Charlies doing fine he had a mild bactierial infection or
something like that. Ive got the medication and am
adminisering it as the Doc. perscribed. Neomyocine i think it
is. anyhow its only for a couple of days so the Doc says
theres no worries of aspergillosis after the antibiotic
treatment (For those of you who may not know birds are
succeptible to the fungis after they have been compramized my
antibiotic treatment and illness). Charlies also just got a
new and very large cage so he's happy about that. Oh and the
vet also said that for his age and previous care charlie is in
unusually great health. We're gonna knock out this little
bactierial thing and continue to work on his diet (all seed at
this point).
