Been a while since I have been here
In the last 30 years of dealing with wild Eastern Greys I have had about 8 over the years with a condition I call tilting and I now have another one.
It always starts the exact same way, first you notice when they approach you they Can't look straight up at you, they have to tilt their head and look at you out of the corner of their eye, within a day or two you start noticing that when sitting and eating a nut they won't sit like a normal squirrel but more stretched upward like a meercat, whenever they try and sit normally they will keep falling to one side and try to constantly catch their balance, every now and then they will just give up and just down on their side and finish eating the nut, when running they slightly run at an angle like the ass end is trying pass up the front.
Several years ago I had a guy suggest that it may Raccoon Roundworm but couldn't give me any suggestion other then trying Ivermectin paste from the feed store, but he couldn't give me any dosing information so I didn't use any .
I'd appreciate any suggestions so I can help this latest one, the ones in the past lasted several months after they started showing the above symptoms but had a pretty hard go at life since they constantly miss jumps being their balance and judgement seems impaired.
Thanks
