A blog about my beautiful budgies.
One of the medication’s (Lactulose) I have to give orally to Bezukhov is like a syrup. Unfortunately, the combination of my lack of expertise in administering medication by syringe/dropper & Bezukhov’s propensity for wriggling, has resulted in the sticky syrup landing on his feathers & not in his beak.
Ignoring Bezukhov’s desperate desire to leave my grip, I usually try to wipe as much medication away from his cheek & chin feathers before letting him go. The medicine is very sticky though & remains on his feathers.
What he really needs is a best buddy who can preen the goo away…

It would be nice to think that Cagney was being altruistic but I kind of suspect he is developing a taste for lactulose!

If he did get a taste for it, it didn’t last long. 😀

Shame you can soak Cagney’s feathers so that Bezukhov could get some of the medication in him 😉

Bezukhov is adamant he’s not having the medicine in any shape or form. He clamps his beak shut! Not silly these fellas….!
