Elle

Hubby took our pet cockatiel to the Vet for a check up yesterday because she was looking sick. I just noticed it the other night before we went to bed that she could hardly move from one percher to the other inside her cage and kept on falling down. Then the following morning when I woke up, I checked her right away and saw her at the bottom of the cage still looking sick and while I was having my breakfast, I noticed that she didn't even bother to eat her seeds, which she normally does every time we are having our breakfast she eats too. I felt more worried and woke up hubby who was still asleep because he came home at about 2:00 am in the morning for I couldn't take Elle to the Vet myself because I have to take Dorothy to her tennis lesson.
The Vet said that she must have eaten something poisonous recently, probably a metal that made her sick. We have 2 metal clips inside her cage which we used for clipping cuttlefish shells for a quite a while now. We believe that she must be chewing those. We took the clips out and even moved away Christmas decorations which were close to her cage. She was given a special anti biotic and she is feeling a lot better now and will due for another check up tomorrow and the day after.
