Odie, Luna, Zoe & Panda (cockatiels), Oscar (rainbow lorikeet), Bandit (green cheek conure),
Indy (indian ringneck), Max (Eclectus)
So i'm pretty sure Max (6 week old ekkie) has a yeast infection.
There is a weird smell coming from his beak, his crop movement has slowed down, and there are red veins all over his crop.
Closest avian vet is 2.5 hours away and is not available until Monday at the earliest, even for emergencies.
What can I do to treat this? I am confident doing a crop flush (i've done this before with cockatiel chicks), but what can I give him to break down and kill the yeast so I can flush it out?
I can go to the chemist and get some Nilstat oral drops tomorrow morning, but would that work to treat this?
