732.0. "Yeast Infection" by 5525::KIRSCHBAUM (Every Tank Should Have It's Moray) Wed Sep 09 1992 13:06

	There seems to be a run of yeast infections...at least
	I know of 3 birds that have them.

	The remedy is not too bad, diagnosing was a b*&%$!

	Anyway the guess is that Av got it from either water or
	food that was left in his bowl too long.  I suspect that this
	will be less of a problem now that the weather is cooling off.

	Symptoms were loss of feathers on the legs, general
	listlessness, loss of strength...

	However, after 2 weeks of pumping 3cc's of medicine
	down his throat 3 times a day, he is almost back to his
	obnoxious self again....

	Many thanks to Pat Walz for her "long distance" diagnoses
	and suggestions...she missed a wonderful calling when she
	decided to become a computer jock instead of a Vet!
