Default Leroy is bobbing his tail a little

Eric got in this afternoon for the holiday and of course brought Leroy. He has had 4 of his shots and the vet said it would be ok to bring him here, just keep them separate. He is upstairs and Ruby is downstairs and we will scrub our hands good between touches. I noticed thought that he is bobbing his tail every now and then. Seems like I have heard that isn't good. Any thoughts? He is doing just great otherwise and seems to be just fine. Eating and playing well. Being a real sweetheart.

Is it 1 bob every so often or continued bobbing when he breathes? One bob is quite fine, he is just getting comfortable, bobbing when he is just on the perch as he breathes is a really bad sign.

Yes I've heard the same thing - never have seen it myself.

If you have some apple cider vinegar you might want to put 1/2 tsp in a cup of water. If he has any digestion issues that should help him - it won't hurt him.

Thanks guys! It isn't continuous. Just every now and then so maybe he is ok. He goes back to the vet on Monday for another shot so Eric will ask her then. Say a prayer please!
