Is that done by an avian vet at least?Well the issue I have is there's no other symptoms but he does do it when he's not annoyed. Like he might be sat in my hand and do it a few times for seemingly no reason, then stop. Spend a day doing it alot one way or the other then the next day only do it a couple times cause I did something he didn't like.
He's healthy and active otherwise. No swellings, not any more fluffed up than normal, no odd poops, no worrying weight change (my scales aren't great and the I've had to put things on the scales to get him there, so he averages between 71g-73g. never higher or lower), no other breathing noises, noise and eye's are clear and doesn't seem lethargic.
So basically I don't think putting him through a blood test with a non-avian vet is worth the stress he'll get at this point in time (not a money thing, my vet wasn't guuna take a leg over it. between £50 -£80 for bloods depending how much they'd test for. This is apparently the normal rate for birds in the UK. But for a broad spectrum test they'd need to take more blood then normal (and it would be broad spec' if I do get it done).
Side note: I think that's $77 - $124.
Baseline bloodwork for my GCC in Nova Scotia - $550 to $600 . I wish it was $124
It is, she's the only certified avian vet in NS. Luckily located a 5 minute drive from my house.
