[PlaxMacaws]

Jenn- how much clear mucus are you noticing from Lucky? Is he sneezing? Is he coughing? Are you noticing any discharge from his nares? It may be a sinus infection. Are you noticing the mucus as extra thick saliva strings that drip back into his water bowl? And does a mucus bubble tend to form in the back of his throat? Please describe what's going on for us.

FWIW, Zaf can be a mucus factory at times. Are there any other symptoms? How is Lucky's energy? Does he seem unhappy? Is his appetite okay? How are his feathers? Is there anything else about him or his behaviors that has changed or that you feel may be an indication of illness?

No every thing els seems normal he does the same ol hang out all day he like to be on top of chewies chage and look out the window his feathers are bright and pretty like always hes still grinding his beak and stuff his poops look normal but i have just never noticed anything in the nare before like i said too it is extra dirty so i think im going to clean and give him a couple more showers and monorter him the next couple days if it dosent sound like he needs to go in right away i may be over reacting alot is going on in my life and im mentaly all over the place so i hoping im just overreacting but idk and his weight feels the same when i pick him up ill go buy another scale as mine recently broke make sure his weight is the same and thanks its not fun freaking out about my babys ill tell ya one thing if does end up needing to go in ill find a way to get him ther and get his meds i super hope that is not the case

Since his behavior is normal, he's not experiencing any excessive discharge, his poop looks normal, his weight seems on par, and he's in good feather... I'd say that you can calm down about his health. Please be sure to dedicate enough time to him and his needs and all should be well. I know it can get rough at times... but I know you love Lucky (as well as your other pets) and are there for him (and them). Please hang in there and keep us updated. You don't have to be such a stranger around here, you know? :D

Sometimes the vet will let you pay in installments. We were hit with a whopping vet bill and they let us pay over 4 months. Hopefully Lucky doesn't need to go to the vet, but it's a thought in case he has to. As well, any chance that you have a veterinary school in the area? They will sometimes check on animals for the experience.

Not a lot of help to you and Lucky but here in the UK we have a charity called the PDSA (Peoples dispensary for sick animals). The have 48 pet hospitals around the country where people can take their animals and only pay what they can afford. Is there anything like that in the USA?

You know thats so cool the uk does this im not sure of we do here in ca i think if it came down to it id see if they could at least do a payment plan type thing with me.... Fingers crossed that i was just jumping the gunn as i tend to do that alot with all my pets lol they act diffrent one day i assume the worst lol

Jumping the gun is one way to put it, but I like the sound of, better safe than sorry. I think it's more of wanting to catch what might be something going on early rather than just thinking, ah.... there fine.
