Bringing our Macaw to the Vet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- After noticing that Cheyenne had developed a weird lump on one of her wings, we promptly made a vet appointment with one of the greatest bird veterinarians in our area (Dr. Plantz at Homey Gnome Veterinary Clinic). Lucky for us, they're located a mile away from the facility! After her inspection and a quick test, we're relieved to hear it's nothing too serious.

Cheyenne pulling her lil sweater back over her exposed tummy just about killed me 😂
I’m so glad she likes her little sweater. I remember when a fan first mailed them to her.
She's so modest
All those years trying to get her to leave them on, now she's not keen to be without (mind you given how cold Winters get around there, I don't blame her wanting a toasty tummy!)
PUT THAT BACK cheyenne: put the sweater back over
I thought you spell Cheyenne like this:Shayan.😭😭
Can I just say how unique this video is?
The vet's name: Dr. Plantz
The clinic's name: Homey Gnome
The clinic: actually has gnomes
Cheyenne: wearing a sweater
I'm glad the lump isn't serious. More good health to Cheyenne next year and for many more years to come!
Cheyenne actually most of the time wears sweaters now!! Some fan made her some. To keep her naked chicken body warmish. It took her a while to get used to it and she ripped a few but it also helps to not pull out those feathers
If you describe it like this it sounds like a funny animal cartoon...
It would be even funnier if the doctor's name was Dave Plantz
Plus the clinic is located in Oakdale
I love that she has grown to love her sweater so much that she puts it on herself.
Cheyenne needs a sweater to match the turtle blanket Emily had at the end!
Cheyenne’s little squeak at the cold stethoscope was so relatable
Ikr? You can hear the "AUGH!" From the coldness
She kind of sounded like a duck lol
lOl
WHY IS IT SO COLD
“Btw this will be cold”
“AH IT’S SO COLD!?”
Cheyenne is such a sweet bird. She’s so tolerant. Not many birds would be that good with all that handling and uncomfortable moving around. Especially with a stranger in a strange place.
It just shows how much Emily and Ed work with Cheyenne and socialize her.
She’s such a sweet bird.
That's sooooooo true. Some people have birds that are super naughty or bad but Cheyenne is very sweet :)
As a vet tech at an exotic animal practice, bravo to you for how well you’ve desensitized your bird! Macaws are one of the more dangerous birds we work with (think about what a beak that can crack a walnut will do to your finger). Most of the time to do any services on them, we have to sedate them with gas, for their safety and ours. It’s always great when we have a bird that’s so well-handled and tolerant that we can do most services awake on them. Cheyenne is truly wonderful!
I’m happy to say I’ve not yet been bit by a macaw (hoping to keep it that way). I have, however, been bit by a sulfur-crested cockatoo. The bite cut almost down to the bone and caused nerve damage in my finger. It was numb for almost two months. And to think, If that bird had been Cheyenne’s size, I likely wouldn’t still have my finger!
*wince* given that I know that one of the cockatoos natively eats macadamia.... yay for your finger being attached!
wow I wasn't expecting such damage
Dream clients! We have to sedate 90% of our large birds to do anything to them. Even to just do an examination. I always push for bloodwork and x rays while we have them down to make it count a little more than just a physical 😅
Have you recovered that nerve damage?
I think people don't think about it or don't realize it's something they can do. Working with your pet beforehand to make exam type motions less scary makes things less stressful for everyone involved in vet visits! I watch a lot of zoo and shows, and I love that they train their animals to perform exam behaviors by choice. I also love Lori Torrini's channel- if she can train snakes to do things like get on a scale, I think most people can do it with their pet! I also know from the vet shows how dangerous sedation can be :
You’re very lucky to have multiple exotic vets nearby. Not everyone can find _one_ within a reasonable distance. We definitely need more exotic vets in the world.
ETA: I love that the clinic is called Homey Gnome! Lol.
Right, when I had pet rats there were no exotic vets in my area.
I convinced my dogs’ vet to see them because he had experience with rodents from back in the day before vet practice was divided up like it is now. But that vet wasn’t comfortable doing surgery or anything like that.
If my rats had needed surgery, the nearest vet was a 3-4 hour drive away.
And once we got a single exotic vet, he charged three times what vets in big cities charged because he had no competition.
I wish there were more exotic vets and that there were more that specifically specialized in reptiles or birds.
We used to have to drive an hour to see one for my friends rabbits. Thankfully there's now a newer clinic MUCH closer to where she lives. I never wanna have to make that hour long drive with an emergency sick bunny ever again!
I am planning on being an exotic vet because I want to focus on the people with more exotic animals!
no kidding
I'm fortunate that there is an exotic vet close by. They do normal vet appointments too, but they have specific vet in there just for exotics. They were our go to vet when they were right up the road, but now they're 30 minutes across town without traffic. So we recommend them to everyone, but only go for our exotics
Important moments:
3:53 exposed belly
6:27 squeak
7:42 bawck
8:30 bawck 2
8:35 bawck 3
Thank you for this cuz I was just about to do the same thing
Lol
The way she raised her wing so Emily can rake her harness off at 2:56. What a good girl!
I love how she immediately pulls the sweater back on. It's as if she knows she's naked now lol
From not loving the sweaters to complaining when someone messes with them... Cheyenne is such a sweetie with a very complex personality! Glad it wasn't anything serious, just love her!x
She's such a good girl! New place, pokes and prods, and needles, oh my. Nothing but just a couple (well deserved) squawks no bites, claws, smacks, she was a total angel.
The panic I felt reading the notification and the reading the description that she's alright.
Absolutely unequivocally worried I got. So glad she's alright and its nothing to worry over.
Oh yay, glad our favorite macaw will probably be okay.
Glad her baldness made this easy to notice!
That's actually a really good point! There's a silver lining to her plucking after all 🥰
I’m so glad she’s ok! Thank you for posting that in the description.
Definitely didn’t, I just looked in the description so I couldn’t brace myself if it was bad news. This is actually quite a funny/ sweet video!
Me too, btw I love your pfp!
@@BB-TheCandleFairy Thank you!!!
My b&g had a large feather cyst. The vet said it wasn't worth putting her under surgery since it didn't bother her. Like your vet said. My girl eventually popped it herself and she removed most of the impaction and then after talking to my vet I was able to remove the rest and it was perfectly fine. It wasn't bloody or anything and the loose skin shrunk down.
You can tell how much the vet knows about birds by the questions she asks. Always respectful too, you can tell when she asked about the plucking that she didn't come from a place of judgement and knew that it might not be due to ed and Emily
She was such a good girl at the vet, I’m surprised how calm she is when you hold her or stretch her wings out. I hope that it doesn’t cause any issues with her health :)
EDIT: wow! thanks for all the likes guys ^^
Your bird behaves better at the vet than my dog ever did
Cheyenne behaves better at the vet better then I do at the doctors
This reminds me of when I had to take my step father's dog to the vet. I was never the one who took the dogs to the vet so he was so perky going to the "post office" until we made a turn. He couldn't see outside but he knew instantly and he was very upset.
aww the little squawk of pain at 8:36 was so heart wrenching! D: so glad she's okay!!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one I felt so bad for her! I know it was for her own good but I was like AWWW POOR BIRB!!!
did anyone else hear the collective sigh of relief that Cheyenne is okay and its nothing major? yeah...so did I
I loved a) Cheyenne pulling her jumper back over her tummy, and b) her little squawk at the cold stethoscope. What a good girl she is.
Poor Cheyenne. Naked and lumpy. So glad it wasn't anything too serious. We had a basset hound that the older he got the more cysts he had. Once a year we'd have the vet put him under and get as many as they could in one go before they grew back. His nickname was Mr. Gravy because of how lumpy he got.
That’s such a perfect nickname 😄! My dog often does little barks under his breath, and that combined with the fact that he came from a shelter inspired me to refer to him as my “used subwoofer” ☺️… he’s also a tripod, and his adoption fee was slightly reduced, so I also often joke about how I got the “broken dog discount.” Poor Guy, nobody takes him seriously!
@@stellabelikiewicz1523 Aww, you can also say he cost an arm and a leg, "well, actually just one leg." 😉
@@jnewcomb HA! I’m totally going to start doing this 😁
Every time I see Cheyenne on screen I think "yes, pet the bird" Because she is such a good bird.
Cheyenne is such a doll. I’m happy about her diagnosis. I have an Amazon parrot that is 30 years old, and I get nervous when anything unusual occurs.
She is SUCH a good bird!! You have both been amazing bird custodians. Well done, birds are hard! 🦜❤️🦜
She's soo good! When my bird goes to the vet it's like the opening velociraptor scene from Jurassic Park! 🦖
Spicy Cockatiel I take it?
LOL same with my Wobbles. Luckily he's not wielding a massive crushing set of knives on his face, but more like a disgruntled clothespin.
@@WobblesandBean Disgruntled clothespin? Budgie I take it?
@@TinySwanGrandAdventures nope homicidal quaker 😅
@@RainCheck797😂
She was not happy about them opening her mouth 😂
And poor Cheyenne was screaming when the needle came
I love how Cheyanne puts up her wing for the vet
Perfect timing!!! I received
my Cheyenne sticker in the
mail two days ago!!! 🐦 I'm
so happy she's OK! ☺️✌️💚
My sympathies, Cheyenne. I get skin cysts all the time and they are annoying and unpleasant. I can't get over how well behaved and sweet she was for the vet. Anybody who looks at her can see she's well loved and living a great life. She's such a beautiful girl.
Also kudos to the Vet and that clinic. She was so wonderful and pleasant. When I saw her jacket I finally got why there were a ton of gnomes. Could you guys get the story from her of why the clinic is named that? I'm so curious.
I have a few little ones right now that keep getting inflamed and they are annoying for sure...my mom has lots of cysts and lipomas, so I knew it was coming eventually.
@@Just1Noralook up doctor pimple popper she has great information on such things 😄 and I think she's located in like California or something
I used to breed Canarys. Sometimes they would get feather lumps. I’d do just what you were doing, warm compresses as well as a few drops of vitimin E oil. It was enough to soften them up and they would work their way out.
It's amazing how much Cheyenne trusts you. Its not very often you see that level of trust very often
I’m glad to hear that the lump is not something bad.
Cheyenne is the sweetest bird she is so good with handling ❤
This was adorable. It was definitely time for a Cheyenne video.
I definitely do not live a life where I could have a bird- much less a parrot. So I really enjoyed this. She’s so sweet and has amazing caretakers.
My heart dropped for a sec… thank god she’s ok🥰
Cheyenne side-stepping away from the vet after she shined the light in her mouth was so cute 🥺
I just love how good of an example you both are for animal care❤
I remember when we brought my grandma's parrots to the vet, they were super anxious to be anywhere other than home. To combat this, we put them in a shoebox (with breathing holes) and they immediately chilled out. It was bedtime. I always found it hilarious how they instantly went from panic-mode to nap time.
Aww what a sweat baby. Birds are my passion and I’m go glad you guys got that dealt with, I’ve met with this same vet with Doug and it was great!
My caique got a blood feather a few weeks ago and sadly it was too thick to me get dealt with but luckily he’s alright now and we’re trying to take him our more and lower stress levels. To give context me and my family is moving so he’s in a very small cage and whilst I’m at school he isn’t getting out enough so luckily we’re fixing that. hoping that will help with the blood feather situations!
Aww, poor Cheyenne, i hope she gets better:)
Dr. Plants seems very friendly:D
So happy to see more Cheyenne content, and of course to see she’s just a little lumpy
I have a macaw of my own, but he's nowhere near as old as Cheyenne and I haven't had him for nearly as long as you've had her- only about two and a half years now. Her temperament is incredible and she's such a sweetheart! I'm so glad she has a comfortable, loving and safe home. I hope she lives a lifetime full of happiness and never wants for anything.
She was so mad 😂 I bet she threw a fit when you guys got home. I’m glad she’s okay! My dog had a pimple on his head and freaked out at first but nope just a pimple haha
Cheyenne’s persistent little shuffle from the vet when Emily lets her go is adorable. She’s like “Mom I don’t like this strange lady save me”
I dream of the day I’ll find a Vet clinic to work at that does in-house diagnostics
Much love to this clinic and DVM 💛
silly bird, she is wonderfully behaved tho, im used to birds freaking out at the vet, but with her going places with you, im not surprised how calm she is
6:28
*What a Good Bird!”
Cheyenne: AWK
Such a sweet lady! My husband and I are hoping to adopt a parrot one day soon and seeing Cheyenne makes me excited for that day to come.
her little massage at the end was so cute i loved it
Ohhh good gosh thank goodness she's okay. I just had a bird that passed away and it was because they didn't have proper care and I'm so glad you do
Cheyenne is so cute!!! I used to have a parrot but she was a different kind.
She was such a well behaved macaw 🥺💙🥰
Wishing Cheyenne a quick recovery! Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas as well!
It’s so cute how Emily has so many snakes to watch over and other animals but still takes care of her bird🫶
Im so happy shes alright i wish her luck and you to❤️
I'm so glad Cheyenne is ok! She's such a calm and well behaved bird!
Cheyenne is such a brave girl! Glad she is doing ok!
Cheyenne was so brave - what a good macaw ❤❤❤
I’m glad she’s okay. Thank you for sharing.
She's such a pretty girl. Happy Holidays, and safe travels if you guys are traveling😊 peace and love from Indiana
This was a great video thank you, I'm glad your baby is ok. This was amazingly timed as I've been having some medical issues with my little puppy, recently and have been very worried and vetting him too. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, for both.
Very tolerant and sweet bird, love seeing her
I love her so much,wish you and her luck ❤
I just had my two kitties to the vet yesterday. Besides winter weight, all good!
Cheyenne was so cute covering her belly when Ed moved her sweater. She's also so gentle with her beak. You guys have done so good with her.
as someone who has raised these lovely beast of a bird. she is being SO FREAKING CALM. i had one that would take a finger off if you tried moving her like that.
10:42 this reminds me so much of our cat Venus. When she was a kitten we got her spayed (as per usual). She apparently had kept messing with her stitches and she got an infection in the surgery area.
We took her back to the vet and they cleaned it up and they put in staples as well as stitches.
Their recommendation was to put her in a onesie or a sweater (something to guard the site) since she did not tolerate a cone.
They also told us to use a warm compress every day.
She had the exact same look as Cheyenne does.
I love Cheyenne videos and im so glad she's doing ok!
One of the most well-behaved and tolerant macaws I've ever seen!! What a great critter with equally-great human parents
i saw this and was so worried!! Im glad she is going to be okay, love you guys and cheyanne
omg im so glad shes ok!
This is a well handled bird. Love to see this.
so glad it's nothing serious!!! Hoping for quick recovery for Cheyenne
She is such a sweetheart
I am happy you have a knowlegable vet for both birds and reptiles. I had aheck of a time when i bought a garter/ribbon snake who 2 days later gave birth to 24 babies and i didnt know who to see. Love you videos.
What a sweet girl--she really loves you guys!
I am glad you are so close to a bird vet!
Poor baby Cheyenne, I'm sorry you had to take her to the vets. I know it's just one of those things you've gotta do when you have pets but it's never nice. I'm glad all is well and I hope you and ed are also well and she didn't scare you to much. Lots of love and take care x
Wonderful video. Great to be able to see Cheyenne!
i have a genuine fear of birds and just looking at photos of birds starts to freak me out but these videos make it a little less scary learning about birds. my best friend has a bird and i feel bad when she cant let him out when im there and these videos are my beginning to exposure therapy.
My grandmas African grey passed recently and his was such a big staple of my childhood even though he wasn't a very friendly bird. I love seeing how chill and tolerant Cheyenne is. My green cheek is going through his hormonal phase
Her little chicken screams broke my heart. Glad it isn't serious
Love that the clinic had a bunch of gnomes like the faclinaty!
sending virtual hugs to Cheyenne send complete.
I was a bit worried when I saw the title. I'm so glad your sweet girl is ok!!
I hope to meet you, Cheyenne and Ed soon!!!
What a precious baby! She's so tolerant and looks so good in her little sweater. Birds are so much work, but they're amazing animals!
Aww what a good girl! So glad to hear it’s nothing serious,was worried for a sec!! I have a kitty that gets cysts once in a while and I just put a warm wet(not soaked obv.) washcloth over it for a few minutes and then extract the grossness and they go away…she’s just tries to be too clean and her skin reacts to the constant licking causing them!
Cheyenne is the most behaved bird I’ve ever seen 😭 most birds especially other Macaws and parakeets/budgies/lovebirds/ always want to murder us. Cheyenne needs to chat with the other birds and tell them it’s all gonna be okay.
Im still so glad they found a vest type that she finds comfy ^-^
Aww I hope she is okay! 😢 get well
I'm happy she's ok and safe
So happy Cheyenne is going to be fine she's such a sweet girl 💖
😢 feel better soon, we love you Chyanne! ❤
Good job Cheyenne you did so good at the vet
i find it funny and adorable that dr. plant is an animal doctor.
Sympathies Cheyanne! I get cysts too. The warm compresses do help! Glad it’s not infected cuz that’s never fun!
Nooooo it will never go away every time I see Cheyenne I will look at that lump and won't be ok
Poor thing! I’m glad she’s alright 😊
