Cuddles My Baby Sun/Jenday Conure

In September of 2009 My baby Cuddles who was 2years old suffered a seizure..I did not witness it as it was the stages after the seizure. He was at the bottom of his cage curled up with his little legs squeezed tight. I immediately took him to my vet.

They explained all the common and uncommon reasons that he may have suffered one. Since it was the 1st one I had ever seen and I've hand raised him since he was 2wks old they told me to take him home and if he suffered more then we could discuss further treatment options. He was doing great until yesterday March 16, 2010..I awoke to a quite room with no movement and no one asking me "What are you doing", (those were his first words and this is what Cuddles says whenever anyone walks into the room)...I noticed the after symptoms of a possible seizure...Ruffled feather, Disorientated, wobbly, quite, spacie eyes...I was concerned so I made another vet appointment for the afternoon.

When I returned home from work he was still quite and still kinda out of it. I took him out of his cage and he was perching..then right before I was going to get his mobile home carrier he had a seizure in my hands...it was the scariest and saddest 5 seconds of my life. I rushed him to the vet where the vets examined him and he was looking a little better...After the 45 minute chat with the vet on possible tests and treatment he suffered another seizure in front of the vet...I was crying and scared the whole time I will never be able to get that image out of my head. The vet decided it would be best to keep him over night.. I spoke with them about 15minutes ago and he is in an incubator he seems to be eating but they would like to watch him a little longer...I am hoping that he will be ok and that I see him soon...
