I just got a call from the vet regarding Craow Dum's histology report. It appears that the bone is infected with some sort of osteopathic bacteria. No sign of pox or virus but a nasty bone eating bacteria.
It is suggested, again, that the beak has had an injury and then a bacteria set up shop, so to speak.
I will be picking up a prescription for Craow Dum which consists of a) clindamycin
(an antibiotic specifically for bone infections) and b) enrofloxacin (a broad spectrum antibiotic).
It is a two punch regiment.
He will be on it THREE times a day (every 8 hours) for a MONTH!
Boy, he is reeeeallly going to hate me now!
...plus his poop will contain dead organisms and smell correspondingly crappy. Lucky you!
