It's been one week since I took PeeGee to the vet and she gave injections of calcium and vitamin A. For the next several days, she was very sick, with a drooping wing andgeneral weakness. Very quiet, no flying. Just sitting quietly, which is not normal, since she is usually a very active and vocal bird.
Saturday I started giving her some homeopathic remedies -- echinacea to boost immune system, and aloe vera juice as a cleanse and antibacterial agent (it's relatively tasteless, so you can put it in the water).
Little by little she is improving, and has started flying again. Her feathers and coloring look better. I am hopeful that she will recover (even though I don't know what is wrong with her), but continue to watch her closely and give her as much vitamin-rich food as she will eat, in case it is a diet deficiency. I think this is one of those instances where the bird has to heal itself (of course, I do as much as I can, too).
Thanks to the group for all prayers, good wishes and advice!
