That video is adorable I love it when Bailee sticks his head in I have to warn you now that you spoiled us with a video we will want more of those as well

 

I can't believe its been a week already pretty soon he will be grown and flying around

 

He certainly will!! I'm waiting for the day when his little pinny crest starts to show through, it shouldn't be more than 4-5 days now. I first saw Bailee when he was 10 days old, and he had pin feathers showing on his wings and a tiny little pinny crest.

 

What an adorable video of a gorgeous lil fam Am I ever jelous *sigh* lol

Wow one week already I think he is getting even cuter if that is possible

 

wow he kinda looks like a baby pigeon only without the huge beak LOL

 

I just got a call from the vet with the results from the poo samples i took in on Monday. Cookie and Bailee HAVE got something wrong with them, there is a high number of gram negative bacteria and yeasts so i have to go pick up some antibiotics for them today. First i need to get onto mum though, cause it's not cheap and i don't have money on me right now.

I have to say i'm a little scared, the vet started the conversation with "are they still with us?". He said that Cookie and Bailee need to be dosed twice a day, so i can give it to them directly once a day, and medicate the water for the other dose. Snickers will get the meds from Cookie and Bailee, and the vet said they shouldn't affect him badly. He's probably got the same diseases Cookie and Bailee have, so it's just as important for him to get the medication.

Hopefully everyone will come out of this ok, i'm glad i took the poop samples in when i did because it sounds like it can just kill them unexpectedly if left untreated.

 

oh my please keep us updated i,m glad you took action right away

 

Oh Bea! We will keep you guys in our prayers! I am glad you got on it right away! Keep us posted!

 

Hi Bea, We are glad that the vet sorted it out but what do they have ???

 

The vet didn't give me a name for what they have, just that there are lots of gram negative bacteria (which are the bad sort, gram positive bacteria is the normal good sort) and yeasts in their poops.

 

oh no i hope that they will be fine.

 

Oh Bea I am so glad you didn't wait any longer and took the samples in, hopefully everything will be ok, my thoughts are with you.

 

Oh no Iam glad you caught it early. Let us know how everything goes.

 

They should be right with the antibiotics Bea. Good luck and snickers is adorable!

 

I was thinking about it, and the only thing that Cookie and Bailee have been getting that none of the others have been is wet egg and biscuit food. Maybe with the moisture it's going off during the day and has caused their bacterial infection. I will just leave it dry for them now i think, and see if it makes a difference.

 

Ohno Bea! Good thing you caught it right away

Hmm... that sure sounds like it may have something to do with it! I hope it helps by decreasing it...

Sorry to hear Bea. It's a good thing that you were pro-active.

How long do they still need to eat the biscuit food?

By the way, Snickers looks very comfy amongst the eggs.

Hang in there.

How long do they still need to eat the biscuit food?

They don't really need to eat it at all, it's just a good soft food which can make feeding bubs easier.

 

Good call Bea!! That's what knowing your animals/birds is all about. I hope the antibiotics start to work really fast for them and little Snickers of course.

 

Good catch on the egg food, I sure those antibiotics will kick in soon

 

Here's Snickers latest photo, screaming for a feed from his mummy.

 

Very cute I remember Spike doing his static cry, I thought he was never going to stop Does Snickers do that yet?

 

They look so cute when there at this age like they have big goggles on

 

I have an announcement, Snickers had a little hiss today, lol!!

 

How cute!!!!! I can't believe he is already 8 days old, hurry up and grow baby we want to see what you will look like
