Pneumonia
My beloved shingle Solomon has 'mild' pneumonia, according to the vet. How did he get it? He may not have brumated properly. He did wake up in the middle of winter and came out for a look. He may have got cold; he may not have digested some food properly - they do need heat for this. He may have got stressed because of having 3 lizards in the viv, not just the other shingle. He has beed given a vitamin injection & antibiotics. He's not eating much but wanted to get out so the vet is hopeful. Hopefully I will bring him home tomorrow.

Re: Pneumonia
Sorry to see Solomon has been so unwell Laurie. I know from experience with parrots that the most likely cause of R.I.'s is being caught in a draft. Hope he is soon on the mend.
