Current Update on Pepe My name is Pepe and I have Aspergillosis


To learn more about aspergillosis click here.


There are many sites that explain about Aspergillosis. It can be fatal but doesn't have to be if treated aggressively.

Pepe is a SICK little guy! He has about a 50-50 chance to live through this. We will fight this fight! Pepe deserves that much. All input, all prayers, all assistance is appreciated. Pepe required a cage with more ventilation as part of his treatment.


At present his Avian vet bills are beyond 700 dollars, his medications are near 140 dollars and require regular refills.

Not long ago Chandra Dunbar was looking at my page and she had a nebulizer for me. Thank you Chandra! The nebulizer seems to be helping and I'm getting stronger. I talk more now because I feel better. NO-one wants to chat when they don't feel good! Thanks again Chandra and to all the others who have helped me get better, thank you! My Vet says I still have a ways to go but it looks like we are on the right road now!

All help is appreciated in this issue. At present PePe is on Cipro and Ithraconazole. Within the next few days an added medication will be used with a nebulizer. Totaled to date, Pepe's bills are over 1500.00. There is no price on the love Pepe gives to us. We'd be as bad as the one who dumped him to do less than our best and with your help we can beat Aspergillosis.

I don't think I'll ever understand how anyone could do this to such a sweet little guy...when there are rescues all over! There are three good rescues in the area where Pepe traded was for fish. I'll keep this page up and if you have fund-raising ideas let us know! We need to raise the funds to pay for PePe's medical care.

How Pepe arrived at Knapptime

My last mommy traded me for a FISH TANK but a nice lady named Sharon saved me!

I kept hanging onto the front of the cage, breathing LOUD, but the people at the Pet store still wouldn't take me to a doctor, instead they sold me to Sharon for 150 dollars. Guess they thought I wouldn't be around long... Do you believe in Angels? Sharon was my guardian angel!

They tell me that my breathing is not supposed to sound like that...I'm supposed to weigh more than I do, Im not supposed to have mucous in my mouth, ... wonder how they know all that?

The lady (they called her "vet") took blood from my neck and sent it to a special place. We are waiting for the lady to call us now. I take LOTS of medicine! Knapptime says my "vet" bills are high (sorta like a tree, I guess...)
