The tests are not 100% reliable. I can have her treated, but that's also not 100% reliable. I have a feeling she is a carrier. Now that she's alone, and so, stressed, she is showing some symptoms in her poop. But, I also feed her very colorful food (fruit filled), so ???
In other words, I would have to have her alone whether or not she's tested or treated. I'm not happy about that, nor the fact that the dogs could catch it, although it's not likely.
I've had her since March. She's the only bird that is still living. I already lost 3 babies.
The good news is that my friend is going to take her. I've lived in this building for years and her husband was the superintendent, and a great guy. When he died suddenly, the landlord promised him that Cqrmen would always have an apartment, and he has kept his word. Carmen comes to me whenever she needs help with dealing with anyone on the phone like a utility company, housing, etc. I also fill out all of her forms etc. I'll also lend her as few dollars from time to time until she gets to give it back, sometimes $1.00 at a time.
I know all of her children and their stories, and we have a history together.
She has taken personal responsibility for getting all of my packages for me.
I wanted to give her something special before I moved, and I think Skye would be a perfect gift. She lives alone, her kids live far away, and she recently lost her cat who got fed even if she didn't have money.
I think it's going to be a good thing for both of them.
