Today Puff is up a gram to 302 and I'll take it. Not down, but up, slow and steady is just fine with me. She's still not all that interested in other foods but did eat a couple cashews last night, and still taking the formula well. I'm still at 5 ml of the 2/1 solution, it seems she is stabilizing out and doing better so I'll stay at that amount for a bit just to see how she does. Of course I'm seeing more new feathers as well, and in one pick caught her mid grind 😍
Well I've decided to with the 2/1 mixture and see how it goes. So starting her on 05 ml of that mixture. She's eating the formula fairly well, tonight she may have overage a bit and she just threwvup a bit, it wasn't regurgitation, so I'm hoping it was just from overeating and is just a one time thing. 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
OK so puff weighed in yesterday at 308 grams and I was so happy. However, in closer inspection of that photo and looking at her I saw some feathers that she did her first step of damage to. I'll try to explain here, the first thing she does is bite the tip off so what is left is a v shape of the rest of the feather, then she will chew on that. Well if you look at the picture provided which is the one I posted the other day I noticed a few v shapes. This let me know I took the medication too low, so yesterday I went back to .03 ml and in that small increase I'm already noticing her show less interest in foods again. She's still eating and her morning weight was 295 grams.  Ugghhh.
