Sick, blech!

It hit yesterday. Tony wasn't feeling so well. He was tired all the time and grouchy, and he was stressed about an exam coming up on Monday. Well, I got the neocitran, the buckleys cold pills, and the puffs plus tissues with vicks in them (gotta have the good stuff when you are sick).

He laid on the couch, or slept in bed and only came out to whine about how he was sick. I made homemade turkey noodle soup and I think that helped a bit.

Well, today I'm sick. I woke up to feed the small child at 2 am in the blessed morning, and realized that I could barely swallow. My throat was so sore and glands were all swollen. After she ate and went to sleep, she allowed me to sleep until 7.

Baby is fine so far. Shes happy, she had a fit last night cause her mouth hurt. She has a top tooth that has just appeared. She was clingy and cried at the drop of a hat. Poor gal. Needless to say, she had some tylenol and went to bed early.

My plan for today is to be useless on the couch, drink soup and green tea, and then later watch the Oscars. Maybe make more turkey noodle soup if I feel like it.

sick bird :(

The bird is sick :( He's been very quiet all morning which is his usual time to be super happy and energetic. Hes not flying around a lot and sits in the cage by the cuttle bone. Tony noticed him straining and fluffing up but not pooping. He did a small poop but had to shake his tail to get it going. poor thing.

So unusual for the bird who is a little poop machine. I am gonna watch him today and if things don't get better I might be taking him to the Night Owl Bird Hospital. For a tiny budgie it seems a little much, but Tony would be crushed if this bird died. I was looking up things about constipated budgies and all I could find is to feed them veggies (which our bird wont touch) or put a tiny amount of apple cider vinegar in his water. I am a little too nervous about doing that as I don't want to be the one to kill the bird.

Oh bird, why couldn't you get sick after payday. We are both worried about him. Budgies hide their sickness as a natural instinct so that they dont seem weak in their flock. Well once they show signs of sickness they are usually very sick. We both know this.
