Hi it’s Sunday no veterinarian? 3 year old yellow head amazon , sneezed 3 times, he had a bit of water out of nostrils he’s not eaten his food overnight / today 12:22 midday he has eaten my food, he won’t get off my shoulder, yes i will take him to the vets tomorrow, and i presume antibiotics,however there is no diagnosis even hinted at for not eating and sneezing will you give me the hint of the diagnosis, PLEASE 🙏🏻😢for SPARKY X
Hi Miss H, thank you for watching our video and commenting. We do apologize for the late reply and hope that Sparky is now on the road to recovery! Sneezing and lack of appetite can be a number of different issues and therefore would recommend she sees a veterinarian for diagnosis. :)
Vetafarm thanks i did, they said the same as yourself, they don't really know it could be a number of things, antibiotics are the safest treatment, and it certainly appears that the antibiotics are doing the trick, thank you so much for answering, take care, thanks X
You are simply fantastic, love all your video's. Sometimes it take exactly what you have done, a step by step on how to do things. You have helped me before with my sick birds and for that i thank you tremendously, I have been waiting to see another video of yours, YAY!!!. Thank you:)
I keep lace curtains on my windows to keep birds from flying into them. sheers are good too. and because they are escape artists and can fly out the door in seconds, use beaded curtains over doorways
I have no more hope on my love bird anymore. I called the person who sold it to me and he said he had no idea to help my bird. I put him under the sun to see if he can wake up but it doesn't seem to work. Please answer as soon as possible!
Hi Ryan, you will need to take your bird to an Avian Veterinarian. We really cannot do very much over the internet. You bird sounds like it needs to have a proper physical examination to determine why your bird is unwell.
Oh my gosh! Ok, I gotta learn more about birds. I figured out that my dead bird was a boy but this new bird is a girl! I'm gonna take care of it well and get babies!
my parrot died she vomitting everyday and Bob her head side by side not up and down one day she didn't eat food when I reach to my house she was laying on her stomach and her head can't lift up can u tell me what happened to my lovely parrot I love her so much
Hi there, sorry to hear about your parrot. I can't tell you what has happened to your bird, it is best if you can have a necropsy performed on the bird. There are many infections and diseases that can cause vomiting in birds.
thanks for your reply but my parrot take her head into wings for last two weeks is there a sign of sickness also she became very weak while vomiting she vomit food and white leather
Would be great to have such a video on parasites and worms - I currently raise 3 eurasian jays. turned out after much hassle that the suffer from gapeworms.
I currently don’t have enough money to take my lovebird Zuzu to the vet. He is bobbing, his eyes are almost always closed and his feathers are always fluffed up. I’m not sure what to do plz help! 🥺
If his fethers are fluffed up all the time he is dying but if u have a nother bird put ur sick bird in a different cage so ur other bird don't get sick
Thanx a lot doc..u r such a wonderful person..thanx a lot ur enormous help..would never ever forget..no one answered me noone helped me..but u such a great person thnx doc
My Golden Finch male was losing his feathers first on his head then down his neck so a rubbed paraffin oil hoping to kill off any mites but after a week he lost more feathers on his abdomen. What should I do?
Hi Gabrielle, did you mean your male Gouldian Finch? If so, it is common for male Gouldian finches to experience hormonal imbalances that results in symptoms like these. We would recommend having him checked by a veterinarian. If you cannot do that, the first thing we would recommend doing, is to rest him far away from any females.
I am really thankful to you. because of u I could save my budgie from dying. one of my budgie died earlier I wish I could have seen this and provided her aid to live. I am happy I could save this one
My cockatoo has not been moving a lot lately, but he is drinking and eating normally but he is fluffing his feathers a lot and was also sneezing, someone help !
It would be advisable to take your cockatoo to a veterinarian, there are many respiratory conditions that birds can suffer from, Vetafarm does make a lot of medications that can help with these but to treat your bird effectively you will need a diagnosis.
i you put the bird in a hospita cage boge just like in the in the ideo how can he see inside the box when its all dark and how manny days is their any mdication i need to give
Hello, the bird doesn't need to see while he is inside the box, we are covering him so he can rest and not be stressed by things on the outside. The hospital box is used when you can't take your bird to the vet straight away, so you can keep him in the box until you can take him to a veterinarian. If he is unwell you can use Vetafarm's Poly-Aid Plus until you can take him to a vet, this will provide him with electrolytes to keep him hydrated, carbohydrates and proteins to give him energy to survive.
sadly there are not enough avian vets in regional Australia, our nearest one is a 5 hour drive away, and the vet we have in our town have very limited knowledge of birds, he actually said we know more than what they do, they are good for physical injury such as splayed legs, or broken wing but actual illness, common response is if they bird is showing illness then it is on its way out. sad but true.
Unfortunately we know all too well about this problem, there are some promising young veterinarians and veterinary students coming through with a keen interest in exotics these days, however they are few and far between.
Same problems in Italy, birds keeping and showing is very popular but it's very-very hard to find a Vet that specializes in birds...most of the times us breeders we seek help and advice on forums and online groups but you need to be very careful because some people think they can make a diagnosis and prescribe a cure over a picture or a video they've seen. Antibiotics and medicines abuse in doing a lot of damage in the long run...birds are becoming weak and hard to breed.
i have an indian ring neck and he/she about 8 month. When i got zipper he was maybe 4 month old and we hand feed him. well something is going on with him and the symptoms are no balance slight leg usage and smelly poop. he still eats well and has a hardy appetite. what can i do before talking him to the vet?
hi my love bird is sick.she's not moving that much and drowsy.She's fluffier.her body is getting black and her nose.Please help what to do.I can't see her dying 😞
I just inherited a 40 year old amazon parrot and I'm so worried about her shes not talking her voice sounds like it's gone shes fluffy and looks like shes shaking but over also moved from the only place shes ever know I'm scared everything I read says shes dying I dont know what to do
hi i have a 15 yr old cocktill still eating but not drinking much he has really bad smell like rotten flesh and he poop is green runny do you think its kidneys failing is there any medcine i can buy for him online as i cant get him to a vet thanks
Vetafarm i did try plastic box but i couldnt put holes in it so 4 birds died when i bought them to bring home it was 1 hour away but the man told me the heat killed them he said it was 35 that day i had them in the boot with a blanket over them so they couldnt hear noise
How are you Dr. Tony, I have a cockatiel recently he may have Giardia, may i know which product i can buy for treatment as the city is lockdown, we need buy something to treat him
I have been given a baby Budgie, That is quite alert but has an awful raised black lump on his lower tummy... could it be a tumour. I think he also has French moult.. please help
Hi Janice, I strongly recommend you take him to an Avian Vet for examination, that lump certainly sounds a bit strange. However we have had great success curing french moult by using Vetafarm's Multivet Liquid.
and my budgie a a very new new budgie to the avery. he is showing signs of being sick is it normal to have a sick busgie when he is so new to the avery?
Hello,, Veta Farm !! I have a very important question!? My Amazon parrot 🦜 My love. Out of nowhere!! She broke her beak! 😱 ( not too large)but enough that. She bled a little and I held her and quickly applied a sterilized mini wipe and held it firmly on the end. It finally formed a clot. Seeing my vet tomorrow. I would like to know if you have already done a video on this type of injury!? If not may you do one? When this happened, I couldn’t stop shaking and going back and forth in panic. I new what to do but, she is my baby.
Hi Rhonda, thank you for watching our video and for your story and feedback. We do not currently have a video solely based on broken beaks, but I will pass your feedback onto our team! We hope that she feels better soon!
Vetafarm thank You 🙏🏼. I still would like more feedback if you possibly have the time? She is much better! And her Aviary Vet says her break was straight across, said that that is an easier to heal break. As a posed to zig zagged And less nerve pain. So she is eating a bit now and starting to play with her toys. And best of all. She won’t let my husband get close to me. Love it. When she was in great health. She would absolutely go after my broom. She is protective of me. And I her. We are best of friends. My baby. Thank you for everything you do. Fan forever.
@@loopedaround5951 not a problem, thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that she has begun eating and playing with her toys again, it sounds like you have done the right things for her!
Thank you for your channel. Please please please. I need you help. I leave in Greece. I have a canary 4 mounts old. He is very sick from a mount ago. I went to the doctors but my baby is still sick. At first he is drinking antibiotics as doxycicline then medicines for trixomonadies. Trixomonex after that the doctor find streptococcos. Now he is drinking amoxycicline but he is not good. His mouth is opening and he is eating only egg. In his mouth has inflection and he can't close it.How i can help him. In Greece we have only two doctors for birds.Can you help me please?Thank you very much.
Hi, thank you for contacting us! You have done the correct thing by taking the bird to a veterinarian and getting him some antibiotics. The only other thing that it could be, is an Air Sac Mite Infection. Your veterinarian should be able to provide you with a product for this kind of treatment.
@@ΜαρίαΣιμώνη-γ5ω Not a problem at all, I hope that your Canary feels better soon! Following antibiotic treatment, we would recommend getting it onto a probiotic supplement such as Synbiotic or Probotic to re-establish gastrointestinal flora! :)
I found a grown bird outside. It had it’s head burried in its wing and I doubt it was able to fly. I took it home cause it’s going to get eaten by animals outside. There’s some brown liquid discharge from it and its feathers are puffy. It rarely moves its head. It tried flapping its wings but I don’t think it can fly since I almost stepped on it outside too. I followed the instructions of the hospital cage but what should I do now?
Hi, thank you for commenting. It sounds like the bird you found might be quite sick. We would recommend getting the bird to a veterinarian or a wildlife carer for treatment. In the meantime you could give the bird a supplement such as Poly-Aid Plus to administer concentrated nutrients in one direct dose.
Dear Irteaza, it is difficult to know what antibiotics or treatment is required for your bird without doing a consultation and determining the extent of the injury to the bird. We would recommend you see your avian vet and have them examine the bird and it’s injury. Most importantly, ensure you keep the bird warm and hospitalised until it can be seen by a vet and you may also want to administer some Poly Aid Plus as a first aid supplement.
my cockatiels aged between 8months and 5years,i feed them only seeds..i live in a country where there is no avian vet and any awareness for birds..so after searching in net i found and decided to start them with harrison high potency,zupreem natural and nutriberries as morning treat..shal i give them all like one in morning and other in eve?and they are on baytril..so giving all makes any harm to my tiels?pls help me..it wud be helpful for me..ur answers wud b valuable..there is no avian vet in my country
Hello, if you can put your birds on to a pellet diet that will be better for their health. You can put the pellets in their food bowl with the seed and transition them to pellets. Some birds take longer to take to pellets than others and you don't want to starve your birds. Why are they on Baytril?
I have an alexendrine parrot. He has not been eating for 3 4 days and silently sitting in the corner. His legs are not working. He cant walk.He is only drinking water and his Dropping colour is white. How can I treat him?plz help me
Hi Gloriya, thank you for contacting us! Unfortunately with those symptoms it could be several illnesses. We would recommend taking your bird to your nearest vet as soon as possible.
Hi, thank you for watching our video! If you believe that your bird has a respiratory infection, we would recommend taking it to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. We do have some products that will treat respiratory infections. For a Chronic Respiratory Disease (Mycoplasma infection) we have Triple C, Spectovet or Psittavet. :)
Doctor, I have a 7 year old Cockateil and he has been passing watery stools since last Thursday. The feacus seems like bits and scattered and the urea is webby and white. Sometimes it’s just water and nothing else. I tried an antibiotic ofloxacin and metranidazole for 2 days. It seemed like getting better but back to being watery again. Will the triple c and symbiotic help? If yes, how and when should these be given? Kindly advice
A dove just fell in front of me. Its head is turned over its shoulder. It's breathing and blinking and that's almost all the vital signs it's showing so far! I have already prepared the hospital box, so at the moment it's lying in that box wrapped in a towel with a light bulb reasonably close to its body for warmth. What else can I urgently do to save that bird?!
+HungryForHeaven everything you are doing currently sounds good. Keep the dove warm and in a quiet area. I do suggest trying to get it to an avian veterinarian as soon as you can, if the bird has any broken bones or internal damage you are unlikely to see this externally.
+Vetafarm Thank you so much for getting back to me and for all the useful tips! Unfortunately I won't be able to take it to the avian vet until 2 days from now. So far the bird is alive but unable to feed itself. So I learned how to feed it and give it water. I'm feeding it wheat seeds and giving it water using a syringe. What I'm struggling with is determining the proper rations of seeds and water I should give to the bird. Do you, sir, have any suggestion on this regard?! Thank you so much in advance!
+HungryForHeaven It would depend on the age of the bird as to how much is should eat and drink, generally though, birds should consume between 8% and 10% of their body weight in food each day. I realise this is a couple of days late, did you manage to get it to the veterinarian?
HungryForHeaven quick question my brother and I have been helping my parents have been making is there any possibility where they could be bringing or is it not the breeding season or what is it because my first had started meeting at June and they just got a big dude June 4th 2016 what is the meaning of my birds are mating humans are going to breed and sometimes she was really scared crapless
hlw dr. my baby cockatail is so sick..he cant move properly also cant see anything :( dont knw what should i do..plz suggest me what to do.so that he can see properly.. a friend of mine suggest me that little drop apple cider vineger mixd with water can cure eye problem.plz help
Hello, I have a 22 year old African Grey Congo. This morning I seen that he hadnt eaten since the night before. He wont come out and just wants to sleep. Yesterday i used an electric power washer in my apartment, and im wondering if it may have emitted fumes, making him sick. I made his cage dark and warm as you suggested and hope he is improved tomorrow. I am worried
Thank you for watching and commenting on our video. We are sorry to hear that your African Grey isn't doing too well. We would highly recommend getting him to a veterinarian for consultation.
@@vetafarm Yes he is currently at an Avian Vet specialist, and I am awaiting a call to pick him up tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the reply, great channel.
@@vetafarm He had passed away while at the pet hospital, tests revealed muscle trauma however there were no physical signs, he had to be force fed and was non respondent to treatment. He was my buddy since 2007 and will be sadly missed, and fondly remembered. Tj, African Grey Congo 1998- 2021 RIP
Hello Rita, it will need to see a veterinarian. There are many reasons a bird could be open mouth breathing and many different respiratory infections it could be. The bird will need to see a vet for an examination and diagnosis.
Vetafarm hellow there is not avain doctor available here in our country.and took treatment from the best still my bird is not recovering from respiratory problem.I can provide u the video of my bird.please if u can help me,I will be forever grateful.
hey doc plz help me think so my bird is sick I don have any avien vet NEA my house. hez fully inactive n his feathers are loosing wat to do plz plz plz help me
Hi Borhan, for a 6 month old chick that is going through its first moult, we would recommend using our Multivet which contains Moulting Aid, vitamins, minerals and proteins. The Multivet mixes up in their drinking water. :) For their diet we would recommend our Finch & Budgie Crumbles.
If they are eating, drinking and pooping normally then yes, they are likely to just be resting. If you are concerned about them though, be sure to take them to an Avian Veterinarian.
ATTENTION PLEASE: I have a Alexander parakeet 3 months old parrot. what type of food I can give him? can I give him strawberry and red kidney beans????? I think he is sick. He sometimes stands in one foot . and get his head inside his wings while sleeping. I don't have vet available near. what to do in emergency. I don't know what going wrong with him. HELP
Hi Diana, he should be eating a complete pellet/crumble as his staple diet. Something like Vetafarm's Finch and Budgie Crumble, or Superior Egg and Biscuit. He can definitely eat most type of fruits and vegetables. I would recommend google searching some safe bird vegetables and fruits and introduce these into his diet. Bird do sometimes stand on one leg whilst resting and Budgerigars and Parakeets, as well as most birds do turn their heads around and tuck their face into their back over the top of the wings to sleep.
Hi Kathy, thank you for watching and commenting on our video! We would not recommend giving the budgie any medication until he has seen the veterinarian. It will depend on what illness he has, as to what treatment he will need. What kind of symptoms is he showing?
I have a parakeet that I had previously brought to a local veterinarian who had prescribed baytril for it symptoms or tail-bobbing, clear nasal discharge out of one nostril and slight wheezing. Dan Hibiki was on it for 10 day's it seemed to have minimize his symptoms if at all. He has had a reocorunce of the clear nasal discharge and seems to rubbing his beak and head in the same area and still has the tail-bobbing and very slight wheezing that becomes more pronounced when he is excited or has done something very strenuous. Is there something else I can try or get prescribed for him or do in the meantime? The vet said it could be anything from a vitamin-a deficiency to a seed being stuck in his nose/airways. I could not afford the more advanced lab test to determine what the true bacterium was and opted for the simple poop smear test at the time of his week almost two weeks ago. He still eat's, and get's groomed and grooms my cocktail Junior, and act's like his normal self. I just don't want him to be in any pain or suffering from his particular aliments.
Hi Nicholas, your vet sounds like they are fairly on the ball about birds which is good, I would advise not giving any more antibiotics until you know what bacterium you are dealing with, as you will start to build antibiotic resistance, and we definitely do not want that. Perhaps continue with the process you are doing now, as long as he is eating and drinking well and behaving normally I would not stress too much. If you can work on saving a little bit of money for a culture and sensitivity swab on the nasal fluid that would be much more beneficial.
+Shivanee Caully As it depends on why your bird is unwell I cannot provide a time frame for how many days the bird must stay in the box. If the bird does not start to improve within a few hours it is suggested that you have your bird seen by an Avian Veterinarian ASAP. As for a torch, it will depend on what kind of torch you are wanting to use the birds don't need a "light source" as such but they require a warm spot, and most lights will provide some heat, for example a 60 watt light globe.
+Vetafarm hello sir can u tell me about the sick buggies what should i do ?? my buggie getting fever and he is very lazy these days can u suggest me best syrup or drops or other medical tablets ??? i don't know the reason but he iis looking very sad Reply
My budgie appears well but she is sneezing quite prolifically. Think a cold, what home remedies would you recommend as there is no avian vet in the city I live in. Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting on our video. These symptoms could be caused by quite a variety of different illnesses and therefore we would recommend travelling her to a veterinarian for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, we would recommend following the instructions on this video to help her fight the illness. Poly-Aid Plus is not a treatment, but is a great product for sick birds as it contains sustained-release carbohydrates, proteins, probiotics and electrolytes. These help to give the bird some energy. We do have an over the counter broad spectrum antibiotic called Triple C, that is for the treatment of bacterial infections including E. Coli (Enteritis), Mycoplasma (Chronic Respiratory Disease) and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). If you feel that your budgerigar may have a respiratory infection, it might be worth giving her a course of this antibiotic. Please ensure that you follow up the antibiotic treatment with Synbiotic or Probotic to re-establish the gastrointestinal flora in the bird. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at sales@vetafarm.com.au or on (02)69330400.
Hi..i live in a country wer ter is no avian vet..srchng in net,I'm giving my cockatiels aged betwn 9months and 5years Harrison high potenc..but its ran outoff stock I will get it back next week..inbetween these time im giving them zupreem natural,after a week I will switch them agn to high potency..I used to giv them lafener nutriberries as treat and vetafarm probiotic everyday as per u prescribed😊 wen try r ill..any harm or any wrong im doing?pls help me doc..u saved my bird wen she is ill..
Hi there, it sounds like your birds diets are fantastic, if you are not already giving fresh vegetables and fruits (bird safe) I would say adding that to their diet would be ideal!
currently everyone having seeds and veggies with vitamin drops mixed water..im thinking to changing them pellets..hope that may too boost their immune system
Great to hear that you are supplementing. If feeding seed diets, birds definitely need supplements. On pellets they wont need any supplements, except if you wanted to help boost their calcium during breeding season, that is a good idea.
There are many reasons why birds pluck, usually it is hormonal or health related. It would be best for your Conure to see an avian specialist as they can assist with treatments for both.
hi.,my lutino cockatiel is around 5 years old..she lost her tiny feathers around her left eye on sudden yesterday night..we couldnt fnd the reason.,we in india dont have avian vets to encounter what sort of probem is going on..so anyone pls help
+Tweety Hunter, I would suggest taking your budgie to an Avian veterinarian to have a full examination and diagnosis made, unfortunately there are many reasons why a bird may be "puffed up" or have diarrhea.
Ok thank you. .i will take her 2moro right now i believe she has a respitory infection because of the breathing fast...i had her near a window...i have made her a hospital box for now in a warm area
I just found an UK based internet retailer that stocks many VETAFARM products, I'm going to give it a try and hopefully i will be able to recommend some stuff to my fellow breeders...that way we can share shipping expenses (I live in Italy). Keep up the good work and keep these video coming please!!
Hi Jenan, it sounds like your bird does really need to see a vet. If you are unable to get it to a veterinarian, it may be worth trying to give it a course of a broad spectrum antibiotic such as Triple C.
Hi.need help fast plzz I found a baby budgie very sick I think it has diereah b coz it's vent is too much wet and and he poops in every 5 minutes and with little bit of blood what should i do coz where I live there r no vegetarian plz help I want to save this little baby.....😢
Hi Angela, there is not a great deal that we can do for this bird over the internet, he does need to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible if he has diarrhoea and blood in his stool. Follow the instructions on the video and perhaps try a broad spectrum antibiotic in it's water until it can be seen by a vet, something like Triple C will be fine.
Hi Pia, there can be several reasons that a budgie may regurgitate/vomit its seed back up. So in order to clarify its behaviour I need to ask a few questions. Is your budgie a male or female, and how old is it? Is this bird a pet that you handle or any aviary bird? Is it throwing up its seed onto something in particular or in the same spot, for example on you, or onto a toy? Has your budgie lost weight/condition at all? What are its droppings like? It is common for a male budgie to regurgitate what it has been eating onto a favorite person/toy as this is mating behaviour. This would be the most likely explanation if your budgie is a male. However they can also regurgitate/throw up when they are battling illnesses such as Canker, or Megabacteria infections.
Vetafarm hello sir, My budgie is a female. I have brought her just 3 month back from a vet shop. She is now 1 year old. She has not lose weight but she has become inactive. She just rest on her ladder. Her motion is a dark green with white spot. Yesterday she has throwed out all d seeds that we're not digested by her. Can I go her a apple cider vinegar dissolved in water?
Hi Pia, a female budgerigar with the symptoms that you have listed is most likely a Trichomoas infection, also known as Canker. Treatment for this is a veterinary prescribed medication, and diagnosis of this requires a crop smear, and a wet prep that must be done by a certified veterinarian. I would recommend taking your budgerigar to a Veterinarian.
Thank u so much doc..i will do as u told...should I worry for his last head hit on ceiling?he is still looking normal.will he do good or shall I do something doc?
I would just try to keep him calm and relaxed, if he does have a head injury and he cannot be seen by a vet then follow the hospital instructions in this video.
Thank you very much trustworthy good avian vets are hard to find so it is important to get reliable advise on how to keep my cockatiel less stressed until I can find one. He has a cold.
I am an experienced cockatiel owner for the past 25 years but this is only the second time one of my birds caught a cold and unfortunately my very 1st cockatiel died after treatment with antibiotics. I have 4 cockatiels now. This one is one of my original broods a real song bird. I went away on holiday for 2 weeks and left them in the care of another bird owner. Unfortunately they were not well looked after and their very large aviary was extremely dirty with little food and water on our return. I have separated him into a hospital unit & left him in full sunlight all day and covered him up for a solid 12 hr sleep. I placed honey in his water and changed it several times. Gave him amino acid enriched flax seed along with extra pumpkin, linseed, kale, milled Goji Berries in his regular seeds. He also was given apple and lettuce which he hardly touched. I am happy to say that he has picked up 100% and is calling to the other birds in hope of joining them. I think I should continue to isolate him for at least 3 days in total is that wise?
Isolation is a good idea, just to be certain, in case it is something that can be spread from bird to bird. Sounds like you are taking very good care of him! If he is on a seed based diet, along with his fruit & vegetables, but no pellets, he may benefit from a Vitamin, Mineral and Amino Acid Supplement, such as Multivet.
Thanx doc...one of my cockatiel looks overweight but I'm feeding her too Harrison high potency becoz she was ill once and overweight..any harm of feeding her high potency for 6months?some blogs show it wud be helpful for fatty liver birds..im.having no doc here to help me.so ur ans wud be very helpful doc..
I am not sure about any of the Harrison diets, I am not familiar with the diet that you speak of. I would recommend getting in contact with Harrisons and asking them. You don't want your bird to be overweight though, if she is overweight I would cut back on the amount of food provided until she is a good weight, or switch to a maintenance formula that is lower in fat.
hi doc...i got my delivered probiotic...i have read instructions doc..to clarify.,shall i store probiotics in refridgerator on medium level?i will give them mixed with water and replace it every 24hours..
I did a huge mistake, I got another conure a week ago when i come after work my both conures are always with me but today one of them was on my shoulder i didn't felt that the another one is missing and she was staying over the door i didn't saw her and i pushed the door she started to fly around and after that she stopped in panic I went to the vet immediately but they said that they are not specialists and they don't know how to treat exotic birds I don't know where else to go, she is not looking good for me she is fluffied and closing her eyes and sitting alone , I know that this is not a good sign . She still can fly i saw her today drinking water and she eat little bit fruits after the accident but usually she is eating a lot and I'm worried that she is in shock and can't get over it What I should do to help her? I'm feeling really bad i never though i will do something like that and I don't wanna she to feel any pain because I have no idea how she feels.
my lovies nap a lot too, it’s kind of a trademark thing for them, but if after an hour or two they haven’t started playing around and being loud, contact a vet :) i hope that helps
This is helpful although I wish I knew earlier. My budgie of nearly 4 years died a few days ago from cancer. I don't know any avian vets but I think this will help next time. Thankyou
+susan gundaya same thing happened to my budgie but we found he had a lump under his beak so he couldn't eat properly. I'm no expert but try any vet they might be able to help you. All the best hopefully you get help very soon.
I'm sorry to hear about your budgie is that had cancer what type of cancer did your budgie has my birthday passed away 5 years ago June 11th 2011 is that so I hope your bird rest in peace
Hi, I have a weird situation. I have a lovebird and recently found of she has 2 holes in the back of her neck. I see her breathing box and other organs. Please please help, I already looked up things for 2 hours and found nothing. I'm going to take her to the vet tomorrow. Please reply if you know anything that will help her.
Hi Christal, This doesn’t sound good at all! Due to the severity of the situation, especially if you can see organs, I would be getting the bird to a Vet straight away! It sounds like you are already doing that, which is great! Just make sure you keep him safe and well protected until you have found out what's going on. Best of luck, we hope everything goes well!
PLEASE HELP ME:I am a bird dealer & here in my town no avian vet available I generly treat my bird with medicines from my own experience & didn't have any problem for many years, I am doing it for few years, but recently few of my finche's droppings are exactly look like the seed they r having,thr dropping are not normal and looks like the same seed I feed them, and they fluffed up and sit and don't behave like before, I never encountered such problem, and donno how to treat it properly thats why seeking help from you, I am from India(from a small town),please suggest proper treatment and medicine's name for my finches,awaiting your reply and thanks in advance.
There are many potential causes for this to happen. Avian Gastric Yeast is a possibility, without having any diagnostic testing done it will be difficult to determine the cause of the undigested food. I would advise to take one of the sick birds to a veterinarian and ask for a fecal smear and crop swab to be done, and have a laboratory examine the samples for a definitive diagnosis.
My sun counre has the symptoms as you guys show a sick sun counre in this video.. and I we don’t have and bird vetarian in our country.. so I decided to perches you triple C medicine .. would that be enough for her or could you please help me with this situation... she shown exactly the same symptoms as you guys show a sick sun counre in this video
Hi Thishitha, thank you for commenting on our video! Unfortunately those symptoms can be a variety of illnesses and without a veterinary diagnosis it is very difficult to give you a treatment that we know would work! The Triple C will assist with Enteritis, Chronic Respiratory Disease and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). It is a broad spectrum antibiotic however it may or may not treat your birds illness depending on what is causing the illness. You would need a diagnosis for us to accurately give you the name of a treatment that would work. :)
Hi Maya, birds will often not show symptoms of illness until it is already really bad. A bird who is constantly fluffed up and not behaving as they normally would needs a visit to an Avian Vet ASAP. However, birds will fluff up and ruffle their feathers often, as a sort of "readjustment". It's important to know what is and what isn't normal for your bird.
Vetafarm im kind of confuse and i think my parrot is sick because she/he keeps closing his/her eyes and his/her fethers are puffy and keeps sleeping.....im so worried about my parrot
Hi, if you can take your bird to a vet for examination that would be best, however I would start with a parasite eradication protocol as my first point, treating the bird for all parasites (internal and external) and be sure to treat the environment as well. I would then look at the love birds diet and make sure he is getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs and then do a short course of an antibiotic like Triple C just to rule out any minor infections, followed Synbiotic Avian for 10 days after the antibiotics.
HI, i wanted to know what is going on with my zebra finch she is acting normal but the problem is she has no feathers under its wing and all round its belly. Now when i asked my friends about that they said that it is just changing her feathers but she laid an egg before so it is not small, so that is the first thing i want to know weather she is sick or is that normal and if she is then how to treat her. Now i have a second question i found out from a video that all of that could be caused by an egg stuck in her like she needs help getting it out , now if that is true how do i know for sure that it is an egg bound not a some kind of mite doing all of this. I have a final question when i was looking at it i saw something weird it had like little yellow balls and fluid in her neck now is that something i should worry about or is that normal PLEASE answer me ASAP this bird is very important to me. Thanks
Hello. Egg binding and egg laying does usually not result in feather loss. Is she plucking these feathers out herself? If she is not on a complete pellet/crumble diet I would suggest trying to convert her. Majority of the time feather loss can be attributed to either malnutrition or behavioural problems. If it is a behavioural trait she may pluck her feathers when she starts to go into breeding season, around spring. For the most part though a good diet will improve her feather production and vitality. If you cannot source or convert your finch to a pellet diet then a good quality multivitamin would be essential to use with a seed diet. As for the yellow balls of fluid in the neck. I would strongly suggest having her seen by an avian specialist vet. This does not sound normal...
Hi Anthony, the hospital box has no set time frame for it's use. Ideally you will use the hospital box from the point you notice the bird is unwell until you feel the bird is better, I strongly recommend using a hospital box when you cannot get the bird to a veterinarian straight away. As for the heat source, I would suggest using it whilst the bird is in hospital. However if it is a hot day, you may not need it.
OK THANKU SIR.BUT WHEN GOULDIAN BABY STARTED TO MOULTING AFTER 5-6MONTH THIS TIME IS VERY CRITICAL.WHAT MEDICINE I USED THIS TIME?SIR PLEASE TELL ME.MENTION NAME OF THE MEDICINE.THANK U...
Generally we do not recommend any medicine other than Multivet for moulting unless there is a problem with the moult. We would recommend contacting your veterinarian for a consultation :)
Hi Susan, it would be best to take your bird to an Avian Veterinarian as soon as possible. Follow Dr Tony's instructions until you can have your bird seen by a veterinarian, there is not much we can suggest without physically examining the bird.
Thank you this was very helpful. But my parakeet has been having green and wet poop and I know this is bad but all other aspects are fine: Energy, feeding and drinking, and playing. What causes this? My house is cold but not freezing... Do I need to warm him or give him space or what?
+HammyHamster If you are not too concerned with the colour of his poop then I would recommend using Vetafarm Probiotic on him for a few weeks and see if this helps to reset his tummy, birds also tend to avoid showing any weakness/illness as it could get them injured or killed in the wild, so he may actually be sick and just be trying to hide it from you.
***** Thanks for the help! But he does seem healthier today than the day I posted that. Now I am concerned of him plucking his feathers. He plucked out 2 of them in front of me and I was worried about him. One problem to the next :/
+HammyHamster His runny, green poo and feather plucking could be linked to stress, or illness. If you can, I would suggest taking him to a avian veterinarian just to make sure everything is running ok inside :) Just to rule out illness.
***** Stress? To me he is the most carefree, grumpiest, stubborn little snob in the world. He trots around with his head in the air chewing on all of his toys and purposely flying towards my parents to poop on them. But all right I will talk to my parents about it ^^
Vetafarm Probotic is great, it is a powder that you mix with water. You can use the back of the package to calculate the dose, use the Probotic probiotic after the antibiotic treatment finishes.
Hi there. thanks for the video. it was informative. 1- could you please tell what antibiotic can we keep at home just in case we need to start giving it to the bird if need be. there are hardlyy any good vets that deal with birds on regular basis and the vet that we have found in our city, it takes time to take the bird there at times appointment takes time and so forth... so what should be given to prevent the infection, if any, from aggravating?? 2- please tell what to give to parrots/baby parrots that start sneezing?
Hi Tannia, thank you for watching our video! We manufacture several types of antibiotics but they all have different active ingredients to treat different illnesses so the effectiveness will depend on what is causing the illness. The only antibiotic that we manufacture that is available at most pet stores without having to see a veterinarian is called Triple C. It is effective against E Coli (Enteritis), Mycoplasma (Chronic Respiratory Disease) and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). Another really good product to have in your avian first aid kit is Poly Aid Plus. It contains sustained-release carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, probiotics and electrolytes. It works by giving the bird enough energy to fight the illness off themselves. We also produce a product called Coccivet for treatment of Coccidiosis which can be purchased at most pet stores. The rest of our antibiotic treatments must be purchased through a veterinarian. We would still recommend getting any bird showing signs of illness to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Parrots/baby parrots that begin sneezing could be due to a number of reasons and we would recommend giving them Poly-Aid Plus and taking them to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
I tried but he’s in a better place now
My poor budgie is sick...this video was super helpful! I hope my bird gets better soon... :'(
June Potatoes hope your bird is better now
If you have a nail, feather, or bleeding wound you can also use cornstarch or styptic powder for dogs to speed up the clotting process.
Hi it’s Sunday no veterinarian? 3 year old yellow head amazon , sneezed 3 times, he had a bit of water out of nostrils he’s not eaten his food overnight / today 12:22 midday he has eaten my food, he won’t get off my shoulder, yes i will take him to the vets tomorrow, and i presume antibiotics,however there is no diagnosis even hinted at for not eating and sneezing will you give me the hint of the diagnosis, PLEASE 🙏🏻😢for SPARKY X
Hi Miss H, thank you for watching our video and commenting. We do apologize for the late reply and hope that Sparky is now on the road to recovery! Sneezing and lack of appetite can be a number of different issues and therefore would recommend she sees a veterinarian for diagnosis. :)
Vetafarm thanks i did, they said the same as yourself, they don't really know it could be a number of things, antibiotics are the safest treatment, and it certainly appears that the antibiotics are doing the trick, thank you so much for answering, take care, thanks X
You are simply fantastic, love all your video's. Sometimes it take exactly what you have done, a step by step on how to do things. You have helped me before with my sick birds and for that i thank you tremendously, I have been waiting to see another video of yours, YAY!!!. Thank you:)
I keep lace curtains on my windows to keep birds from flying into them. sheers are good too. and because they are escape artists and can fly out the door in seconds, use beaded curtains over doorways
I have no more hope on my love bird anymore. I called the person who sold it to me and he said he had no idea to help my bird. I put him under the sun to see if he can wake up but it doesn't seem to work. Please answer as soon as possible!
Hi Ryan, you will need to take your bird to an Avian Veterinarian. We really cannot do very much over the internet. You bird sounds like it needs to have a proper physical examination to determine why your bird is unwell.
You don't have to worry anymore. I did everything I can and the bird got up ran a little bit and fainted and died. I'm sad but thanks for the advice!
Oh my gosh! Ok, I gotta learn more about birds. I figured out that my dead bird was a boy but this new bird is a girl! I'm gonna take care of it well and get babies!
my parrot died she vomitting everyday and Bob her head side by side not up and down one day she didn't eat food when I reach to my house she was laying on her stomach and her head can't lift up can u tell me what happened to my lovely parrot I love her so much
Hi there, sorry to hear about your parrot. I can't tell you what has happened to your bird, it is best if you can have a necropsy performed on the bird. There are many infections and diseases that can cause vomiting in birds.
thanks for your reply but my parrot take her head into wings for last two weeks is there a sign of sickness also she became very weak while vomiting she vomit food and white leather
This needs more likes poor bird 😭😭
Well done, you did a great job with this video. Keep up the good work.
How to remove the tape afterwards as it sticks to its feathers and hows your hand saw a wound
The soonest appointment for a bird in my area is 2 too 3 weeks out.
Would be great to have such a video on parasites and worms - I currently raise 3 eurasian jays. turned out after much hassle that the suffer from gapeworms.
I currently don’t have enough money to take my lovebird Zuzu to the vet. He is bobbing, his eyes are almost always closed and his feathers are always fluffed up. I’m not sure what to do plz help! 🥺
is it okay.??
wiizard yes hes okay thankfully. Finally saved up for a vet visit a while back and turns out he just needed some more vitamins
Poppin Strawberry oh thank goodness 😭
If his fethers are fluffed up all the time he is dying but if u have a nother bird put ur sick bird in a different cage so ur other bird don't get sick
Thank you Dr, please send me link for how should one catch or hold the new parrot
Thanx a lot doc..u r such a wonderful person..thanx a lot ur enormous help..would never ever forget..no one answered me noone helped me..but u such a great person thnx doc
My Golden Finch male was losing his feathers first on his head then down his neck so a rubbed paraffin oil hoping to kill off any mites but after a week he lost more feathers on his abdomen. What should I do?
Hi Gabrielle, did you mean your male Gouldian Finch? If so, it is common for male Gouldian finches to experience hormonal imbalances that results in symptoms like these. We would recommend having him checked by a veterinarian. If you cannot do that, the first thing we would recommend doing, is to rest him far away from any females.
I am really thankful to you. because of u I could save my budgie from dying. one of my budgie died earlier I wish I could have seen this and provided her aid to live. I am happy I could save this one
We are glad to hear that our video was helpful Samridhi!
My cockatoo has not been moving a lot lately, but he is drinking and eating normally but he is fluffing his feathers a lot and was also sneezing, someone help !
It would be advisable to take your cockatoo to a veterinarian, there are many respiratory conditions that birds can suffer from, Vetafarm does make a lot of medications that can help with these but to treat your bird effectively you will need a diagnosis.
thanks for the tip!
take him to a hospital
I have the same problem with my severe macaw... But the problem is there aint no vets in the country... i hate my country....
i you put the bird in a hospita cage boge just like in the in the ideo how can he see inside the box when its all dark and how manny days is their any mdication i need to give
Hello, the bird doesn't need to see while he is inside the box, we are covering him so he can rest and not be stressed by things on the outside. The hospital box is used when you can't take your bird to the vet straight away, so you can keep him in the box until you can take him to a veterinarian. If he is unwell you can use Vetafarm's Poly-Aid Plus until you can take him to a vet, this will provide him with electrolytes to keep him hydrated, carbohydrates and proteins to give him energy to survive.
thanks alot for the answer god bless
sadly there are not enough avian vets in regional Australia, our nearest one is a 5 hour drive away, and the vet we have in our town have very limited knowledge of birds, he actually said we know more than what they do, they are good for physical injury such as splayed legs, or broken wing but actual illness, common response is if they bird is showing illness then it is on its way out. sad but true.
Unfortunately we know all too well about this problem, there are some promising young veterinarians and veterinary students coming through with a keen interest in exotics these days, however they are few and far between.
I can only hope that they would think to practice in places like regional cities in SA
Same problems in Italy, birds keeping and showing is very popular but it's very-very hard to find a Vet that specializes in birds...most of the times us breeders we seek help and advice on forums and online groups but you need to be very careful because some people think they can make a diagnosis and prescribe a cure over a picture or a video they've seen. Antibiotics and medicines abuse in doing a lot of damage in the long run...birds are becoming weak and hard to breed.
i have an indian ring neck and he/she about 8 month. When i got zipper he was maybe 4 month old and we hand feed him. well something is going on with him and the symptoms are no balance slight leg usage and smelly poop. he still eats well and has a hardy appetite. what can i do before talking him to the vet?
hi my love bird is sick.she's not moving that much and drowsy.She's fluffier.her body is getting black and her nose.Please help what to do.I can't see her dying 😞
i followed the rules you said in this video.Hope for the best 😞 I live in a country where a pet doctor isn't easily available 😢
Best of luck to you and your Lovebird Daisy! Fingers crossed she recovers. Be sure to offer plenty of fluids and try and get her eating.

Hello,, Veta Farm !! I have a very important question!? My Amazon parrot 🦜 My love. Out of nowhere!!
She broke her beak! 😱 ( not too large)but enough that. She bled a little and I held her and quickly applied a sterilized mini wipe and held it firmly on the end. It finally formed a clot. Seeing my vet tomorrow. I would like to know if you have already done a video on this type of injury!? If not may you do one?
When this happened, I couldn’t stop shaking and going back and forth in panic. I new what to do but, she is my baby.
Hi Rhonda, thank you for watching our video and for your story and feedback. We do not currently have a video solely based on broken beaks, but I will pass your feedback onto our team! We hope that she feels better soon!
Vetafarm thank You 🙏🏼. I still would like more feedback if you possibly have the time? She is much better! And her Aviary Vet says her break was straight across, said that that is an easier to heal break. As a posed to zig zagged
And less nerve pain. So she is eating a bit now and starting to play with her toys. And best of all. She won’t let my husband get close to me. Love it. When she was in great health. She would absolutely go after my broom. She is protective of me. And I her. We are best of friends. My baby. Thank you for everything you do. Fan forever.

Thank you for your channel. Please please please. I need you help. I leave in Greece. I have a canary 4 mounts old. He is very sick from a mount ago. I went to the doctors but my baby is still sick. At first he is drinking antibiotics as doxycicline then medicines for trixomonadies. Trixomonex after that the doctor find streptococcos. Now he is drinking amoxycicline but he is not good.

In Greece we have only two doctors for birds.Can you help me please?Thank you very much.
Hi, thank you for contacting us! You have done the correct thing by taking the bird to a veterinarian and getting him some antibiotics. The only other thing that it could be, is an Air Sac Mite Infection. Your veterinarian should be able to provide you with a product for this kind of treatment.
@@vetafarm Thank you very much for your answer.
@@ΜαρίαΣιμώνη-γ5ω Not a problem at all, I hope that your Canary feels better soon! Following antibiotic treatment, we would recommend getting it onto a probiotic supplement such as Synbiotic or Probotic to re-establish gastrointestinal flora! :)

could a hot water bottle on the bottom of the sick cage keep it comfortable.
I found a grown bird outside. It had it’s head burried in its wing and I doubt it was able to fly. I took it home cause it’s going to get eaten by animals outside. There’s some brown liquid discharge from it and its feathers are puffy. It rarely moves its head. It tried flapping its wings but I don’t think it can fly since I almost stepped on it outside too. I followed the instructions of the hospital cage but what should I do now?
Hi, thank you for commenting. It sounds like the bird you found might be quite sick. We would recommend getting the bird to a veterinarian or a wildlife carer for treatment. In the meantime you could give the bird a supplement such as Poly-Aid Plus to administer concentrated nutrients in one direct dose.
Vetafarm thank you!
One of my bird baby was bitten by a rat..lucky for me it survived now should I use antibiotics if so then which ones...
Dear Irteaza, it is difficult to know what antibiotics or treatment is required for your bird without doing a consultation and determining the extent of the injury to the bird. We would recommend you see your avian vet and have them examine the bird and it’s injury. Most importantly, ensure you keep the bird warm and hospitalised until it can be seen by a vet and you may also want to administer some Poly Aid Plus as a first aid supplement.
my cockatiels aged between 8months and 5years,i feed them only seeds..i live in a country where there is no avian vet and any awareness for birds..so after searching in net i found and decided to start them with harrison high potency,zupreem natural and nutriberries as morning treat..shal i give them all like one in morning and other in eve?and they are on baytril..so giving all makes any harm to my tiels?pls help me..it wud be helpful for me..ur answers wud b valuable..there is no avian vet in my country
Hello, if you can put your birds on to a pellet diet that will be better for their health. You can put the pellets in their food bowl with the seed and transition them to pellets. Some birds take longer to take to pellets than others and you don't want to starve your birds.
Why are they on Baytril?
I have an alexendrine parrot. He has not been eating for 3 4 days and silently sitting in the corner. His legs are not working. He cant walk.He is only drinking water and his Dropping colour is white. How can I treat him?plz help me
Hi Gloriya, thank you for contacting us! Unfortunately with those symptoms it could be several illnesses. We would recommend taking your bird to your nearest vet as soon as possible.
It was helpful what about respiratory infection?
Hi, thank you for watching our video! If you believe that your bird has a respiratory infection, we would recommend taking it to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. We do have some products that will treat respiratory infections. For a Chronic Respiratory Disease (Mycoplasma infection) we have Triple C, Spectovet or Psittavet. :)
Thanks so much 💜
Doctor, I have a 7 year old Cockateil and he has been passing watery stools since last Thursday. The feacus seems like bits and scattered and the urea is webby and white. Sometimes it’s just water and nothing else. I tried an antibiotic ofloxacin and metranidazole for 2 days. It seemed like getting better but back to being watery again. Will the triple c and symbiotic help? If yes, how and when should these be given? Kindly advice
Great tips.Thanks.
Not a problem!
A dove just fell in front of me. Its head is turned over its shoulder. It's breathing and blinking and that's almost all the vital signs it's showing so far! I have already prepared the hospital box, so at the moment it's lying in that box wrapped in a towel with a light bulb reasonably close to its body for warmth. What else can I urgently do to save that bird?!
+HungryForHeaven everything you are doing currently sounds good. Keep the dove warm and in a quiet area. I do suggest trying to get it to an avian veterinarian as soon as you can, if the bird has any broken bones or internal damage you are unlikely to see this externally.
+Vetafarm Thank you so much for getting back to me and for all the useful tips! Unfortunately I won't be able to take it to the avian vet until 2 days from now. So far the bird is alive but unable to feed itself. So I learned how to feed it and give it water. I'm feeding it wheat seeds and giving it water using a syringe. What I'm struggling with is determining the proper rations of seeds and water I should give to the bird. Do you, sir, have any suggestion on this regard?! Thank you so much in advance!
+HungryForHeaven It would depend on the age of the bird as to how much is should eat and drink, generally though, birds should consume between 8% and 10% of their body weight in food each day. I realise this is a couple of days late, did you manage to get it to the veterinarian?
HungryForHeaven quick question my brother and I have been helping my parents have been making is there any possibility where they could be bringing or is it not the breeding season or what is it because my first had started meeting at June and they just got a big dude June 4th 2016 what is the meaning of my birds are mating humans are going to breed and sometimes she was really scared crapless

WHAT MEDICINE USE WHEN GOULDIAN FINCH BABY STARTED TO MOULTING AFTER 6 MONTH?AND TO FIT BABY...
Hi Borhan, for a 6 month old chick that is going through its first moult, we would recommend using our Multivet which contains Moulting Aid, vitamins, minerals and proteins. The Multivet mixes up in their drinking water. :) For their diet we would recommend our Finch & Budgie Crumbles.
SIR PLEASE TELL ME SOME BEST GOULDIAN FINCH MEDICINE..HOW TO USE.FROM-INDIA..PLEASE REAPLY.
Hi Borhan, thank you for commenting on our video. What kind of medication are you looking for? What do you need to treat the finches for?
Which antibiotic sir and for how long and wat quantity should b give to a one month baby parrot
Hi, it depends on what the infection is? You should take the baby bird to an avian vet for an examination and diagnosis.
What If they look like this sometimes, but also play and fly? Just resting, right?
If they are eating, drinking and pooping normally then yes, they are likely to just be resting. If you are concerned about them though, be sure to take them to an Avian Veterinarian.
ATTENTION PLEASE: I have a Alexander parakeet 3 months old parrot. what type of food I can give him? can I give him strawberry and red kidney beans????? I think he is sick. He sometimes stands in one foot . and get his head inside his wings while sleeping. I don't have vet available near. what to do in emergency. I don't know what going wrong with him. HELP
Hi Diana, he should be eating a complete pellet/crumble as his staple diet. Something like Vetafarm's Finch and Budgie Crumble, or Superior Egg and Biscuit. He can definitely eat most type of fruits and vegetables. I would recommend google searching some safe bird vegetables and fruits and introduce these into his diet.
Bird do sometimes stand on one leg whilst resting and Budgerigars and Parakeets, as well as most birds do turn their heads around and tuck their face into their back over the top of the wings to sleep.
Vetafarm Thank You Sir . Your suggestions will help me a lot.
Can u give ur budgie amoxi if he's sick an if so how
Hi Kathy, thank you for watching and commenting on our video! We would not recommend giving the budgie any medication until he has seen the veterinarian. It will depend on what illness he has, as to what treatment he will need. What kind of symptoms is he showing?
@@vetafarm please my i have your email address.
I have a parakeet that I had previously brought to a local veterinarian who had prescribed baytril for it symptoms or tail-bobbing, clear nasal discharge out of one nostril and slight wheezing. Dan Hibiki was on it for 10 day's it seemed to have minimize his symptoms if at all. He has had a reocorunce of the clear nasal discharge and seems to rubbing his beak and head in the same area and still has the tail-bobbing and very slight wheezing that becomes more pronounced when he is excited or has done something very strenuous. Is there something else I can try or get prescribed for him or do in the meantime? The vet said it could be anything from a vitamin-a deficiency to a seed being stuck in his nose/airways. I could not afford the more advanced lab test to determine what the true bacterium was and opted for the simple poop smear test at the time of his week almost two weeks ago. He still eat's, and get's groomed and grooms my cocktail Junior, and act's like his normal self. I just don't want him to be in any pain or suffering from his particular aliments.
Hi Nicholas, your vet sounds like they are fairly on the ball about birds which is good, I would advise not giving any more antibiotics until you know what bacterium you are dealing with, as you will start to build antibiotic resistance, and we definitely do not want that. Perhaps continue with the process you are doing now, as long as he is eating and drinking well and behaving normally I would not stress too much. If you can work on saving a little bit of money for a culture and sensitivity swab on the nasal fluid that would be much more beneficial.
thank you very much.but for hour many days must the bird stay in the small box hospital and can we use a torch as a source of light.please reply soon.
+Shivanee Caully As it depends on why your bird is unwell I cannot provide a time frame for how many days the bird must stay in the box. If the bird does not start to improve within a few hours it is suggested that you have your bird seen by an Avian Veterinarian ASAP. As for a torch, it will depend on what kind of torch you are wanting to use the birds don't need a "light source" as such but they require a warm spot, and most lights will provide some heat, for example a 60 watt light globe.
+Vetafarm hello sir can u tell me about the sick buggies what should i do ?? my buggie getting fever and he is very lazy these days can u suggest me best syrup or drops or other medical tablets ??? i don't know the reason but he iis looking very sad

My budgie appears well but she is sneezing quite prolifically. Think a cold, what home remedies would you recommend as there is no avian vet in the city I live in. Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting on our video. These symptoms could be caused by quite a variety of different illnesses and therefore we would recommend travelling her to a veterinarian for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, we would recommend following the instructions on this video to help her fight the illness. Poly-Aid Plus is not a treatment, but is a great product for sick birds as it contains sustained-release carbohydrates, proteins, probiotics and electrolytes. These help to give the bird some energy. We do have an over the counter broad spectrum antibiotic called Triple C, that is for the treatment of bacterial infections including E. Coli (Enteritis), Mycoplasma (Chronic Respiratory Disease) and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). If you feel that your budgerigar may have a respiratory infection, it might be worth giving her a course of this antibiotic. Please ensure that you follow up the antibiotic treatment with Synbiotic or Probotic to re-establish the gastrointestinal flora in the bird. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at sales@vetafarm.com.au or on (02)69330400.
Excellent absolute gem of a video........ver very informative
Hi..i live in a country wer ter is no avian vet..srchng in net,I'm giving my cockatiels aged betwn 9months and 5years Harrison high potenc..but its ran outoff stock I will get it back next week..inbetween these time im giving them zupreem natural,after a week I will switch them agn to high potency..I used to giv them lafener nutriberries as treat and vetafarm probiotic everyday as per u prescribed😊 wen try r ill..any harm or any wrong im doing?pls help me doc..u saved my bird wen she is ill..
Hi there, it sounds like your birds diets are fantastic, if you are not already giving fresh vegetables and fruits (bird safe) I would say adding that to their diet would be ideal!
currently everyone having seeds and veggies with vitamin drops mixed water..im thinking to changing them pellets..hope that may too boost their immune system
Great to hear that you are supplementing. If feeding seed diets, birds definitely need supplements. On pellets they wont need any supplements, except if you wanted to help boost their calcium during breeding season, that is a good idea.
My Sunconure are plucking their Chest feathers... what to do?
There are many reasons why birds pluck, usually it is hormonal or health related. It would be best for your Conure to see an avian specialist as they can assist with treatments for both.
hi.,my lutino cockatiel is around 5 years old..she lost her tiny feathers around her left eye on sudden yesterday night..we couldnt fnd the reason.,we in india dont have avian vets to encounter what sort of probem is going on..so anyone pls help
There are many possible reasons as to why this could happen to your cockatiel, do you regularly treat for external parasites like mites and lice?
my budgie is sick and has liquid bowels what should i do...shes puffing her feathers
+Tweety Hunter, I would suggest taking your budgie to an Avian veterinarian to have a full examination and diagnosis made, unfortunately there are many reasons why a bird may be "puffed up" or have diarrhea.
Ok thank you. .i will take her 2moro right now i believe she has a respitory infection because of the breathing fast...i had her near a window...i have made her a hospital box for now in a warm area
+Tweety Hunter That's a great idea! Keep her nice and warm, but not too hot.
+Vetafarm she is not puffed up anymore but her breathing is still the same. I will give you an update. thanks for responding! !
I just found an UK based internet retailer that stocks many VETAFARM products, I'm going to give it a try and hopefully i will be able to recommend some stuff to my fellow breeders...that way we can share shipping expenses (I live in Italy). Keep up the good work and keep these video coming please!!
OK your the right guy my collared kingfisher i raised was so sick plssss help me..
Hello please help me
My bird is having direhha and he sneezes a lot
My parents won’t take it to the vet because of coronavirus
What can I do?
Same probleam but my budgie female syptoms are slepping a lot puffed feathers and red eyes any diagnose and cures )=
Hi Jenan, it sounds like your bird does really need to see a vet. If you are unable to get it to a veterinarian, it may be worth trying to give it a course of a broad spectrum antibiotic such as Triple C.
Hi.need help fast plzz I found a baby budgie very sick I think it
has diereah b coz it's vent is too much wet and and he poops in every 5 minutes and with little bit of blood what should i do coz where I live there r no vegetarian plz help I want to save this little baby.....😢
Hi Angela, there is not a great deal that we can do for this bird over the internet, he does need to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible if he has diarrhoea and blood in his stool. Follow the instructions on the video and perhaps try a broad spectrum antibiotic in it's water until it can be seen by a vet, something like Triple C will be fine.
My budgie is vomiting all seeds that he has eaten. Kindly suggest some medicines or treatment please as we have no nice vet in our area
Hi Pia, there can be several reasons that a budgie may regurgitate/vomit its seed back up. So in order to clarify its behaviour I need to ask a few questions. Is your budgie a male or female, and how old is it? Is this bird a pet that you handle or any aviary bird? Is it throwing up its seed onto something in particular or in the same spot, for example on you, or onto a toy? Has your budgie lost weight/condition at all? What are its droppings like? It is common for a male budgie to regurgitate what it has been eating onto a favorite person/toy as this is mating behaviour. This would be the most likely explanation if your budgie is a male. However they can also regurgitate/throw up when they are battling illnesses such as Canker, or Megabacteria infections.
Vetafarm hello sir,
My budgie is a female. I have brought her just 3 month back from a vet shop. She is now 1 year old. She has not lose weight but she has become inactive. She just rest on her ladder. Her motion is a dark green with white spot. Yesterday she has throwed out all d seeds that we're not digested by her. Can I go her a apple cider vinegar dissolved in water?
Hi Pia, a female budgerigar with the symptoms that you have listed is most likely a Trichomoas infection, also known as Canker. Treatment for this is a veterinary prescribed medication, and diagnosis of this requires a crop smear, and a wet prep that must be done by a certified veterinarian. I would recommend taking your budgerigar to a Veterinarian.
great job! love it. keep on doing these
Thank u so much doc..i will do as u told...should I worry for his last head hit on ceiling?he is still looking normal.will he do good or shall I do something doc?
I would just try to keep him calm and relaxed, if he does have a head injury and he cannot be seen by a vet then follow the hospital instructions in this video.
Thank you very much trustworthy good avian vets are hard to find so it is important to get reliable advise on how to keep my cockatiel less stressed until I can find one. He has a cold.
We are so glad that you found our video and Tony's explanations helpful. We hope that your cockatiel is feeling better soon!
I am an experienced cockatiel owner for the past 25 years but this is only the second time one of my birds caught a cold and unfortunately my very 1st cockatiel died after treatment with antibiotics. I have 4 cockatiels now. This one is one of my original broods a real song bird. I went away on holiday for 2 weeks and left them in the care of another bird owner. Unfortunately they were not well looked after and their very large aviary was extremely dirty with little food and water on our return. I have separated him into a hospital unit & left him in full sunlight all day and covered him up for a solid 12 hr sleep. I placed honey in his water and changed it several times. Gave him amino acid enriched flax seed along with extra pumpkin, linseed, kale, milled Goji Berries in his regular seeds. He also was given apple and lettuce which he hardly touched. I am happy to say that he has picked up 100% and is calling to the other birds in hope of joining them. I think I should continue to isolate him for at least 3 days in total is that wise?
Isolation is a good idea, just to be certain, in case it is something that can be spread from bird to bird. Sounds like you are taking very good care of him! If he is on a seed based diet, along with his fruit & vegetables, but no pellets, he may benefit from a Vitamin, Mineral and Amino Acid Supplement, such as Multivet.
It can't hurt so I'll go get him & share with the others whatever equivalent to Multivet they have in Quebec Canada . This is really helpful thanks
Thanx doc...one of my cockatiel looks overweight but I'm feeding her too Harrison high potency becoz she was ill once and overweight..any harm of feeding her high potency for 6months?some blogs show it wud be helpful for fatty liver birds..im.having no doc here to help me.so ur ans wud be very helpful doc..
I am not sure about any of the Harrison diets, I am not familiar with the diet that you speak of. I would recommend getting in contact with Harrisons and asking them. You don't want your bird to be overweight though, if she is overweight I would cut back on the amount of food provided until she is a good weight, or switch to a maintenance formula that is lower in fat.
hi doc...i got my delivered probiotic...i have read instructions doc..to clarify.,shall i store probiotics in refridgerator on medium level?i will give them mixed with water and replace it every 24hours..
Hi can anyone help me my pet male cockatiel has got a bleeding nose
Joshua Dixon do you think your bird hurry it's self against the cage?
You should take your cockatiel to a veterinarian for examination.
I did a huge mistake, I got another conure a week ago when i come after work my both conures are always with me but today one of them was on my shoulder i didn't felt that the another one is missing and she was staying over the door i didn't saw her and i pushed the door she started to fly around and after that she stopped in panic I went to the vet immediately but they said that they are not specialists and they don't know how to treat exotic birds I don't know where else to go, she is not looking good for me she is fluffied and closing her eyes and sitting alone , I know that this is not a good sign . She still can fly i saw her today drinking water and she eat little bit fruits after the accident but usually she is eating a lot and I'm worried that she is in shock and can't get over it What I should do to help her? I'm feeling really bad i never though i will do something like that and I don't wanna she to feel any pain because I have no idea how she feels.

my love bird is really fluffy and closes one of his eyes slowly constantly is he sick and what do u think it is ?
my lovies nap a lot too, it’s kind of a trademark thing for them, but if after an hour or two they haven’t started playing around and being loud, contact a vet :) i hope that helps
This is helpful although I wish I knew earlier. My budgie of nearly 4 years died a few days ago from cancer. I don't know any avian vets but I think this will help next time. Thankyou
Hi Sezen, that's very sad to hear. Bird's are masters of disguise, they often do not show any signs of being sick until they are VERY sick.
hey help me pls my collard kingfisher i raised was so skinny it wont eat his food..wht should i do???we dont have here a avian vet...
+susan gundaya same thing happened to my budgie but we found he had a lump under his beak so he couldn't eat properly. I'm no expert but try any vet they might be able to help you. All the best hopefully you get help very soon.
I'm sorry to hear about your budgie is that had cancer what type of cancer did your budgie has my birthday passed away 5 years ago June 11th 2011 is that so I hope your bird rest in peace
Hi, I have a weird situation. I have a lovebird and recently found of she has 2 holes in the back of her neck. I see her breathing box and other organs. Please please help, I already looked up things for 2 hours and found nothing. I'm going to take her to the vet tomorrow. Please reply if you know anything that will help her.
Hi Christal,
This doesn’t sound good at all! Due to the severity of the situation, especially if you can see organs, I would be getting the bird to a Vet straight away! It sounds like you are already doing that, which is great! Just make sure you keep him safe and well protected until you have found out what's going on.
Best of luck, we hope everything goes well!
hi my baby bird is dehydrated , need guidance please help it's 3 days old eclectus
Hi, what are you feeding your three day old eclectus?
Feeding kaytee
Is it a hand rearing formula?
PLEASE HELP ME:I am a bird dealer & here in my town no avian vet available
I generly treat my bird with medicines from my own experience & didn't have
any problem for many years, I am doing it for few years, but recently few of my finche's
droppings are exactly look like the seed they r having,thr dropping are not normal
and looks like the same seed I feed them, and they fluffed up and sit and don't behave
like before, I never encountered such problem, and donno how to treat it properly
thats why seeking help from you, I am from India(from a small town),please suggest
proper treatment and medicine's name for my finches,awaiting your reply and thanks
in advance.
There are many potential causes for this to happen. Avian Gastric Yeast is a possibility, without having any diagnostic testing done it will be difficult to determine the cause of the undigested food. I would advise to take one of the sick birds to a veterinarian and ask for a fecal smear and crop swab to be done, and have a laboratory examine the samples for a definitive diagnosis.
sir plz reply as possible ........
my bird put head in his feather and he looks like he is in some pain .... potty are struck its not remove...
Hi, you need to take your bird to a veterinarian if you think he is sick, he will need to have a physical examination.
My sun counre has the symptoms as you guys show a sick sun counre in this video.. and I we don’t have and bird vetarian in our country.. so I decided to perches you triple C medicine .. would that be enough for her or could you please help me with this situation... she shown exactly the same symptoms as you guys show a sick sun counre in this video
Hi Thishitha, thank you for commenting on our video! Unfortunately those symptoms can be a variety of illnesses and without a veterinary diagnosis it is very difficult to give you a treatment that we know would work! The Triple C will assist with Enteritis, Chronic Respiratory Disease and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). It is a broad spectrum antibiotic however it may or may not treat your birds illness depending on what is causing the illness. You would need a diagnosis for us to accurately give you the name of a treatment that would work. :)
hye doc.i'm from Malaysia...what can I do when my parakeet got worm in their body? hope u can help me.
Hi Syafeq, We recommend treating them with wormout gel. See our helpful videos on treating birds with worms. ua-cam.com/video/DZOTFXVlD-M/v-deo.html
+Vetafarm thanks doc... really appreciate that..
what of your bird fluffs up but doesn't look sick???
Hi Maya, birds will often not show symptoms of illness until it is already really bad. A bird who is constantly fluffed up and not behaving as they normally would needs a visit to an Avian Vet ASAP. However, birds will fluff up and ruffle their feathers often, as a sort of "readjustment". It's important to know what is and what isn't normal for your bird.
Thnx because I get scared my other bird fluffed up and looked kinda sick and died so I'm really scared
If your bird is showing the same symptoms as the one that died then you should try to take the bird to a vet.
Vetafarm im kind of confuse and i think my parrot is sick because she/he keeps closing his/her eyes and his/her fethers are puffy and keeps sleeping.....im so worried about my parrot
Hi Melanie, I would recommend taking your parrot to a vet for a check up.
i have a love bird....he is losing his hair from his head....& it skin can be seen What can be done to stop this ....& is this any disease ?
Hi, if you can take your bird to a vet for examination that would be best, however I would start with a parasite eradication protocol as my first point, treating the bird for all parasites (internal and external) and be sure to treat the environment as well.
I would then look at the love birds diet and make sure he is getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs and then do a short course of an antibiotic like Triple C just to rule out any minor infections, followed Synbiotic Avian for 10 days after the antibiotics.
thank you so much sir....
HI,
i wanted to know what is going on with my zebra finch she is acting normal but the problem is she has no feathers under its wing and all round its belly. Now when i asked my friends about that they said that it is just changing her feathers but she laid an egg before so it is not small, so that is the first thing i want to know weather she is sick or is that normal and if she is then how to treat her.
Now i have a second question i found out from a video that all of that could be caused by an egg stuck in her like she needs help getting it out , now if that is true how do i know for sure that it is an egg bound not a some kind of mite doing all of this.
I have a final question when i was looking at it i saw something weird it had like little yellow balls and fluid in her neck now is that something i should worry about or is that normal PLEASE answer me ASAP this bird is very important to me.
Thanks
Hello.
Egg binding and egg laying does usually not result in feather loss.
Is she plucking these feathers out herself?
If she is not on a complete pellet/crumble diet I would suggest trying to convert her. Majority of the time feather loss can be attributed to either malnutrition or behavioural problems. If it is a behavioural trait she may pluck her feathers when she starts to go into breeding season, around spring. For the most part though a good diet will improve her feather production and vitality. If you cannot source or convert your finch to a pellet diet then a good quality multivitamin would be essential to use with a seed diet.
As for the yellow balls of fluid in the neck. I would strongly suggest having her seen by an avian specialist vet. This does not sound normal...
Thanks so MUUUUCH!!!!!!
What happens if they stretch their wings in a heart shape?
What do you mean sorry?
How long do you leave them in the makeshift hospital room for? Also how long do you leave the heat source on for? Thanks ..
Hi Anthony, the hospital box has no set time frame for it's use. Ideally you will use the hospital box from the point you notice the bird is unwell until you feel the bird is better, I strongly recommend using a hospital box when you cannot get the bird to a veterinarian straight away. As for the heat source, I would suggest using it whilst the bird is in hospital. However if it is a hot day, you may not need it.
OK THANKU SIR.BUT WHEN GOULDIAN BABY STARTED TO MOULTING AFTER 5-6MONTH THIS TIME IS VERY CRITICAL.WHAT MEDICINE I USED THIS TIME?SIR PLEASE TELL ME.MENTION NAME OF THE MEDICINE.THANK U...
Generally we do not recommend any medicine other than Multivet for moulting unless there is a problem with the moult. We would recommend contacting your veterinarian for a consultation :)
my bird is so skinny and it will not eat..his food so help me pleas i love my bird....
Hi Susan, it would be best to take your bird to an Avian Veterinarian as soon as possible. Follow Dr Tony's instructions until you can have your bird seen by a veterinarian, there is not much we can suggest without physically examining the bird.
Thank you this was very helpful. But my parakeet has been having green and wet poop and I know this is bad but all other aspects are fine: Energy, feeding and drinking, and playing. What causes this? My house is cold but not freezing... Do I need to warm him or give him space or what?
+HammyHamster If you are not too concerned with the colour of his poop then I would recommend using Vetafarm Probiotic on him for a few weeks and see if this helps to reset his tummy, birds also tend to avoid showing any weakness/illness as it could get them injured or killed in the wild, so he may actually be sick and just be trying to hide it from you.
***** Thanks for the help! But he does seem healthier today than the day I posted that. Now I am concerned of him plucking his feathers. He plucked out 2 of them in front of me and I was worried about him. One problem to the next :/
+HammyHamster His runny, green poo and feather plucking could be linked to stress, or illness. If you can, I would suggest taking him to a avian veterinarian just to make sure everything is running ok inside :) Just to rule out illness.
***** Stress? To me he is the most carefree, grumpiest, stubborn little snob in the world. He trots around with his head in the air chewing on all of his toys and purposely flying towards my parents to poop on them. But all right I will talk to my parents about it ^^
+HammyHamster If you don't believe it to be stress related then at least a course of Vetafarm Probiotic would be a fantastic idea.
shal i mix with normal purified water or warm water doc?
Please mix the Probotic with normal water, at room temperature.
Vetafarm
i have found vetafarm powdered probiotic..is that ok or shal i found something in liquid forim..i dnt hav enough knowledge about this..pls tell
Vetafarm Probotic is great, it is a powder that you mix with water. You can use the back of the package to calculate the dose, use the Probotic probiotic after the antibiotic treatment finishes.
Hi there. thanks for the video. it was informative.
1- could you please tell what antibiotic can we keep at home just in case we need to start giving it to the bird if need be.
there are hardlyy any good vets that deal with birds on regular basis and the vet that we have found in our city, it takes time to take the bird there at times appointment takes time and so forth... so what should be given to prevent the infection, if any, from aggravating??
2- please tell what to give to parrots/baby parrots that start sneezing?
Hi Tannia, thank you for watching our video! We manufacture several types of antibiotics but they all have different active ingredients to treat different illnesses so the effectiveness will depend on what is causing the illness. The only antibiotic that we manufacture that is available at most pet stores without having to see a veterinarian is called Triple C. It is effective against E Coli (Enteritis), Mycoplasma (Chronic Respiratory Disease) and Chlamydia (Psittacosis). Another really good product to have in your avian first aid kit is Poly Aid Plus. It contains sustained-release carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, probiotics and electrolytes. It works by giving the bird enough energy to fight the illness off themselves. We also produce a product called Coccivet for treatment of Coccidiosis which can be purchased at most pet stores. The rest of our antibiotic treatments must be purchased through a veterinarian. We would still recommend getting any bird showing signs of illness to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Parrots/baby parrots that begin sneezing could be due to a number of reasons and we would recommend giving them Poly-Aid Plus and taking them to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
