It seems like we just can't get our head above water lately.
Our African Grey Parrot, Fred has been sick all week. We thought he had a respiratory infection, or some sort of allergic reaction to something but when he wasn't responding to the medications we took him back in today.
Our Vet did x-rays and blood work and we found out that Fred has a tumor or a cyst or something (he can't be sure) growing in his neck that is obstructing his airway. My vet is awesome but doesn't have the technology to handle something like this so Monday he is calling the Vets that he studied under at LSU. Surgery will be dangerous in itself, but it may be the only chance that he has.
If these doctors think that they can help we may be trying to scrape up the money for a trip to Louisiana.
We're already stretched with taking care of Bea. We just can't catch a break it seems.
Will you guys please pray for Fred? My vet is getting in touch with the vets at LSU Monday morning and is supposed to call me after he speaks with them so we'll know more then. Please pray that its something that is treatable, and pray that we'll find the funds to make it happen. Being that its a school, we may get by cheaper but its still going to be a stretch.
Thank you guys so much for being so supportive lately.
