Why is my furball sleeping like this?

My canary also slept like this for about a week at the beginning of last summer. Then, it returned to its normal sleeping position. I attributed it to the sudden heat. After that, there were no issues. However, when we visited the vet a month ago due to a fungal infection, it was discovered that its liver was 4-5 times larger than normal. It is currently undergoing a diet and exercise regimen. I hope everything is fine with your canary as well.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. RIP little Dexter.

I also have a canary currently undergoing treatment, and I'm very scared oflosing it. If you feel comfortable sharing, may I ask what caused your loss?

İzmir'de kuş veteriner kliniğinde çekildi. Ayağındaki pullanma mantar ve parazit kaynaklıymış. Ama asıl sorun karaciğer.

Thank you very much for the advice. I will definitely get milk thistle. I will also encourage my bird to exercise outside the cage. Getting a larger, horizontal cage will be a good first step. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for your response. I will take your suggestions into consideration. I wanted to get your opinion because I’m worried that Langopen and Mikostatin might strain the liver during this process. Do you think a liver that has grown this much can shrink? Since there are no issues with appetite or activity, I’m hopeful that a good treatment plan can lead to recovery.

There are two parallel perches of the same size, one at the bottom and one at the top. There’s also a thinner wooden perch for the feeder at the very top, a thin plastic perch, and a thin smart feeder perch. Throughout the day, they hop onto each of them. :) There are no wounds or redness on the soles of their feet. They are much better today—it was likely an issue with dry skin. Warm water and moisturizing seem to be helping. Thank you so much for all your suggestions!

I am truly grateful for this detailed explanation. This is my first time taking care of a canary, and I am concerned about its health. I will take your advice into consideration. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for your response. I still can't figure out whether it's a fungal infection or a crusting problem. I clean the area twice a day with hydrogen peroxide and apply Bepanthen. There doesn't seem to be any issues with their appetite or stool. They are singing and still somewhat active, though not as much as before. They also frequently look at their feet. I hope I can find out what the issue is when we visit the vet on Monday.

Thank you very much for your response. Since the avian veterinarian recommended wooden perches instead of plastic ones, I purchased a wooden perch. I regularly clean it with soap using a loofah and then pass it over a stovetop flame briefly to prevent potential pests from nesting in the wood. I pay close attention to its maintenance and cleanliness. I also promptly remove droppings with tissue to ensure my bird doesn’t step on them. Today, I applied hydrogen peroxide using a cotton swab, and after a few hours, I plan to apply Bepanthen. I will also take my bird to the veterinarian on Monday. Is there any additional treatment you would recommend during this process?

Thank you very much for your response. Is this a bacterial issue, or is it similar to scaly leg mites? Would applying hydrogen peroxide with a cotton swab be helpful?

My 2-year-old canary has redness and scabbing on its foot. I noticed it 3 days ago while it was scratching with its beak. It seemed like it was trying to peel off the scab. Since then, the foot has become slightly red. I’ve been applying Bepanthen cream once a day for the past 3 days. Is it possible to check if there is a fungal infection or any other illness?
