So Mango has to take 3 meds twice a day now. They are:

Pimobenden
Enalapril
Isoxuprine

Have you ever had to give your bird multiple meds like this? Looking for any and all advice! Thank you!

Mango let out a SCREM for the first time in days today! She has started 2 out of 3 meds (hoping the last one gets here tomorrow) and she's definitely doing better! Plus a lot of the platform perches have come in, so tomorrow I will rearrange her cage and she can finally rejoin the bird room!

Queso is happy to see Mango! ... Mango is pretty indifferent to him lol. I don't think she likes his being clingy. Stopped recording right before she yelled at him. (No one got hurt. They have never fought. They just occasionally kinda scream at each other and that's it.)

This response on Tumblr brings up a good point that I hadn't fully thought about. Idk if I'm qualified to broach the potential topic of ableism... but yeah. I don't think disability should be an automatic death sentence for animals either. It would be different if I was told she was suffering, but I

A Mango Update and a couple things I'd like to address:

Mango is improving every day! In this video she has regained a lot of her coordination.

I was honestly worried she wouldn't improve at all until meds get here, but that's not the case. I feel like I'm having a difficult time

I've also set up a Bonfire campaign with art of Mango by @sadfaceart.bsky.social

There's shirts, hoodies, and tank tops with Mango on them! The sales of these will also go towards Mango's vet bills and meds.

Sorry if this account turns into The Mango Show for a while. Naturally she's been getting a lot of my attention.

Mango's been getting a bit better! After she ate the almond in this video + had some apple juice (two of her favorite things) she perked up a lot and made some normal vocalizations for

So as we drive back to pick up Mango from an avian specialist vet 3 hours away, we have an update. What's been wrong with Mango is this:

They found that she has a heart murmur and almost certainly has heart disease. It is genetic. It is treatable, but not curable. She will need to be on 3

Unfortunately, Mango has declined further. She went to the vet again, but they still don't know what's wrong. She is still pretty young for a conure, being 15, and I want to try to save her. Please, if you're able to help out at all, my PayPal is [email protected] and my venmo is amandabl89

Here's Charlie trying to intimidate me away from Ray, his most favorite person ever in the whole wide world, but unfortunately, he is cute.

Hurley is hard at work. Paper towel destruction isn't easy, but someone's gotta do it.

X-rays normal, bloodwork normal, all the things normal. Which is good, but also WHAT is up with her leg then??? 😭 vet says just keep an eye on it. But if the episodes of not using her leg continue, she may need more tests.

Prince Pierogi has a rather glorious crown of crest feathers. Also I have no idea why the cockatiels are fascinated with the trash can.

Mango baby sitting under a heated blanket and watching Critical Role with me. Hoping the heat helps her leg a bit.

Hoo boy today was a day. Mango went to the vet! She was doing weird things with one of her legs... again. And again they did an x-ray and found nothing 😭 still waiting on the radiologist is make further comments + bloodwork and stuff. Vet said it's probably some soft tissue damage.

Today Charlie realized the cage in the other room contains living beings that are not birds. Alarm commenced.
