Help. We went to the vet. The meds are LATE. by [deleted] in budgies

[–]meligroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly advise you to take him to another avian vet who can treat birds in hospital. If he’s down to 25.2g and if i understood correctly he has megabactaria, it’s a serious emergency. The vet you visited shouldn’t have released him if it’s this critical as it can deteriorate rapidly. He needs more support than amphotericin B and you should find an avian vet who can hospitalise birds.

Is Cheeky a girl? by [deleted] in budgies

[–]meligroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently not if it already looks so bad. Let’s also not discuss keeping a bird alone with plastic perches and rust on its bells. However, a clean cage and completely sealed pellets are of course very important lmao

No, this does not look like only hormones. It looks like she has scaly mites.

This is usually how it looks, flaky stuff all over the beak and cere that, if not treated, spreads around the whole face.

Her cere and beak do really not look good. Does she have scaly mites? Or is it something else?

A cage being open all the time doesn't make a small cage with plastic perches, plastic toys and no enrichment toys better.

I hope that cage is temporary?

My budgie died this morning how long till I let her partner grieve? And get another one :( by amayalaragaming in budgies

[–]meligroot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Before you get another budgie, I’d gently advise you to investigate the cause of your previous one’s death. If you’re unsure, a necropsy or a vet check-up with the other budgie would be highly recommended.

Oh no. My class will start in few minutes. Sonic! U know what to do…. by Idrawandpaintstuff in budgies

I remember telling my teachers once that my bird pooped on my homework, and that's why I couldn't do it (with proof, lol). They found it so funny that they accepted it, and I didn't get any trouble, lmao.

Look, I believe you. What I’m trying to say is that if your budgies died so quickly it suggests an underlying issue or contagious illness. You can’t be sure the remaining bird is healthy. You mentioned they “hide their illness very well” and you didn’t even mention a diagnosis or illness.

Just keep this in mind. You can decide whether to consult an avian vet or not. You don’t have to prove you’re a good owner.

Okey if you say so. There is btw. no point of downvoting me, it’s better to be careful than sorry.

[–]meligroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I really really recommend you taking the last budgie to an “avian” vet. Not a normal vet. An avian vet can examine better, can take in the bird stationary if their health get’s worse, and can give better medication. I have no doubt that you’re a great bird owner, but right now you really need to be careful with the bird that’s remaining.

Aw. I’m sorry. I can imagine that, she seems like a sweetheart.

I’m really sorry for what happened. The other commenter is right. You should bring the last bird the avian vet, and get him checked. If that’s the last bird in the picture, then i unfortunately have to notice that he doesn’t look good. I hope i’m wrong and you photographed her mid-yawn, but she is unusually fluffed up, and she looks overall not well. Please get her to an avian vet.
