Joey Kunnani, Moluccan Cockatoo

Intensive Care Patient being treated at Night Owl Bird Hospital

December 4th, 2017 is when it began with Joey K coming into our care after being surrendered to a Sandy Erwin and Gloria Fantin.

Funds are urgently needed to help cover veterinary treatment costs to save a once vibrant Moluccan cockatoo now fighting for his life in hospital, after at least two years of neglectful care.

Joey K, after recently being surrender for the second time, is suffering from multiple health issues under intensive care at Night Owl Bird Hospital in Vancouver, BC, Canada. 

Joey K was a typical cockatoo spoiled at a young age. When he began screaming for attention and family circumstances changed, he was surrendered to the now-closed World Parrot Refuge (WPR) in 2015.

At WPR Joey K began to self-mutilate and suffered a trauma resulting in the loss of vision in the left eye. When the WPR shut in 2016, Joey K was reunited with the original family. In December 2017 Joey K was again surrendered, in very ill health. It was obvious he needed immediate medical care. Without hesitation Dr. Anne McDonald, Night Owl Bird Hospital, stepped forward to help Joey K with his medical needs. 

Joey K was transferred from Calgary, AB where he was surrendered to a caring individual and admitted to Night Owl Bird Hospital, Vancouver, BC on Monday, December 4th.

Immediately placed in an incubator for intensive care treatment, he is receiving fluids and antibiotics. Initial lab results indicate a high white blood count and an elevated uric acid value — two concerns which may reflect dehydration or some decrease of kidney function or both. Additional treatment includes removal of significant malodorous debris in nostrils (they have been cleaned several times); and therapeutic laser therapy to help heal chest skin lesion

Joey K needs help with his medical care costs. This is his special fundraising page to keep you informed on his journey to health.

Thank you for your financial help, every dollar counts and goes to his medical care costs, prayers and healing energy also appreciated.

100% of your donation will go his medical care costs as we owe that money to Night Owl Bird Hospital, where he received his medical care.

Thank you for caring.
