wonderful (but sad) article this morning about a kitten who was blind - unfortunately it had major health issues but lived to be around 10 months of age. The lady who took him in was just wonderful and this kitty had a brilliant life with her. Pico will have the same sort of life with you. Thank goodness you took him in. Let me know if you need anything (you know what I mean) |
