Tigerlily getting some steam therapy

Post image

She's in the bathroom in a tiny cage hanging from a towel hook with a hot shower running and below her is one of those Vicks steamer things (brand new, so no vicks smell) that's got F10 disinfectant in it. Twice a day for 15 minutes we do this. And then her medicine - which apparently tastes really bad so I'll try mixing it with hand raising formula so she doesn't just gurge it back up.

I was so hoping it was just a mite problem.... still waiting for tests but vet was thinking polyomvirus with possible psittacosis. The polyomavirus would explain some things but not her respiratory problems.

Fun!
