Oh no that's awful
I have a parrot myself (a Senegal) and I know it can be really difficult to get good veterinary care for them for even the most minor of ailments. Anaesthesia is always such a risk for them, and you certainly need a specialist anaesthetist and surgeon to carry out this procedure. I would be beside myself.


Parrots are very special and precious and delicate creatures, I am sending all the vibes I can muster to Fred.

Still sending prayers and hugs from Mississippi for you, and Josh, and Fred.



Please know that I am thinking about ya'll.

Please let us know something when you know something.

I most definately will. My vet said that he would call me tomorrow before lunch, so I'll update you guys when we know whats going on. Freds in a pretty good mood this morning. Still acting like the same old Fred. This has all just happened so fast. He's only around 16, he should still have a long long life ahead of him.

I am glad that Fred is in a good mood this morning.

Tell Josh too that I am thinking of him and praying for him. I hope Josh feels a little better today.

Thanks sweetie


He tends to lurk through my account, so I know that he read all of this this morning. He said that he appreciates all of ya'lls thoughts and prayers, they mean a lot to him. He is much more optimistic this morning, yesterday I couldn't get him to look at the positive side of things. I'm trying to stay strong for him, I know this is all going to be horribly tough for him. (If you're reading this baby, I love you!
)

Thanks so much, you guys can keep me looking up when nothing else can. I'm praying for good news in the morning.

Just hang in there, and Josh if you are reading this, I am thinking about you and praying for you and for Fred.

The power of prayer here is awesome.

Yes it is!!


Belinda, can you reccomend any cheap (not cockroach cheap) hotels near the college? I've got a list a mile long that I'm about to start checking rates on. I don't know how long I'll be down there (if we even get accepted) but I'm trying to start getting everything ready to go. They will of course have to accept Fred being there...any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated, I've never even been to that part of the states and I may have to go by myself.

I hope that we get accepted. Our vet has worked with birds for 25 years and said that he's never seen anything like this.

I will look and see what I can find out. I will post a thread about it on the LSU board that I belong to and see what someone down there can tell me.

I posted a thread on the LSU board so we will see what happens. Maybe it won't take too long for someone to help me.

They like me over there.
They think that I am nice.

Someone else from the LSU board posted that the Sheraton downtown by the casino is the closest hotel to the vet school.

I'll look into that one too.

Something tells me I won't get much sleep tonight.
