First off, a massive thank you to our incredible flock family. Thanks to your kindness, we have raised $565 so far toward Knuckles’ upcoming diagnostics!
Every dollar relieves a huge weight, letting us focus on his hands-on care instead of financial stress.
Here is where things stand today:
Fewer Spasms: Since starting his new medication yesterday, his episodes have dropped significantly—from every couple of minutes down to 1–2 every half hour.
More Himself: While the spasms are still concerning, the extra rest between them allows his true personality to shine through. He’s determined to crawl all over me, convinced he has far more body control than he actually does right now!
No New Mutilation: We have not seen any further self-injury or fresh sores since yesterday.
Extra Needy: He is seeking constant physical contact to feel safe, needing to touch me at all times to rest comfortably—and I am more than happy to oblige.
We are in continuous contact with Dr. Rosen Shiloh Veterinary Hospital , who will be coming to the sanctuary in a few days to run essential tests and exotic diagnostics. Because specialized avian/exotic testing carries higher costs than standard vet visits, we still need your support to cover his complete workup.
Our goal remains getting to the bottom of these episodes so we can get our fighter back on track. He has to be OK, and with your help, we will get through this together.
