Those from usmilnet who know me know that I/we have two parrots.
One of them, a Solomon Islands eclectus, has been feather-picking for 3 years now.
At the end of November, I drove from the middle of Missouri to Kankakee, IL, to visit an avian vet who -- legend has it -- does well with this kind of affliction.
Fast forward to today, more than six weeks later.
Problem is WORSE, not better, despite shelling out close to $500 for her "advice" and "holistic treatment protocol."
What a ****ing crock of shit.
I blasted her in a fax (because her office staff don't accept emails) and the bitch ****ing fired me!
Talk about running and hiding from a problem! Sheesh!
(Details at eleven.)
