    Ways to manage chronic canker

    Again I only have two, they both had it. And my little birds are being kept separate from the chickens. These are house pets, no one is getting culled until end of life is either obvious or suffering surpasses quality of life. We are nowhere near that point. Update the canker is almost gone...

    Ways to manage chronic canker

    Update, the ACS solution seems to be working. He's hit the minimum run for it and I'm giving his body a break, he's been through so much in the last month. I got some colloidal silver that I will spritz in his mouth twice a day for a couple of days. Then I will restart the ACS, he still has a...

    Budgie Mutations 101

    Is it just the dark factor making her look teal instead of green? That's why I think golden because she's kind of an aqua/teal color rather than green or blue... In an article I was ready this bird was labeled golden face. And that color is very close to her color. I'm not arguing, just trying...

    Weak 6 week old bantam

    Hey I have a chick she's about 6 weeks old and just finished a round of Albon 5% oral suspension for coccidia. Now she seems listless and off balance. Her brothers and sisters are fine. I suspect a vitamin deficiency, though an online vet suggested possible overdose. Could I get some advice on...

    Lathargic 2 1/2 year old Brabanter hen.

    We took a fecal sample to our vet today, float and smear were negative for parasites. They also did a gram stain, she had an over growth of bad gut bacteria. So shes on heavy duty probiotics for the next week or so. A tube of benebac until its gone. In a couple of days she should be right as...

    Lathargic 2 1/2 year old Brabanter hen.

    As the title states my hen Courtney, is lathargic. She hasnt laid properly in months for various reasons which will be covered below. And I'm here looking for advice, but some things to consider first. 1, shes a fancy breed with low laying expectations and she produced WAY more eggs than...

    2 1/2 year old Brabanter lathargic and not laying.

    So a couple of days later Courtney has lost 3 oz, she's eating intermittently and she ate some probiotic enriched Grit yesterday. I spent yesterday feeding her with a dropper and she voluntarily ate a bit of dry food. I'm hoping this is the turning point. And her amprol still hasnt shown up...

    Courtney is doing better. Less droopy and mopey. Shes not losing weight and is eating more. I think she was just sad, I'll keep monitoring her but I think shes okay.

    Yup, her crop is still emptying properly. I'm going to start her on vitamins before I go to work. It's going to be my husbands job to make her eat. I change her diaper when I come home for lunch. Hopefully it's full like normal, last night it wasn't.

    We have a rooster, and they are both house birds. They cohabitate with us and our 2 lovebirds and others budgie. Our hen and new rooster are very close, they usually spend thier days palling around the house and going to the park. We get them out as often as possible and we have a huge by...
