Banana is the sweetest little friend ever. He was diagnosed with a kidney tumor.
There must be somthing I can do for him besides antibiotics. He loves fresh fruit & veggies. Broccoli & Spinach are his favorite!
I have to tell my granddaughter this afternoon. She loves this little guy so much.
Any suggestion will help.
I'm so very sorry to hear Banana has been diagnosed with a kidney tumor.
You can try modifying his diet which may help:
Balance nutrition: Low Fat, Low Seed, Focus Vegetables Greens and SPROUTED Seeds with occasional fruit as a treat
Use an Iodine supplement to stimulate the thyroid gland and metabolism of fatty tissues.
Stimulate exercise twice daily to help with weight and fat reduction.
You can also use the herb "Knotgrass" which is a plant related to buckwheat and dock.
This plant is also called prostrate knotweed, birdweed, pigweed and lowgrass. Latin name: Polygonum Avicular
I have read anecdotal accounts of this herb helping to reduce or eliminate tumors in budgies.
Peg, Banana is a darling and I'm so sorry to hear he's got a tumor! I sincerely hope some of the remedies Deborah has posted will be effective to reduce or eliminate the tumor.
Keep us posted and I'm keeping him in my prayers! ray:
Than you for your positive thoughts and prayers.
Banana seems to be the same. He is eating and making some normal bird sounds.
I bought a bathtub mat, cut to fit his cage bottom. He's able to walk on it better than anything I've tried.
He also can stand and eats better. I made sure the mat doesn't have a smell.
Thanks everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts!
Banana seems to be doing really good today. He's still not talking. He's making happy bird chatter. I'm waiting for him to talk again. When someone walks in room he always says hello, baby bird or one of many words he mimics and at night he always says nite nite.
We're all excited that he's doing as well as he is!!!!
This morning Banana is grooming , chirping and chattering!!! He looks so much better!
I just order a 1/2 pound of knotgrass.
I will always keep this on hand! We saw a big improvement in Banana's health after I added knotgrass to his diet!!! I feel that knotgrass is a big part of his recovery!!!
Thanks, FaeryBee for your help!
A week ago I didn't think Banana would make it. Today after being on antibiotic, knotgrass and a little vinegar with the mother in his water he looks great! He has feeling back in his right foot!!! He started improving after adding the knotgrass to his diet!!!
I also started a First Aid journal for him. This is something I should have already made.
How wonderful Banana is responding so positively to his treatments. I am truly happy to hear this Peggy. Banana you keep up the great work little man.:clap::2thumbs:
I'm very happy banana is doing so much better.the gnot grass is a wonderful natural healing medicine.thanks so much for all the updates.he's a wonderful,sweet,beautiful budgie.blessings.banana may the love of God always shine on you.
Two weeks ago I had never heard of knotgrass. And now I'm a strong believer in it!!!
For the first time in weeks Banana played with his bell today! I look at him now and can't believe he is doing this well!!!
He is indeed.when a miracle or great news happens it truly lifts up my heart with joy and songs of happiness.I've heard so much on the wonders of gnotgrass for its healing abilities.I'm so glad banana is doing much better.blessings always and thanks so much on all the updates.
Banana is really showing progress today playing with his bell. Doing some of his mimic sounds. I love his little mimic cough. When someone coughs he coughs.
I clean his cage first thing in the mornings, fresh water, seeds, and veggies.
Today I gave him a little squash and he fussed until I added broccoli.
