Hi all,
I bought a bird from a good breeder at the Ohio nationals, well, it has something, I think lice maybe from the photos people have posted in other threads,(the look of the eggs on shaft).
So he has been seperated from everything else I have all this time. We clean his cage and I put sevin all over him and in his bedding. It just doesn't seem to be doing what I would think it should.
I read about putting him in a garbage bag, head out, and adding sevin and moving him around to coat everything.
Any other suggestions?
After doing this for a couple days and every week for a couple weeks, should I bath him?
I know he is tired of being all alone but I keep him on a completely different area so he is not remotely around anyone else. lol.
In turn I can't use him for the intended purpose of what I bought him for. I let the breeder know so he could check his birds at home. He said they are probably mites and he was sorry about that....
Me personally I would check birds before sale and not let them go anywhere if anything wrong with but that's me guess.
So I'm hoping for some help help with this. Can I get kitten wormer and give to him?
I've already lost 2 months time with him now.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions,
REALLY appreciate it!
Take care,
Angela
