ROCCO CICIRELLO from STATEN ISLAND NEW YORK asks: Thanks again Dr. Rob for the quick response. You may think I'm a pain, but here's another question. This morning just a little sticky saliva came from his mouth. Being I can't see the vet till Monday, I was observing the bird all day, and no saliva was coming out, just in the morning. He's molting, but he was very active, and eating well. If he has Thrush won't the saliva continue all day, and he'll be lethargic. You also mentioned it could be an irritant from the high sugar content in the Kaytee fruit blend pellets, or the canthaxithin in his drinking water. What do you think? Thank you again
