Budgerigar: Arrow, Esther, Kratos, Cora, Ducky.
Lovebird: Izzy, Gizmo.
2 weeks and his butt looked so much better!
The redness went down, his scab was almost gone until he decided to pick at it today, and there's been some feather growth!
The doctor also said that the area by the oil gland felt less irregular and less hard meaning that the antibiotics were working fine and it wasn't a tumor (phew).
The scab was raw again and he issued me to keep administering the medicine he was on before and added down cream to place on it for the next 2 weeks again.
And to keep from picking he made a cape out of a latex glove. It took a while for him to cut it to the perfect size and my mom was cracking up while he was talking about making it into a muumuu LOL. Gizmo was not appreciative at all, he's still fighting with it. I also received a few nasty bites that sunk into my skin - but it's also the first time he's done that . Right now he's resting in his cage, everything had to be moved down to the lowest level and the grate is covered in newspaper to make it more even for him and to stop him from tripping.
Just to add:
And after I decided to head out to go to the pet store nearby to check out the Betta's while I continue to get the materials for my tank and I spotted Rosellas! I never knew Hawaii carried them at all and I never knew how big they were. I was taken back a few steps and the pure size of them. I imagined them as a Cockatiel, not a larger Conure species! My next task is to try hold one .
