Sorry for the frequent updates on Wuzo....

Our avian vet called a few minutes ago. The xrays showed a mass, but it does not look like an egg, as it does not have the hard shell of an egg...it looks more like tissue material. They said it could be one of two things. It could be a soft egg, in which the shell never formed, and it's very hard to pass an egg with no shell as there's nothing to push on. Or it could be a tumour.

They will be taking another xray shortly. They just gave her some liquid stuff that once it goes through her system, will highlight her organs, and show exactly what is inside of her. Our vet said she doesn't know exactly what it could be, but there is a high possibility of a tumour.

I will try and update as I hear more.

You and Wuzo are in my thoughts. I remember how distraught I was when Fiona was hospitalized and this community really helped me through it. I know Wuzo probably misses you, but hopefully the vets will diagnose her soon and then you can start concentrating on the steps to take to make her better.

Are you allowed to visit her?

I imagine I am able to visit her...but I think it will just stress her out even more. THey've got her in a "sick" bird cage, which is a cage with no perches. They said she's walking around at the bottom, eating millet and pooping normally.

I really hope it isn`t cancer, but... if it was a `soft egg,` would she be able to poop normally?
I hope she pulls through!
