i have done the physical therapy 4 times a day sometimes everyday, ive banaged his feet everyday as instructed by my vet, his feet are certainly stronger. Now i see its not his feet its his legs as the vet instructed. When i put his feet on my fingers where they belong as to perch his legs point totaly out to the side, as if our elbows would do if we put our hands on our hips. He cant walk or balance enough to pick up anything with his feet, he cant perch. But we go back to the vet for check up if he can correct them i leave him for surgery, if not we will adapt.
Thank you for all your support, i needed this, my inlaws and some of my freind say i am being selfish he will never have a good quality of life, and some say hes a waste of my time. ( i think he takes alot of time but my girls and my husband are all supportive, i work with three guys ALL OF WHICH ARE SUPPORTIVE, (and he goes to work with me everyday) so these people are the ones im with the most and evidently the ones who know me the most and care about my feelings and whats most important to me, not how much time im taking from them. But i do worry am i being selfish. He plays with toys, plays and cuddles with us, very vocal, he will be able to fly, and he can eat with his mouth, so what if he cant use his feet, Right?
Wish us luck and pray pray pray, that he can fix it with surgery, i find out tonight if it is worth trying, not gonna put him through it if its not.
Surgery will be tomarrow if he can fix it, i cried all nite, dont want to leave him over night, hes been with me every second for a month, what if they miss a feeding, what if he gets to cold, what if they dont feed him right and he chokes. what about the antisteisa? Do they give birds anything for pain? I AM TERRIFIED!!!!!!
Will write tomarrow and let you know if we did surgery.
BUT THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT
