[chloeb67]

Help! i think he has something stuck but i don’t know how to help! None of the vets do poultry. Why should i do?

Is he able to eat and drink? what are his symptoms? Can you feel anything when you gently feel along his neck?
Can you put up a video of what he is doing?

Can you put up a video of what he is doing? He won’t eat but he is attempting to drink, i cant tell if he’s swapping it though. His beaks sort of vibrating and opening like he’s breathing heavily. He has his legs spread out behind him and his wings open. We are bathing him and he’s dipping his beak in and drinking. We are supporting him whilst he’s moving around in the bath.

Sounds serious, any discharge coming from bill or eyes? Can you hear any congestion in his lungs? Could be respiratory. Honestly, he may need antibiotics you can buy them online but if at all possible a vet would be best since ordering antibiotics takes a while and he may not have the time. Are you keeping him inside and using warm water to bathe him?

-How long has he been like this?
-Is he usually outside and is there anything he could have gotten into like mushrooms, rat/moue poison, moldy feed etc.?
-What is his diet when he is eating? What brand of feed and why treats?
