Jayne, I need you to be more clear and more specific with me - in order for me to understand what you are talking about. Please do so in a PM.

i think i was being clear enough myself without needing to further clarify it for you

Ok Jayne, if that is your choice to not talk with me in a PM, so be it - I tried.

Darnit Jayne!

no problem with talking to you joe just saying my thoughts dont need clarifying as i think i was very clear in my post...

From the Alex Foundation site:

October 4, 2007

The Pathology results:

Alex died quickly. He had a sudden, unexpected catastrophic event associated with arterosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"). It was either a fatal arrhythmia, heart attack or stroke, which caused him to die suddenly with no suffering. There was no way to predict his demise. All of his tests, including his cholesterol level and asper levels, came back normal earlier that week. His death could not be connected to his current diet or his age; our veterinarian said that she has seen similar events in young (<10 year old) birds on healthy diets. Most likely, genetics or the same kind of low-level (impossible to detect in birds as yet) inflammatory disease that is related to heart disease in humans was responsible.

We will have no further information

Thank you Cindy. Rest in peace sweet Alex.

Cindy, I am curious as to who exactly did the necropsy and what labs were involved with same. Do you know if it was his regular vet(s) or some vet(s) associated with his regular vet(s) or associated with the the Alex foundation and Irene in any way? Inquiring minds are just curious, well you know.............

I don't know it wasn't stated. My impression was from reading that his own doctor was doing it there was something said about her/him being away. But it's only my impression.
