My vet has given me rescue remedy to help with my CAG's plucking. I had
blood tests done but the results will not be back until next week.
He said that I should use 1 drop for 1 oz of drinking water and if that
didn't work, 1 drop on his tongue. I was wondering if anyone has used this
with success. I tried google but nothing pertinent came up.
Thanks,
Chris

We use it for wild birds when they come in if they are overly stressed.
Seems to work.

You'll get a range of responses on this, ranging from "it worked wonders"
to "it can't hurt" to "homeopathy is quackery." I have to say that I'm in
the last category, but that you'll likely get more positive responses than
negative here. I'm surprised nothing useful came up in Google, try terms
like "Back flower remedies" in your Google searches, or take a look at
<http://www.vetlab.co.uk/voodoo/theory.html>, or <http://www.homeowatch.org>..
I'd also suggest that you ask your *vet* about why he is prescribing this
medication, what effects he thinks it will have on your Grey, why he thinks
your Grey is plucking and how this solution will combat it. All too often
the answers are anecdotal, or that he's not sure what's going on (which
isn't a bad thing or sign of incompetence as plucking is complicated) and
feels that this won't hurt, might help, and will make the owner feel that
he (the owner) is taking proactive steps to help his bird.

Argh. I had to read that over several times to see what you were talking
about. Maybe it's time for glasses.

That would be "Bach" flower remedies. Spelling counts! ;)

I know, I know. Look, it's a terrible thing to have my monitor so blurry in
spots that I can't tell the difference between an h and k at quick glance.
If anyone has a 20" Apple Cinema display that needs a good home, I'll be
more than happy to adopt it. The extra-sharp text would really improve my
proofreading, so you'd be doing me a great service.

Funny you think it is quackery, I use to as well. But..... There is a
wildlife rehabilitation center here in BC, located on Salt Spring Island
who uses mostly, if not all homeopathics. They rehabilitate injured and
abandoned seal pups and are very, VERY successful. We also use numerous
medicines for injured wildlife and I have gained great faith in these
salts and tonics! I treat my feather picking parrotlet with chamomile
tea and rescue remedy and he now has his feathers back. He came to me
almost bald. Don't knock it until you try it.
