OK its a bit of a tale but here goes
Remember when Bernie (then Baby Fluff) landed in my tea? Well, we made a trip to the vets at the time and I was told not to worry it all looks fine, keep applying aloe vera to soothe it. On Wednesday, he started holding his left leg up and not using it at all, so back to the vets where, the vet told me that it's because the scalded skin is healing and has got a bit tight and is probably sore (I have been applying aloe vera twice a day since the incident). He was given an antibiotic injection -because with all this applying aloe to his leg, he doesn't much like being handled right now and I couldn't guarantee I could get the exact required dose into his mouth, and it was more precautionary anyway.
Anyway, he is still holding up his leg and not walking on it but since Thursday night Puku has stopped flying and coming out her cage. She is eating, drinking, preening and stuff, her poos look normal and she can fly just won't. I have made an appointment at the vets but they didn't have one for any earlier than Monday!
I was wondering if anyone thinks (and I realise this might sound ridiculous but..) that it might be in sympathy for Bernie (who she loves even more than her coconut and broccolli put together) as since he started holding his leg up he hasn't been particularly active either but does come out and fly around.
Any clues anyone?
