Mmmmk so i'll let every one know since I work at petsmart:

-First of all when this psittacosis scare came out petsmart didnt even bother to supply us with the right masks until two months into the whole ordeal. They left us with surgical masks and were suppose to be using N-95 of higher approved masks
-In the article it said that "petsmart is not aware of any confirmed cases where employees or customers have come down with the illness." Yah well that because they didnt bother to test any of us for it. A total of 8 people got sick at our store, but you know there was a "cold" going around of course
-The birds were fed an "experimental" (and it said that on the lable too) millet food with a Doxycycline based medication on it. We had to feed it for 45 days and then the birds are still in iso for another 14 days.
-Out of the 100 and something birds we had in our store, only 2 we believe came down with the infection. None of the birds died thankfully.

So i'd just thought I would fill ya'll in! I'm so glad to be getting out of there finally!
