Took my Russian to the vet. Background info is I've had him 16 years. He was out with us in the yard and somehow got away from me. Long story short, he was gone for 2 months and we found him about 6 days ago. He has been unable to eat (tried but couldn't swallow) and had his beak all misshapen. Beak was trimmed and vet suspects bacterial illness and viral Herpes. I have to give him antibiotic shots every 3 days for 2 weeks. He said to "watch and wait" on the Herpes. Question I have is....should I email him and ask about antivirals? Any food I can maybe get him to eat? I feel like he's so skinny from basically hibernating for 2 months and now being sick? Help!
