Thanks for your advice. I have had three Prolia injections and really dont want the next one. My bone density based on Dexa results definitely showed significant improvement. I am a big researcher. Reclast or Aclasta as it is called in Canada sounds like a whole new kettle of worms. However, discontinuing Prolia without going on a "relay" drug for one year puts you at risk for vertebral fractures. This is a tiny little fact that many doctors fail to mention at the outset. Amgen, the maker of Prolia, now has this warning in their own literature.
Right now, from my perspective, there are no terrific pharmaceutical choices for osteoporosis.
Wishing your parrot continued good health. Stay safe!

@sue225 As you say, there really are "no terrific pharmaceutical choices for osteoporosis" but the risk is fracturing something and older people who fracture a hip are often in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives and also many pass way within a year due to lack of mobility. I am doing all of the things that have been advised except medication, which I would have done by now if not for the current situation.

This is very frightening stuff.
