- Create one forum thread per pet. If you have more than one case, create a thread for each animal.-Monk parrot has tumorYour pet's name
- Approximate age-Xiaobao
- Sex-4 and a half years old
- Neutering status-girl
- Breed-No ligation issues
- Approximate weight-II laid nine eggs in March this year, but there was no mating.
- What's their BEAM (behavior, energy, appetite, mood)-The current weight is 92 grams, and it was 98 grams in September.
- Diet-Lethargy, poor mental condition, decreased activity, poor appetite, restlessness and discomfort at night, making weak sounds. I used to rest on higher branches, but now squats in the corner, and my foot support becomes worse.
- Vaccination history / exposure to toxins, other medication-Currently, cereals are the main ingredient, with grapes or willows added every day, and occasionally apples.
- Primary problem, when it began and if there was anything else happening around that time-In the past, I would chew metal shavings in the birdcage. I don’t know if this was mainly responsible for the tumor. Now I am given Chinese medicine.
- Is the condition better or worse from exercise, heat, cold, time of day, certain foods, emotional upset, being touched, excitement, etc?-In August, I found it hiding in the corner of the birdcage, unable to rest peacefully on the wooden pole. In September, its good friend, another Autumn Grass Parrot, passed away. It was very sad, and its mental state was even worse. It was lethargic, and the doctor said I took an X-ray and found a suspected tumor above my kidney. I was prescribed liver-strengthening and choleretic drugs. My urine had a smell. However, my condition did not improve and I gradually lost weight, from 98 grams to 92 grams. By December , another X-ray was taken, and the suspected tumor did not disappear, nor did it increase in size. How can I strengthen his appetite and reduce his discomfort? Can it help him recover from health?
- Has any diagnostic work been done? Diagnosis if available (you can attach your diagnostic tests to the post if you have them)-It rarely moves, but will crawl in the birdcage. Sometimes it suddenly wants to fly, but the frequency is about twice a week, not much. In August, the air conditioner will be turned on to maintain a temperature of 27 degrees in summer. Now the room temperature is 23 degrees in winter. Its cage has 30 degrees is an acceptable temperature for him. I originally wanted to gain weight and fed him cereal flour, but I found that he was more restless at night, so I stopped feeding him. He likes to eat willow dices, grapes, and honey.
- Current and previous treatment-At present, it is difficult for doctors to judge his symptoms. They have to take X-rays
- Other health concerns-I used to take potions that strengthen the liver and promote gallbladder, but the effect was not great. Now I use traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis and replenishes qi, and the condition of hiding in corners is gradually improved.
