Because so many of you are fairly new and might not be familiar with all the messaging pages on our left sidebar, I thought I'd introduce you to Brainz Blessings. In the beginning of 2001, when our "flock" numbered 800, Sno started a messenging area called Brainz Blessings. This page was created specifically for sharing inspirational messages, and requesting prayer when you or your family are going through difficult times. Sno's philosophy was that "our site is primarily for the care of our feathered friends, but if their human nesties aren't happy and healthy, the birds sense it and we would like to be here for each other."

Heck, Annie ... you can put them wherever you want! It's just that it makes it easier sometimes to have them all together when referring back to something. And I thought it was a good opportunity to let new members know what the page was for. Abby |

I'm guilty of putting what few things I post on New Discussions in "General" since it seems to be the one we all seem to go to first. Thanks for the reminder. I'll start today to use that sidebar better. |

We can still read in the All Messages page and use the drop down under the discussion title to choose a different board to post to. (Where is my grammar hiding? ) I simply forgot to do it. Annie |

Hi Everyone,
My name is Leigh I used to belong to ParrotPals beginning in 2002 for a long time. I looked for the group again and couldn't find it. I looked at your group and everyone seems so nice here too. I have a YN Amazon named Wheezer. She is 5 years old. I got her when she was around 8-10 weeks old. She was so healthy and happy and quite the talker! About a week and a half ago she stopped talking, eating and wouldn't even drink water in one day. The day before she seemed fine. I found a vet about an hour and a half from me, which is really good, considering I live in the middle of nowhere in the Pocono Mnts. of Pa. She was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver. Her X-Ray showed she has a very small liver, which the Vet said she was born with. Her bloodwork for her liver enzymes were so far off, the vet couldn't believe she was alive. They kept her over night medicated her and said she began eating on her own. They gave me meds. she has to take everyday. I have to grab her, wrap her in a towel and force her to take it. I also have to force feed her on the days she doesn't eat a thing. She has completely stopped playing, talking, she just stands on her perch and stares or sleeps. We always knew when it was 4:30 in the afternoon, because for some reason, Wheezer played with her bell then. My son used to yell out "4:30!" Wheezer was only quiet when she slept. She would watch "Sesame Street." Now...nothing. The vet told me she could live a few mos. or maybe a few years. I wonder about quality of life. I wonder if she will ever get used to me forcing stuff down her throat twice a day. I am so heartbroken for her and myself. It's making me cry just to type this. She shakes when I come up to her cage now, even when I just want to talk to her. I am home alone all the time. Wheezer was such a joy in my life. Wheezer and I talked a lot. She sang to me. Does anyone have any experience with a bird having this disease?
Thanks so much for your time,
Leigh

Awww ... I'm so sorry about Wheezer, Leigh!!! I'm going to repost this in its own thread so hopefully someone who has had experience with Cirrhosis in birds will see it and reply to you. Crys (Lady Byrdbell) closed Parrot Pals because she was involved in too many things, and didn't feel she was able to give it the attention required. She pops in here from time to time. Meanwhile, welcome to The Nest! Abby |
