    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.

    If you haven't noticed much extra mucus, I wouldn't be overly concerned about that at the moment. 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?

    Nothing really sounds like a red flag to me, Jenn. 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?
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!
