i have come to love Apollo through your videos, is he better?

[JonDuanePerry]

@vivavasquez He's doing just fine!

[Amandah86]

aw poor apollo. How did he get the infection?

[JonDuanePerry]

He was sick about 6 months ago and I think this was a relapse. For some reason captive parrots are horrible at fighting infections. We have him on the same dose of antibiotics he was on before but this time its less per dose with more doses. He's recovering wonderfully.

This may be because they do not have access to "herbal remedies" they may have sought on their own if living in the wild. Whatever nutritional alteration they could make in the wild is obviously unavailable in captivity. Do you think that the respiratory infection could have anything to do with the parrot going outside or getting too cold? Is the cause known by any chance? Hope he gets better soon.

I just moved from Tennessee to Oregon and we camped the entire way. That's my guess as to what did it. Strange sleeping patterns and constant change of temperature must have made him weak. He's doing better now it seems.

Why don't you just use water?

he trusted me more than his other buddies...but since all those feeding episodes,he was reluctant to even step up on my finger...so i totally agree with spoon feeding sick birds.they find it playful and that keeps them happier and healthier.i stopped forcing my bird and and he went back to normal in like a week.he's the happiest boy now:)i hope your bird never gets sick again! cuz it hurts like a knife when they get ill !!

my parrot got injured ion the eye lid...he was talking and chirping on his way to the emergency clinic...the doctor prescribed some eye drops for him and some medicine to be fed to him through a syringe...i had to forcefully feed him that and hold him like that to put those eye drops in his eyes....trust me,that scared the poor little guy like any thing...he was having a fever the next day from all the extra care,his droppings were runny...he was not eating and just wanted to sleep.

Thanks for the advice-wouldn't hurt to get all birds used to drinking a treat from a spoon before they even get sick so you will have better chance of getting the meds in

What happens if your bird tries to cough it up?

Thank you for posting this! My Tiel is on Di-Trim and it's SUPER to get him to drink from the syringe. He even flies away from me when he sees me holing it! :(
