I brought Bluie to Dr Ly for a second opinion. I purposely arrived at 945am to be the first walk-in customer coz i couldn't book a appt. And i was lucky to called in at 1110am. So lucky! Was expecting a 3 hr wait. Dr Ly called me in, saw the referral letter, examine Bluie and said," There's nothing left on this bird." Yea it is really very skinny. The keel bone feels like a razor blade.
His dianogsis is Bluie has renal failure. Ordered me to stop all medication and start homeopathic treatment. Wanted to gave me Bach's rescue remedy but i told him i had. He asked if i fed it i say i didn't i only applied on the feet. Haha! I was worried about feeding coz it's a tincture ma. Anyway, i think he must be laughing at the feet application. So i was given all renal supplements. I even need to stop all my handfeeding stuff but only give the food supplement for renal failure (low protein) Bluie is also given the Thrive D powder which i have no idea wat's inside. So now the new feeding food would be Nutripet + renal food powder + thrive D powder. All amounts are agaration. That was what he said. And have to feed as often as possible. Well, i have no problem for weekends. Just the weekdays. Nowdays, i am passing the handfeeding job to Yida so that i get to go home. At least now i know that it's not some infectious disease that could spread to my own flock.
Dr Ly says if Bluie is still alive for 10 days, go back to him but he doubt Bluie can. Shortly after i leave the clinic, Dr Tong actually called. I told him what was diagnosed and he told me to follow Dr Ly's instruction since antibiotics did not respond. He even explained he can't diagnose that as only blood test can proved it. I must stressed that Dr Tong from AAVC is really a nice, fanstantic vet. I think i would bring my birdies to Dr Tong for yearly checkup.
Thoughts been running through my mind. It must be fate that the bird came to me for help. The money we spent on Bluie, we will take it as for charity. During a period of time, I did have tots of euthanizing Bluie since it is suffering. With so many days of nursing, i did grew abit feelings towards it. I guess it's now my job to nurse it till its last day. I will give my best for the last bit of journey of Bluie.
Just be strong, Bluie
