Just Got up this morning to put my girl outside and I noticed this small bump on her white skin on the face as you can see she’s acting normal playing eating talking should I be concerned

Hi guys! I adopted a linnie a few weeks ago and have been trying to nail where her leg band could be from. It says BPD 0795, which is not listed on any of the official leg band registries, so I gave up. But I tried diving deeper today and I found a few forum posts elsewhere that say that it...

Pied cocktail, got bit by a mouse, PC's leg started bleeding but it eventually stoped or i think it slowed down . The leg by looking at it i think the bones are broken , swallen for the colour part i cant tell because the dried up blood and PC cant stand on it. No vet is open right now or...

Hi everyone, so I have this young parrot, 3 weeks till now, he has been happily living with me all this far, and my family and I take care of it very well. We give is a mush of water and mixed grains, like a paste(A bit watered down one of course, to ensure it isn't very thick). We give it a...

Hello! To get straight to the point, I’m an anxious mess, and worried about taking my birds to the vet soon. Nothing scary at the moment, just have some concerns of Majora’s recent change in behaviour that I want to rule out isn’t caused by pain or illness! I’ve never taken my birds to the vet...

I recently had to take over hand feeding on a 4 week old green cheek conure. I have never handfed before but did a lot of research to try to help this baby survive. He has been eating well until today. He ate 11ml in the morning, next feeding, wouldn’t eat at all. Got 2 ml in but that’s it and...

Hello all. As the title states, my father's Blue and Gold Macaw, Mango, passed away today at the age of around 29 years old due to egg binding. I am writing this thread to ask for opinions on whether or not the veterinarians provided the right advice on how to handle Mango's health. I want to...

Hi all, My green cheek conure was badly bitten by my jack russell earlier and is in a very bad shape. He is not able to stand, barely keeping his eyes open, not drinking water, not eating food. Every now and then he will flap his wings violently then will calm down again. He has two wounds on...

So I went to the vet yesterday and they gave me a pill -I believe it’s name is carnitrix- they told me to either feed him it directly or crush it and put it with the food. My first question is that the food I’ll feed him is going to be moist as he has to be hand fed because he’s weak? Second...

Ok sorry but English is not my first language. okay, I'm really stressed and exhausted and, just freaking out. My galah was tired and droopy yesterday so I took him to the vet yesterday, the vet suspected some kind of poisoning but the lab results are not in yet. The doctor gave him...

Hello, // This is going to be a long wall of text but please read it if you have time. I am very stressed and confused. So I have a cockatiel, a very small cockatiel at that. He is almost a year old and I weigh him every morning and night. In the mornings he is typically between the weight...

Does anyone know any reputable vets around Austin? Thank you in advance! Have a lovely day!

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...

Budgie is Hurt Please Help! Hi, It’s been awhile since I’ve used the forums so I’m not sure if I’m using it right again but I’m not really sure what to do. I took my two budgies to the bird store I got them from to get their nails trimmed. Usually the owner does the grooming and it goes well...

Hi everyone, hope you’re all safe and well. This is a bit of a long read but I’d really appreciate if anyone can help us out. I have a lovebird who is around 2 years old On June 30th we noticed jellybeans right foot was weak, and his right wing slightly droopy. He was still able to walk and...

I have a 9 year old rosella that has pretty big bald patches under both his wings, he's been to the vet for multiple tests including beak and feather disease, mites and liver disease but all came back clear. My vet doesn't seem to think it's caused by plucking because there's no irritation, and...

So just got Kermit's results back from the vets for her yearly visit, and they look awesome!... sort of. Her blood and metabolic panel came back very well. She has no sign of infection, deficiencies, etc. Except from her gram stain, the testing lab found "many" yeast. Kermit had this issue...

My parakeet began throwing up clear liquid this afternoon, is lethargic, and not behaving normally. I took her to the vet, they did a physical on her and said everything seemed normal. They said they could do x-rays and other diagnosis things, but they said the stress could potentially kill her...

It seems to be the season for vet visits in the conure section... I opted to take her in 4 months early. Lately I've been having a funny feeling about her health. Sometimes I worry she's not active enough, or the occasional bubble in her poop, and in light of the seizures in January I'm...

The conure was playing on top of her cage. Located on top this cage was a metal washer and nut that had came loose from her jungle gym. She was found playing around with the nut that was loose. However, when I went to screw the nut back on the washer was missing. Furthermore, She managed...

Hi, I'm adopting an eclectus and have had quite a lot of questions. I found a free resource, petcoach.com, where the questions are answered by vets and vet techs. I thought it was extremely helpful so just passing it along. The vet who responded suggested a book for new bird owners, BIRDS...

hi, i've only had my ggc two weeks, and he is my first bird. im pretty sure he's never been to a vet, im not sure of his age, but he's starting to molt, im also pretty sure hes under a year. today he woke up with a funny small sounding voice which lasted about a minute, and hes sounded like hes...

Hiya, new member here! My cockatiel, Pan seems to be a little sick (I think a respiratory infection of a sort (maybe)). He's just as active and eats as normal but I did catch him breathing heavily for a little while. I've booked an appointment with an avian vet but the earliest I could book is...

Hi All! My Blue Head has developed what appears to be some form of a growth under his tongue. This is causing him what I believe, to eat less. His keel is protruding more than normal. The vet just weighed him at 260 grams. Blood test shows elevated white blood cell count and before the...

Hi! I'm back with a new questions about my rescue orange winged amazon Bonnie. Turns out poetaster we got Bonnie from just got slapped with assault and kidnapping charges. They got into a disagreement about reptile care and locked the door and beat up a few customers. Whats more, when we called...

My wife let me know our parrot flew into the window pretty hard this afternoon. He was stunned at first, but let her pick him up. He wouldn't leave her shoulder for about 2 hours, had trouble swallowing water initially, and his footing was off (he seemed very clumsy and off-balance). He was very...

Hello all! I've just made an appointment to take my 10 year old Green Cheek Conure, Burgundy, to the vet for a grooming. But I'm pretty nervous because the last time we took him to a groomer, he had a bad anxiety attack. His beak was open in a way that I can only describe as panting and he...

Hello! My GCC (not sexed, but we think she's F), regurgitated twice: once last night and once this morning. I panicked because she hasn't done this since she was a baby. I did take her to the vet. Normal weight, normal gram stain. Normal behavior. The vet said to take this seriously, that it...

When Samantha gets home on Thursday we will have to turn around and take her to her first vet visit for an initial check up so that we can establish a relationship with the exotic doc. What is and isn't necessary for this visit? I know that vets, like many other places, are interested in...

So I haven't even had my little baby cockatiel, Sunshine, for a week yet and she's sick. I have been worried, the breeder said she was ten weeks but I thought she was younger because of her sitting so low, difficulty perching and she doesn't peck. She always seemed hungry, crying, even after a...

So As most have you known i got a pet cockatiel two days ago... well long story short i had him out and was walking around my house doing stuff and he just decided he wanted to fly (i was putting dishes away and i think it might have spooked him when i bent down and put a pan away) and he flew...

I took Morgan to the vet because he was having some diarrhea. They did a bunch of exams and drew blood. He hated being handled and SCREECHED AND CRIED when they held him in the towel. He was put on two medications for the diarrhea and they have to be given orally. When we got home he has been...

I know it is important to take the bird to the vet very shortly after taking it home, but what is the appropriate timing? I don't want to scare the poor thing to death. The place where I am looking to acquire my bird from has a health guarantee so long as the bird is seen within 5 days. Advice...

We are new owners of a 3 week old Alexandrine Parakeet called kiffy. He/She is 6 weeks old this week and seems to be doing fine. Just one question, dose anyone think its worth going to a vet just to get the bird checked over? Cheers and any advice about feeding from soft food to seed would be...

Hi everyone - I lost my GCC, Abbie, two days ago at the ER Vet. I took her in for what appeared to be a seizure. We arrived after her episode had ended and she was in perfect form (dancing, talking, showing off, etc) so we assumed that we just needed to do a few simple tests to make sure...
