Thumbs up progress:

Here is a progress report on "Poink"... this is a nickname someone at the garden forum gave him... piggy + oink-- based on his eating habits in the nest (he'd eat until he fell over). Some others call him Buddy.


.


And pictures here:

.

page 14.

He now has real feathers, but his beak is deformed. But the mass is shrinking,
going away out of his nostril/sinuses, and roof of the mouth. He is eating better too, and toxin screens have been normal. His pain meds were increased and that helps him eat. (it is the same pain medication given to one of our cats after a surgery and is a narcotic)

So his prognosis is much better.
