So Puff is down to 291 grams as of today. After discussing this with Don from The Chloe Sanctuary, I'm going to do a 1/1 ratio of medication and water dilution to slowly find her baseline and try to help get her appetite up. I'm also going to make more effort in getting her to take some of the hand feeding formula I currently feed one of the other birds on a daily basis. Normally she gets a few mouthfuls of some whole my focus is on Calypso who has a damaged beak, she enjoys this formula so I'm going to see if I can get her to get her weight up by supplementing some of the formula for a short time.

It has been a while since my last post and even longer since this all started and I only have positivity to share. Puff is getting .02 ml of meds every morning, and only in the morning. So she gets one dose only, every morning with her breakfast, no evening dose and she is doing so amazing. The reason I chose to try cutting out the evening dose was because she was falling from her sleeping perch during the night, and most nights. Because I'm a very light sleeper I would hear her flap and get up to find her on the bottom of her cage looking stunned and a bit dazed.

Second dose at 8:30 a.m. and again no symptoms or side affects. We are starting out with a .03 ml solution and will increase by .01 ml every two days until I get to the right dose for her.

Because the amount of liquid was getting so high I switched back to the 1/1 ratio of water/medication. So now I'm giving her 03 ml of the new mixture as of last night. She is still eating so well and showing her wonderful personality. At last check she was still messing with her feathers so it is a slow process but I will keep pushing forward.
