one day i'll fly away leave it all to yesterday one day the things of the past will be gone we will stop hurting and move on come that day all will be washed away in the rain only true love will remain all we need is love~ well. life is but a sloppy mess. I got streamed exactly the way i didn't want to be! oh well... i have been lazing around the house since i came back from nz. i would love to study there.. all the fairy tales about quaint cottages and the countryside come true in new zealand. ok then, yesterday i brought joy to the vet to have her beak trimmed as it is overgrown and she cant eat her seeds. a check revealed that she had caught a virus which gave her diarrhoea, then her vulnerability gave her a chest infection.. thank goodness these 2 illnesses are common in parrots, and thus medication was prescribed. she could not even have her beak trimmed. the chest infection is giving her a hard time breathing, and the vet said that grabbing her and messing around with her beak would only cause her to collaspe from exhaustion.. g0sH.. its really not easy... trying not to alarm her with an ominous looking syringe... she ends up panting like crazy. 4 types of medication; 2 powder, 2 syrups. eurgh.. they smell like.. a hospital. Thank God the medication seems to be working.. yeah joy has perked up and her appetite is improving.. it had better be... the vet bill was sky high.
