Ray's Update

4/9/2010

0 Comments

 
I don't have much to share about Ray's blood panel results. They were inconclusive, everything was normal and showed no signs of a problem. He went back this week for X-rays which were also inconclusive. There doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with his body or organs. He's going back next week for another large blood draw which will be tested for some serious viruses that can cause seizures. This is the last thing we can test for and is very unlikely since he was an only bird in a private home for years before he came to Animal Wonders. If these tests come back negative we can only guess that he either has some kind of trauma that causes increasing seizures (unlikely) or he was born epileptic. I'll give another update next week when we get the results. If he is epileptic that would help us in his care and training. We would know that he is not terrified of hands, his "quakes" are not under his control. This will help us analyze how much interaction he likes, he may even be able to go to shows to teach kids about Rainbow Lorikeets and animals that need special care.
