I have a African Grey here names Louie , he is only 2 yrs old,anyway he has  kidney issues, he drinks 2 full bowls of water a day,he has been on meds,I have also done a Aloe detox on him,He has had a couple seizures a few weeks ago, well today he is having seizure after seizure,I have spent the better part of the day holding him.
nothing showed in his blood work to cause seizures ,The vet suggested increasing calcium ,so I just ordered him calci boost. and started him back on aloe detox and meds.
I plan to take him home tonight,This is draining me big time, all I can do when he is having a seizure is hold him in a towel and cry,How many seizures can he have before he gives up :'(

I'm so sorry to hear of his seizures. I know it must be very tough on you, try and hang in there best you can. I'll be thinking of the both of you. I noticed you mentioned there was nothing in the bloodwork to show a cause for seizures. It may be that there is a brain tumor that is causing the seizures. Often times the tumor causes pressure in the brain which in turn can cause seizures. Another cause could be epilepsy, though I've never seen a case in a parrot I wouldn't doubt that it's possible. If the vet has an emergency line you could call and ask about anti-seizure meds tonight or call in the morning. I am unsure if they can work on parrots, but it worth a try and it would make him comfortable. I hope this is not the case, but they are other possibilities. I do hope he comes out of this, if anyone can pull him through you can. He knows you are there helping him the best you can.
