Hiya all, not been on in a whilst - hope you’re all well.
You might remember Mackenzie having had Chlamydia, and subsequent skin infections from overpreening. Well, despite frequent attendance at the vet for skin issues, several trials of medication for anxiety/behaviour, several types of collar to limit his access, he has now started pulling them out!
He’s had the all clear for Chlamydia, and his bloods were mostly normal (white count a bit low, same as a year ago).
He looks really scruffy due to his excessive chewing on his feathers, but the last couple of weeks he’s been pulling out his new feathers coming in.
I can’t find any stimulus, and he mostly does it when I’m home with him.
Just wanted a wee rant as it’s breaking my heart he’s now plucking. :emoji_disappointed:
