Thank you, @Sauropod8 How is Pico doing?Sending love to you and Ollie
Ollie is now only 307gms. But after 2 days of eating very little, he was hungry today and has been eating well: cooked mash, Harrisons Recovery Formula and baby's porridge, all with Celebrex and Gabapentin added. So fingers crossed the scales go up tomorrow.

Fingers crossed Ollie keeps his strength up!❤
Pico is doing well at the moment, he was back up to his "healthy" weight of 82g this morning. He is still eager to have his safflower seeds as his preferred treat and we havent seen them undigested in his poop again yet. I would say he is stable? We give him his 0.02ml of Celebrex and his probiotic each day.

Thank you for asking. Ollie was losing weight at an alarming rate. On Wednesday he reached only 301gms. Wednesday, the vet also came to see him. The vet isn't avian but it was an excellent visit. We discussed the pros and cons of different meds and euthanasia. Thankfully the euthanasia can be done at home if it becomes necessary in the future. He suggested adding oil to Ollie's feeds to increase the calories and also suggested trying CBD oil which can be helpful to autoimmune diseases. So from that afternoon, I have been adding 2 drops of Flax oil to each of Ollie's feeds and giving him one drop of CBD oil a day. It has been working so well that Ollie's weight is now rising as fast as it had been falling. Today he was up to 318gms!!!
I am making what I call a "Super Porridge." To his Organix baby porridge I am mixing in Emeraid, Harrison's Recovery Formula, and 2 drops of Flax oil (anti-inflammatory Omega 3). Ollie has numerous feeds thoughout the day and to each of them I am adding one or two of the following: Celebrex (anti-inflammatory), Gabapentin (nerve pain), CBD oil, Milk Thistle (liver), DMG (immune system), Vits & Mins, MGN-3 (immune system), St John's Wort (antiviral) and Echinacea (antiviral). Trying to add probiotics, but strangely he leaves half if I add them. Prozyme (digestive enzyme) turns the Super Porridge slimy so I am going to try sprinkling a little on top. Just ordered some Astragalus (immune system and gut flora) powder which I shall also be adding.
Ollie isn't eating any "normal" food at all now. Only the Super Porridge every hour or so.
