Pineapple 2 years
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
I have a (we think) 2 year old pineapple conure. A couple of weeks ago he started making some occasional clicking sounds when breathing and sometimes a zipper-sounding noise. It almost sounds like his nose is stuffy sometimes. Seems to get worse on exertion and sometimes after eating. He also seems to be itching his nose more than usual.
He's otherwise his happy li'l self, eating, drinking and playing. He lost 3 grams but regained some after some extra millet and flax seeds. His poops are normal, they have always been on the firm side.
I've taken him to the vet twice now. They've looked him up and down and assured me everything looks/sounds fine. He didn't really make the noise at the vet's of course. The second visit the vet told me she may have heard something but she wasn't sure. They put him on Baytril but it doesn't seem to help. They flushed his sinuses and what he didn't swallow came out clear.
Any similar experiences?
