Valentine update.


Photo from one of our many trips to the Avian Vet this week. Frankie came that day since we had construction workers at our house.
Yesterday Vallie had a follow up X Ray and it came back clear. He's still at risk for a recurrence or relapse, but he passed the blockages in his intestines and proventiculum. (Yay!!) Scary thing is that while I now know it was originally cause by a toxicity, I have no idea what the microscopic poison he ingested was- only that it was some kind of metal. I'm already so careful about what's in his cage and his environment, and even the Vet said there's nothing more I can do to protect him. I don't like that it's not enough. :(
Otherwise I worked at the Vet this morning, and I have my last exams on Monday before my first year of studying animals and Veterinary Nursing concludes next week!
