The hysterectomy I would like to have performed, because I don't want this happening again. She is an old bird and I'm worried she will have more complications without one.

Also a hysterectomy was being thought about because the egg had been in the uterus for over 48 hours, and after this time they start to bind to the uterus and the uterus may have to be taken out with it. This morning due to her prolapse, a hysterectomy was high on the cards as a prolapsed uterus can dies off and become unvascularised. This can't be returned to the body as it will die and cause infection.

Luckily for her hers was not too affected by the prolapse

how is Saffy doing through all this? Have you decide to go forth?

Oh wow... what a journey she has gone through! I'm glad it sounds like they're taking care of her well and taht she's continuing to be her stubborn 'I'm gonna get through this' self! The poor girl!

I'm glad she's on the mend... when will they do they hysto?

l'm glad she made it thru the surgery, and now is mending.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Saffy!!

How is Saffy doing today Sailorwolf?? I hope she is recovering! Her cage buddy sounds like a sweety

Well I picked her up today. She is doing well. I have to give her 3 shots of antibiotics into her pectoral muscle one a day for 3 days.

She is doing well and I have taken her home and put her in her little cage with a lamp on and some blankets on top and Emmett to keep her company and put her morale up. Emmett was such a little poo today . I had to try and catch him to put him in with Saffy and because he is untame he made it as difficult as possible. Finally I caught him He was very upset and as soon as I put him into the little cage with Saffy his head just poofed right up and he started singing, don't mind the fact that a second ago I was manhandling him into the cage. But as soon as he saw Saffy he was like woooohooooo. And I saw the change in her too, she immediately climbed down to him and they both beak bopped each other. Emmett was so gentle too, he sang quietly and softly and only bopped her gently. He didn't move from her side for a good twenty minutes. I think he was just happy to see her again. She was happy too, both of their iris rings contracting and dilating.

About the hysterectomy, I think I will consider having that done a few weeks down the track and probably when I have money too.

 

Where Saffy was staying was the wildlife ward. It was really interesting. While I was in there with her, some of the nurses brought a harrier in, wrapped in a towel and were feeding it. It was soooo cute, I felt so lucky. And in an incubator on the other side of the room was a penguin looking rather disgruntled at having being locked inside this warm, but small environment.

here is to Saffy and a quick recovery and it is wonderful that she is responding to Emmett and this gives her comfort too. Hugs.

I'm sure Saffy will make a speedy recovery now, with her boyfriend by her side.

Awwwww... what a sweet boy! Taking care of his girl so well. Saffy will continue to do well, I'm sure!
