Puff's FDB journey

This morning her weight is up to 298, I'm truly wanting to see her get over the three hundreds again, and get her appetite back. This is very concerning for me and with her at such a low dose I wonder if there is something else going on. Just not sure what is the right thing to do, I love the fact that she has new feather growth and is not chewing them, but she is at a lower weight then I ever have seen her.

OK this morning her weight was at 296 grams and her appetite is still down so I will be lowering her dose tonight. There IS confirmed new feathers that are NOT being chewed! That's huge! Look back on the first week pics and the ones I took today...

OK,  well no weight loss or gain,  either way that is quite the improvement. She is being a bit more lively and fiesty today as well. I asked her to step up and she gave me one foot and not the other, and chose to bite my finger. Not hard but enough to let me know she had an opinion about me moving too fast for likeness. It may not seem like much but to me it is huge, she is alert enough to not just comply with whatever and let me know she was unhappy about something. This is not something I have seen since starting this process and until it happened I didn't even realize it was missing. So making this little change seems to have made a big difference. Now let's get that weight back up! She did take a few bites of her favorite fruit today, banana, well second favorite, grapes are #1 but mainly for the juice so the banana actually gives her more. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic now that I've seen some natural behaviors come back. I know this is not something that is ea

Well, something seems to be working, she's up to 298 grams this morning. I've decided to take tins of pics at as many angles as possible, so here they are, enjoy.

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.
