June-

June is back to his sweet old self, giving kisses, serenading me, and blessing me with his positive presence. This is the Junie we all fell in love with. Soo charming!

Ipyana-

Poor Ipyana. We got the blood test results back. He's low on somethings and high on somethings. The white blood cells are a little up and down. The part we are a bit worried about is his protein levels are low. It could possibly be a sign of kidney disease or liver disease. My poor little baby! The CPK is suppose to be between 50-400 and its in the 3,000's! The calcium was low. The phosphorus was low. I can't remember it all but we didn't get all the blood tests done b/c the blood clotted in the needle before the vet could get it in the tube. So unfortunately we have to go back and get MORE blood drawn. I hate to have to do that b/c its sooo traumatic on the bird (and me! lol.)! When they take blood from a bird that is so little like that they have to put them under anesthesia. When they do that, the bird can't regulate its own body temperature, therefore when the bird comes out of it, they shake like a leaf. Ipyana doesn't handle stress very well so that isn't a good thing. Everyone pray for him please! He's the sweetest little thing on the earth! On a positive note, Ipyana has finally started being willing to go to bed at night. I found out what the problem was. Whenever he’s screaming or something, I cover him (apartments don’t work well with birds). And at night, I would cover them also. He obviously thought he was in trouble so he'd whistle, eat, and run around crazily. lol. We have now solved that problem. Ipyana also insists on shaking hands with you before he steps up on your finger. lol. He's a silly little booger. lol
