So, miss Artemis.. (Previously clogged nose bird.)
Her nose has been perfectly fine and that snot has seemingly disappeared. She’s been living life just fine up until a couple weeks ago.
There are no distinct physical symptoms so I’ll try to explain the best that I can.
She still has energy, I wouldn’t quite call her lethargic. She is just slightly slower in her movements and less excited about things.
Seeing food gets her excited, and she is the only bird in that flock that seems to follow me around hoping for food. This is just recently too. She’ll eat, but only a little bit then grow disinterested.
I gave her some cottage cheese with a bit of garlic powder (she usually LOVES cottage cheese) and you could tell she wanted to eat it but she couldn’t quite bring herself to gorge like she usually does.
Overall, poor gal just seems like she’s trying to hide some discomfort.
She isn’t getting picked on.
Her vent looks normal.
Eyes, nose, and ears look normal.
I checked her droppings, normal.
No comb pale-ness.
Only noticeable physical trait is that her crop is almost always empty. I’m not talking just in the morning but 24/7. The other birds are usually about to burst.
Artemis has always been a string-bean and weighed less than them but it almost seems just a tad more noticable..
My mind instantly goes to parasites. Could it be a worm? What’s going on here? Anyone have any ideas?
I’d like to figure this out before it’s too late.
(Thank you for all of the support I’ve received on this website. When I’m feeling lost I always instantly know where to go.
