Also update, I was speaking with my vet on the phone today, she was wanting to do xrays and cbc. I told her I'd like to hold off for maybe a month or so and see if it is a winter fast since he's only lost about 90 grams over the 3 month period and I haven't heard any wheezing or popping or anything and that I wasn't keen on the idea of force or assist feeding. I mean, I have two small parrots too (They're in a different room) and I know how dangerous it can be with an animal so small to have xrays done. Had to have xrays done on the cockatiel once because he had pneumonia, was the only way to catch it and the previous vet from Alaska warned of the dangers with an animal so small and that it was a last resort check.
