URGENT... LOSS OF FEATHERS ON BUTT WITH POOP AROUND IT.

[ConnecticutCowgirl]

Hi all,

So my beloved Voledemort has lost most/all of the feathers on her butt. The feathers that are left are coated in dried poop. What do I do??? Is it vent gleet? I can post a picture if it helps. All under the vent there is poopy feathers as well... HELP ME!

Thanks!

It may be vent gleet. Wash her bottom off in warm soapy water or epsom salts water, and let her dry in a warm environment. Trim the poopy feathers. Antifungal creams such as mycostatin, Lotrimin, and Nustock can help. Probiotics or some occasional plain yogurt are also helpful.Some info here: http://www.tillysnest.com/2012/12/vent-gleet-prevention-and-treatment.html
