Can you mix some hardboiled egg, or eggfood in with some of his fresh vegies? Roll his millet spray in it before giving it to him?

Booms, I know with Giardia in people it can quite often not show up in tests, it might be worthwhile getting him retested. Perhaps print some info out for the vet and ask if maybe he can be treated for it (it's antibiotics) as a preventative? I normally would hate someone suggesting that, but maybe it's advisable in this case

I'll try it with the millet spray.

Ive had him tested twice Lin already, but I know what you mean I suppose I could ask if he could be treated but I dont know if this would do more harm if he hasnt got it.

My new vet mind you prescribed Tobi with Baytrill even though she wasnt actually diagnosed with anything.

I will ring them on Monday to find out. Tobi needs to go back sometime next week so I could take him along too.

Thanks for suggesting that.

My vet suggested trying the following for protein:- CeDe egg food mix,chick rearing feed,chicken,dog food(!).I also use egg food bars which they have all started eating now so I am beginning to mix hard boiled egg(which they won't eat) in with the CeDe which they like anyway. However-they will only eat it out of one certain dish! This one has a mirror at the back of it so maybe thonk along those lines?

Jules, what are egg food bars? Do you buy them or make them. They sound delicious

[Julie]

I buy them Lin-they are the one bird food I am always tempted to try-they look lovely!Sometimes called egg biscuits?They look like little sponge bars and they contain whole eggs,wheat flour,sugar(tut tut)poppy seeds. Supposedly 11% protein.

Don't think we have them here. Give Perth a decade, and we might catch up. Not saying we're behind the times or anything, but hey, now we are just starting to get the cement perches

I know those egg food bars I will get some and make extra egg for them tomorrow and mix it with the Cede stuff.

Thanks for all your help guys!
