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.

So I've been giving Puff the 1/1 mixture at 05 ml for a week now. She has some new feathers, so all I can do is watch and see. Her personality is in full bloom, she's still the picky eater I know her to be. With me giving her hand feeding formula twice a day, fresh foods and her daily nuts and pellets her weight is staying steady at about 315 grams.

Her weight is still hanging just under the 300 mark, so trying to get creative but it seems the only thing she's interested in eating is the formula. On a separate and personal note, I found out yesterday I have a kidney infection which explains my total lack of energy. And partially why I haven't posted for a couple of days. Puff is once again getting some new feathers in and so far they are staying full. So will just have to watch and see. I now understand why I was asked to commit to three months before giving up. Also, I can now understand why so many do give up on this treatment. It is taking quite a toll on Puff and myself and we have hit a few bumps alrea...
