infection

Hi all, My AG (10 years old) was recently diagnosed with a bacterial and fungal infection in his crop. Since then I have been given meds to give him twice a day for 2 weeks. The vet said his behaviour should return back to normal within 2 days. It’s been 5 and he is behaving ok/ mostly normal...

Hello, Guys! I have an appointment with my avian vet tomorrow but I was wondering if any parrot parents have experienced this with their bird? My baby Pearl has been acting weird since last night (weird being she seems uncomfortable to sit/relax and climb her cage) so i’ve taken extra...

Hello, I am in a very tough spot right now after realizing I made a huge mistake with my green cheek conure. She is very sick and I want to get some advice. I thought my bird Cosmo was eating a healthy diet, but I guess I was not paying enough attention to what she ate out of what I gave her...

Hey Parrot Mom/Dad community! After having a talk with my avian vet I decided to deliver a feces sample to his lab, but I have a general question that I forgot to ask my vet: Can feces determine infections such as chlamydia? Or do you specifically require a blood sample for that? I really doubt...

Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I am truly looking for help since no vet has been able to help me properly so far and it's making me panic soooo much. A few months ago, my cockateil had something itching him to the extent of bleeding himself. I sprayed a medicine on him and gave him a good...

I don't know what to think as I type this. I am heartbroken. My sweet budgie Leo died tonight--he was only 2 years and 7 months old. The worst part is that it was my fault. My sleep schedule has been horribly messed up, so lately, I would stay up all night. Even if I covered his cage, Leo would...

Hello guys. I noticed yesterday that one of Honey’s nostrils (the left one) look different than the other. It looks a tiny bit swollen, perhaps? My family keeps telling me that it looks fine and I’m just being anxious. Am I being paranoid or is something going on with him? My previous vet is...

Hi, So my little green cheeks conure jumped on my cat yesterday and it was so quick my cat caught him... I checked him and couldn't see any marks or anything . It was too late to go to the vet here so I waited, and this morning he was in a bad shape, couldn't eat and he seemed tired so...

Hi there, I just got a call from my brothers work to come in and check out their 4 year old parakeet for what they thought may be a hurt leg. I work with animals for a living and am currently in school for veterinary technician. I know I am not a vet, but it is Sunday and there is no vets open...

I know there are infections that are transmissible to humans from birds and the focus on the information seems to be what people can catch from birds. What about the other way around? I have a cold/tonsillitis/bronchitis/throat infection/cough-based something. Assuming it's just a normal...

Hey I'm still new to this site and still a fairly new owner of a Dusky Conure named Java. :green2: Java is 4 years old. I just took Java to the vet yesterday morning he was acting lethargic, slightly vomiting and not breathing very well.:( They did an x-ray, contrast study, blood work and they...
