I was in my pet store this morning, and saw this poor budgie there.
This poor little one is in rough shape,
> red and puffy underneath both eyes
>his cere is crusted somewhat
>missing feathers around his eye from scratching
>tail is pumping a bit
>nostrils seem clogged
I brought him home and this is what I have done:
gave Ivermectin
1 dose of Baytril and will continue for a 10 day course of treatment
put him in the sunshine outside
gave him seed with kelp, prime vitamins.
fresh water.
I will mist him later and give him a good cleaning
I am quarantining him in my Sarahs' room until he is good, probably months from now!
he's eating and drinking his poop seems ok, from what the store told me but I don't believe them.(he hasn't gone yet to determine what his poop is like)
he's been this way for two months, they gave him Tetracycline, it seemed to help somewhat, but he's still sick.
I have plenty of meds here, so I'm just going to treat him with Baytril for now and see if he improves.
I will start feeding him veggies and see if he eat them.
How in the he&^ can they just leave him like that
any suggestions would be very helpful!! thanks everyone.
btw, we named him/her "Puffs" he's a cute little guy
