As some of you might be aware, our pet bird has been having seizures and she was looking like she was on death's door. She wasn't eating. We were having to give her pain medication (and other medications too).
This morning she got a CAT scan (amazing how much cheaper it apparently is to have it done for a pet bird as opposed to an actual child, although I have yet to see the bill).
The results are in. They can't find anything life threatening. There are no tumors. Her heart, arteries, and lungs look like they are in great shape. About all they could find of interest was an enlarged esophagus and they are consulting with other vets to see if that might have anything to do with her problems. Overall though, we're all feeling pretty good today. The vets were pleased with the results. The worst fears have been ruled out for the most part.
The bird is home and eating eating well. She also seems perky (which is pretty impressive since she was actually knocked out earlier today in order to run the tests). Hurray!
It hit 106 degrees at our house today. I'm sitting in a handbasket as there is genuine concern that our economy has reached its final destination. I'm also testing the "snowball's chance in..." theory.
Sorry to hear about your pet. If you can wait, I am sure it will be covered in the Universal health care plan!

"Look, this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But, let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly-clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them." - Burke
"They grab the colonists, they move them over there and they immobilize them to be hosts for more of these. Which would mean that there would have to be a lot of these parasites, right? One for each colonist. That's over a hundred at least." - Ripley
