RE: /Parrots/Deb pets

[Guest guest]

… first off I don’t want to hear this

anymore: if I should not make

it. I know, you’re being practical and doing some planning

ahead.. but I don’t want to hear about it, lol! I’m mostly kidding

you, and I know it will all work out.

If you need a good home for one or all of your birds I would

happily take them. Goldie would fit right in with my U2 as a perfect bird..

Charmin is one of my angels and the only one I can hand off to someone knowing

she will not bite. Most of the others wouldn’t either, but no guarantees.

Also makes sense to me about why you’re not asking Mayo more details

about pets… I don’t mention my birds anymore either, lol.

You do have to take care of you first. Many people just

don’t understand what an close part of You your pets are. And as a pet

lover we know you are a great person, lol.

In the long run, six months isn’t all that bad to

quarantine yourself from them although it will seem longer. They’ll miss

you but will be ecstatic to see you again. And luckily parrots don’t usually

carry disease, so if you can clear them of possibly having parrot fever it

would really help. You’re lucky you live in an area where they can be

outdoors. I have temp cages outside for mine in the summer, but they come in at

night. I had the heat running this morning, can never count on the

weather… strange for August though.

So I’ll be counting on your good luck and knowing

you’ll not need to rehome your birds!

I have not asked Mayo about interacting with

them while on Tx. I am

afraid of the answer and then it will be a part of my record. They

did say NO pets for at least 6 months after transplant. The reason is

I will have no immune system so every precaution must be taken. This

I will follow to the letter! Ack to go through all that and have my

sparkling new liver reject would be a crime on my part. I will not

come home from ville for at least 6 months. So my husband and

family will care for the critters here in Vero Beach until I get

home. We will see what Mayo says then. Whatever it is I will do it.

When I started sobbing uncontrollably when they told me to get rid of

them, in the infectious disease Dotors office, she said if I housed

them outside that would be fine Geez you like Macaws eh I'll

keep that in mind if I should not make it I will need to find a good

home for my Blue and Gold Macaw Goldie. She is my heart bird and just

about the bet parrot anyone could want. No screaming for no reason,

well trained and never ever bites me or strangers. She is a love

muffin! My last request to my husband is to drive my parrots to their

new home no matter where they live.

Deb what about you? any pets and how did you deal with it while on Tx

and after transplant?
