I have been playing with polymer clay and cooking it for over a year. Recently I was told NOT to cook it in the home with bird. It hasn't bothered her but now I'm worried about it. I don't want to make her sick. I would appriciate any help.
I guess I could add that I belonged to the group before you moved. Julie is a blue Quaker and was 4 in July.

The most important thing now is not to expose her further. It's hard to know yourself if there has been any damage to her lungs, but if everything seems normal with her, I would just mention it to the vet at her next checkup, so he or she can carefully listen to her breathing with a stethoscope. If you're really worried about her, schedule an appointment for her now.

Sorry but I do not know much about the polymer clay but I do know that QP's have very small and sensitive lungs. Scented candles should not be burned in the house and any cleaning sprays must be kept as far away as possible.
Unfortunately my bird sitter does burn scented candles and oils and I cannot say anything. Oscar (at this point) does not show any bad signs but he is not there very long either.
When they have breathing problems you can usually hear them yourself especially when they are on your shoulder. Just be careful.
Good Luck

Thankyou for comments. When I got her I started being very careful about what I do or spray around her but I live in a camper so we don't have much space. I'm blessed with her sitter, it is the lady I got her from and she loves her first mama as much as she loves me.  I haven't noticed any strange noises from her breathing when she is on my shoulder. |
