Cosmo Gave Us A Scare!

Well after having Cosmo for almost a year he decided to give me and Hughie a bit of a scare.  He became ill!

One morning I uncovered Cosmo to find something on his cage cover like he had regurgitated so I asked Hughie to keep an eye on him that day after making sure he ate some breakfast.  By the time I got home that night Cosmo had started having very watery poops.  He was still eating but definitely not himself at all, followed by him being a bit sick.

So the next day we got an appointment with the avian vet and Hughie took him where he got tests and checks.  He was given an injection of antibiotic and we picked him up that night.  He was really just eating and sleeping, he was so quiet which is certainly not like him at all.

The next few days we took him back each morning to get another injection of antibiotic and luckily by the Sunday we saw a great improvement in Cosmo.  He was playing and talking again.  What a relief!!!

We still don’t know what caused Cosmo to be ill but the vet had said it could have been something underlying.  We’re just so glad to have our boy back to being the noisy and cheeky chap that he is.

And as you can see from the photos he’s enjoying being fussed over just as much as before.
